Swords & Wizardry RPG Mega Bundle at Humble Bundle

I'm a huge fan of Frog God Games' Swords & Wizardry releases. The current Swords & Wizardry RPG Mega Bundle at Humble Bundle has some really nice picks, even at the $1 Bundle level.

At the $1 Bundle level, the titles that stick out to me are 1975 (Bill Webb), Against Tsathogga (Skeeter Green), and The Riot Act (James Spahn), among other titles.

The other sweet spot is the $18 Bundle level, which adds in City of Brass, Grimmsgate, Hall of Bones, all seven entries in the Hexcrawl Chronicles, and How Orcus Stole Christmas, among a total of 62 titles.

The level to avoid is the $38 bundle. You don't need a physical book that was a secondary part of a Kickstarter over a decade ago.

Earlier today a HUGE Classic Pathfinder Bundle hit Humble Bundle. If you play ANY of the earlier versions of D&D or its clones, it's easy enough to convert Pathfinder 1e on the fly. 

74 PDFs for 25 bucks - (and 69 more PDFs for 50 bucks total) - more gaming than you can shake a stick at.

Humble Bundle - RPG Book Bundle - 5th Edition MegaBundle: Gygax, Kobold, Friends & More

While I am not a huge fan of D&D 5e, I find it to be extremely simple to convert a 5e adventure to the OSR system of my choice. So if you offer me quality 5e adventures at a dirt cheap price, I'm all in.

With the 5th Edition MegaBundle: Gygax, Kobold, Friends & More RPG Bundle, I'm all in.

I have a few of these in OSR releases, but 25 bucks for nearly endless adventuring material is difficult to pass up :)

Kickstarter - Tome of Essential Horrors (OSE)

The Tome of Essential Horrors contains more than 100 monsters, as well as an OSE stat block, B&W art, and an encounter description.

I love monsters in my RPG games. It's why, when I first decided I was going to play around with self-publishing, I kicked it off with what was essentially, two mini monster zines. I've also designed and published many monsters under the OGL right here at The Tavern.

The Tome of Essential Horrors Kickstarter is simply more monsters for my old-school RPGs and that rocks. Written for OSE but easily usable with any of the retro-clones with little if any effort, it brings over 100 monsters from prior Swords & Wizardry (and likely Pathfinder) versions of the monsters up to OSE standards, with new art and layout.

It has been more than 20 years since Necromancer Games first unleashed the Tome of Horrors, and our philosophy has not changed: Everybody needs more monsters! Necromancer Games has always been known for its monsters, and with the Tome of Essential Horrors, we would like to introduce those unique and mysterious creatures to your Old-School Essentials' table.

This beast of a book contains more than 100 monsters and brings classic monsters from Frog God Games and Necromancer Games to OSE referees and players. Each entry includes a full OSE stat block, classic black-and-white art, and an interesting encounter that highlights the creature. The Tome has been designed with Advanced Fantasy Old-School Essentials in mind but is compatible with both Classic Fantasy and Advanced Fantasy OSE.

Personally, I love the encounters. Many of the encounters can be likely be fleshed out into full mini-adventures, so there's lots of gaming material within the pages. Frog God is offering a sneak peek at the contents, with the Naga section of the book available for free download at DTRPG.

Here's how the Print versions line up (note: PDF starts at $15)

Print Formats

The Tome of Essential Horrors has two formats available. The interior pages and trim sizes are identical (A5, approximately 5.8" x 8.3"). These will be printed via DriveThruRPG’s Print-on-Demand Service*.

Full-color laminated cover pages and paperback covers are glued together at the spine.
