Black Friday Doorbusters at DTRPG

I always enjoy the deep Discount Doorbusters at DTRPG on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and today's Black Friday picks aren't bad, either. Actually, they are pretty good :)

Let's start with Gods of the Forbidden North for OSE Advanced. This 480-page campaign is the first of three volumes, and it is a 4.99 deal that will give you months of adventures for levels 1 to 5. It can be run as a sandbox or episodic adventure path. It has 4.9 stars and 38 reviews. This is one I had missed, and I'm grabbing it now!

Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory, Core Rulebook. I returned to active gaming via the Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy ruleset in 2008 or so. Warhammer 40k holds a special place in my gaming heart. 7.49

I already own the Witcher Pen & Paper RPG. I haven't run it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the lore aspect. 7.49

The Walking Dead Universe RPG. Honestly, I gave up on The Walking Dead sometime around Season 4. But for 4.99, I could be tempted.

I've only heard good things about Rivers of London, really good things. At 5.99, I'll gladly take the plunge.

Exalted: Essence. I'm not a fan of the Storyteller System. Admittedly, this is a streamlined version of Exalted 3e. Maybe I'd like it. Doubtful. 5.99

There are some huge discounts on D&D 5e books over at Amazon, some discounted AND priced at "get 3 books for the price of 2". If there are holes in your 5e collection, now is likely a good time to plug them.

Tech Picks for Gamers - Amazon 10" Tablet for 80 Bucks and More Goodies

So, if you are like me you've been accumulating your share of PDFs. I prefer to read in bed or my recliner than at my desk, so a tablet is a must. Not everyone has the cash for an iPad (nor does everyone like Apple products, but Amazon has its Fire HD 10 Tablet (10.1" 1080p full HD display, 32 GB) on sale from 149.99 down to 79.99. Amazon's Fire HD 8 Tablet, 8" HD display, 32 GB is marked down from 89.99 to 54.99. There's even a 7" option, but that isn't really suitable for PDF reading. 

I'd personally go with the 10" Fire.

Now, for the young kids in the family, you might consider the Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet, 7" Display, 16 GB, Blue Kid-Proof Case. I bought this for my niece 2 years ago. It broke and Amazon replaced it without a fuss.

Additionally, you might want a multi-charger if you have more than one device to charge at a time, like a phone and your tablet. Oh, and a portable battery back up just in case your phone is about to die and you're not home. Maybe even something with international plug adaptors. And what about that wireless charging your phone can do? Look no further:

High-capacity 6700 mAh power bank w/LCD for 39.99 less 10.00 - 29.99! fits in any book bag or even your pocket, doubling as a standard wall adapter. It is also compatible with all Qi-enabled devices (see list) – such as iPhone 8, 8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, S8, S8 Plus, S9, S9 Plus, Google Pixel & more! And can quickly charge your smaller MacBooks, iPhone, Samsung, and many more devices either at home or on the road! (C-type Charging for Smaller Macbooks Only) Normally $79.99, SALE Price $39.99. But wait. We have a $10 coupon: use 10FREEBUCKS - Note, I own this and it works as advertised. I am happy with it, may need to buy a second at this price. For 30 bucks with the coupon, it is a steal (Not from Amazon - Decibel Electronics)

It's the World of Covid. Contactless Thermometers are the in thing. Grab yours for 16 bucks (13 Deals - Again, not Amazon)

Bonus Pick: RPG Dice, a buck a set. 2 dozen 7 dice sets for 24 bucks plus shipping. To NYC it was 35 bucks shipped for 24 sets. Random colors. Free delivery if you do in-store pick up. Great for game clubs, libraries, giveaways, conventions, and simply for gaming. If the dice don't cooperate, throw them away ;) (Dollar Tree)

RPG Black Friday Sales - Buy 2 (at a discount), Get 1 Free and More Goodies

So, last week I highlighted that Amazon was offering some deep discounts on the WotC 5e titles. Well, those deep discounts are stacking with a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion. Holy Crap. Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is 23.33 after coupon (not part of the buy 2, get 1 promo)

The Conan Board Game from Asmode - usually around 110 bucks on sale for 77.01 - might be worth it for the minis alone.

Age of Conan board game. Normally  89.90. Now, 30 bucks.

I know I pick on Starfinder, but it's 26.66 with coupon. I know somebody out there wants it ;)

Pacesetter Games and Simulations - 50% off Print and PDF. I just picked up the four Swords & Wizardry Light adventures and the BX RPG System Boxed Set at half off.

Fire HD 10 Tablet (10.1" 1080p full HD display, 32 GB) - We all need a tablet to read our numerous PDFs in bed. Here's a very affordable option.

Did I mention Tim Shorts has a Mystery Box of Adventures for sale for 50 bucks? The Mystery Box of Adventures consists of 25 items from Tim's warehouse. All randomly packed by Whisk. Inside each box, all of these are possible: Micro-Adventures, small and zine-sized, Micro-Locations, small and also zine-sized, NPC Cards, Mini Manor Zines, Issues of the Manor, Hunters in Death, and other surprises.

That's all for today. For those waiting on the Talking Crit podcast from Bad Mike and myself, Anchor's site is currently offline, so it will (hopefully) go up tomorrow.

More Black Friday Deals - Goodman Games 40% Off - KenzerCo up to 50% off - 2019 Palladium Xmas Grab Bag

More Black Friday Sales for gamers and the OSR in particular.

Goodman Games has a coupon code for 40% off - and more codes for 20% off most of the third party products they sell in their online store.

KenzerCo has selected Aces & Eights Reloaded and Hackmaster at 50% off as well as Back Issue Specials of Knights of the Dinner Table.

Palladium has its 2019 X-Mas Surprise Package for 50 bucks. I did it one year and got a signed first printing of Palladium Fantasy (and a bunch of other stuff) - one of my favorite fantasy RPGs for the default setting alone!

There are NO affiliate links above, but there are good deals :)

Black Friday Deals - Frog God Games - PRINT Products as much as 59% off - 2019 10" iPad for $249 - Troll Lord Sale 25% (plus 10% or 20%)

Sorry I'm late getting these deals up, but I had to confirm the Frog God Games Sale. Frog God Games is running a Black Friday weekend sale on the Frog God website. A large selection on the site, PRINT & PDF, is 35% off.

But wait! If you go to Humble Bundle and buy the Orcus' 5e Holiday Horde Bundle (an amazing value no matter the system you play, and you can buy in for as low as a buck) you get a one time use coupon for 30% off your Frog God Games order. Together, the sale discount and the coupon discount come to 59% off the regular price. Damn!

I snagged the Necromancer Gab Bag myself - normally $200, snagged for $91 plus shipping.

Then on Amazon, you have the 2019 10" iPad for $249 (regularly $329) - a hard to beat price for probably the best tablet on the market if you are swimming in PDFs like me, this is hard to pass up.

Troll Lord Games is also having a sale. Here's the skinny:

OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR IS HERE!

OSR Black Friday Sales - Part The Third - Trolls and Hacks and More

Its ACTUALLY Black Friday now. Let's see what sales have been added to the mix. Prior posts are here and here.

KenzerCo

Kenzerco's 2018 Hack Friday [CyB3rMonday] Sale

Thanks for checking out our annual mega-sale. There's values across the board with a majority of products 50% off for the shopping holiday weekend (Friday through Monday).

All orders of $50 (in merchandise) will receive a free copy of a Bundle of Trouble. $100 orders will get two. (The specific volume is determined by stock on hand.)

Stacking "percent off" doesn't usually add up as well as you think it might but by my math, $20 to $50 becomes 46% off and over $50 becomes 52% off. Still HUGE discounts at The Trolls.

Jeff Talanian

Last Chance to Snag RPGNow Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals

As I type this there are just over 13 hours left in RPGNow's Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sale. If you have stuff on your virtual wishlist, it is now or never.

Here's some last minute ideas:

OpenQuest 2 Deluxe - $12.75 - Built of the OGL of Mongoose RQ (later Legends) this seems very reminiscent of Chaosium RQ2 if you ask me, and that's a good thing.

OpenQuest 2 Basic Edition - Free - try before you buy, this is a stripped down but fully playable version of the above.

Call of Cthulhu 6th edition - $16.34 - do I really need to explain what this game is about? It isn't whether you go insane, its how soon...

Numenera - $16.99 - might actually be playable if you have someone clean up the watermarking for you.

Starships & Spacemen 2e - $5.48 - Star Trek Classic Series w/o the serial numbers.

Mutant Future: Revised Edition - $5.91 - Gamma World clone

Bloodshadows: Fantasy-Noir RPG (Third Edition) -$ 12.71 - pulp adventure with dark fantasy and noir stylings

Bloodshadows (OpenD6) - $8.46 - see above

These are the last bits of the Necromancer Games stock from the old Days of Swords and Sorcery Studios, and are being offered to you for the last time.

Echelon Game Design - James Spahn (Barrel Rider Games, publisher of White Star and of Labyrinth Lord supplements) had an unfortunate interaction with a kamikaze bambi. He and his family are fine, nobody in the car was injured, but they’re looking at a big repair bill.

I was already planning to run a sale this weekend, but it’s changed a bit. From now through Cyber Monday, all Echelon Game Design products — Polyhedral Pantheons, Draconic Bloodlines, and the entire Echelon Reference Series — are on sale at a 20% discount. Half my proceeds will go to James to get the bambi-shaped dents and other damage to his car fixed.
