OSR Christmas - Punting the Final Day Until Tomorrow Afternoon

Yeah, I was going to try and push out the final, huge OSR Christmas post tonight but in truth, I'm exhausted. Its been a wonderful Christmas, but all I want to do right now is have a beer and go to bed, which is exactly what I'm going to do.

Day 11 gifts will be awarded and Day 12 gifts will be posted tomorrow. Morning, afternoon, evening? I haven't a clue yet ;)

I hope you all had a blessed weekend :)

Frog God Holiday Freebies - Stoneheart Valley - Mini Campaign - S&W & Pathfinder

Its Christmas my froggie friends and the Frogs bring the holidays to an amazing conclusion. Stoneheart Valley is today's freebie. Normally about 15 bucks for the PDF the price is now FREE (for a limited time)!

Grab it before its gone...

Finally, welcome to the World of Necromancer Games! From Bill Webb and Clark Peterson's home campaign comes the old-school setting of The Lost Lands: Stoneheart Valley. For over a decade, fans of Necromancer Games and Frog God Games have been asking to see the world behind the adventures. And at long last, here is where it all began, in the Stoneheart Valley near the town of Fairhill. This mini-campaign was originally presented to the fans of Necromancer Games in three separate modules: "The Wizard's Amulet", "The Crucible of Freya", and "The Tomb of Abysthor". Frog God Games has taken the full series from the 3E version plus supplemental material previously available only online, and converted it all to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system and the Swords & Wizardry Complete ruleset. 

Weighing in at 192 pages for Pathfinder (retail $32.99), and 144 pages for the Swords & Wizardry Complete rules (retail $29.99), this new product is the first offering in The Lost Lands setting, coming from Frog God Games. Expanded, enhanced, and providing hours and hours of adventure, this hardbound book is intended for characters of levels 1-8 (and beyond), including dungeon, wilderness and city encounters.

Merry Christmas Folks!

As a side note, today's OSR Christmas post will be delayed until this afternoon at the earliest. Possibly tomorrow. I will do my best to get it up today :)

I'll try to act upon the 21st and 22nd tomorrow. In any case, everything should be caught up by Wednesday, the 28th.

I really hope folks have been grabbing the Frog God Freebies. The past two days have been Lost Lands bundles with maps and players guide. Good stuff. Grab it. Reminder, OSR Christmas Gifts from Frog God Games will be taken care of after the New Year.

Then there are the recent releases I haven't gotten to. Next week. Physical CSIO maps, RPG books, PDFs and more.

RPGNow Deal of the Day - Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak (5e)

Today's Deal of the Day is Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak by +trey causey . Normally $7.99 in PDF, until 11 AM tomorrow morning (Eastern Time) it is one sale for $2.65.

From the blurb:

After turning himself into a manticore, the self-style wizard-artiste, Mortzengersturm, moved to the crystalline peak of Mount Geegaw to practice his transformation magic without interference. You've been hired to snatch his most prized artifact, the Whim-Wham Stone--or at least some of its eldritch light. A menagerie of magic hybrids, a self-absorbed vampire, more than a few hippogriffs, and of course, the mad manticore himself await! 

It's like a Rankin-Bass stop motion special--except it could end in a total party kill. Are you up to the challenge? 

Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak is a 5e-compatible adventure for 5-6 players of 3-4th level set in the Land of Azurth. This digital edition contains exclusive extras: a map and brief gazetteer of Yanth Country (the locaiton of Mount Geegaw), and a short excerpt from an upcoming Land of Azurth adventure.

Frog God Games - Holiday Freebies - Day 10 - Tour de Northlands PDF Bundle - Another Must Have!

Two bundles in two days - what are the Frogs thinking off?

The Tour de Northlands PDF Bundle ($14 value) is the latest Frog God Holiday freebie.

What's included?

• the Northlands Map
• the Players Guide to the Northlands.
• Tales of the Lost Lands: Northland Short Stories

Now, if you also grabbed yesterday's Tour de Sinnar Coast Bundle (still available as I type this and a $25 value)) you would have 5 Lost Lands Player's Guides, 2 regional maps and some Lost Lands fiction.

You could treat this as a free introduction to the Lost Lands setting. I know that's how I see it :)

Frog God Games - Holiday Freebies - Day 9 - Tour De Sinnar Coast PDF Bundle - Must Have!

Alright, I don't say this much but here it is - The Tour De Sinnar Coast PDF Bundle is a MUST HAVE. No excuses, grab it.

It is in many ways pieces of the puzzle of what is the Lost Lands.

It is also systemless, so no matter what system you prefer this bundle fits your needs.

Did I mention its free?

You get the Sinnar Coast map and Players Guides for:

Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms
Rappan Athuk
Lost City of Barakus
Borderlands Provinces

Jon Peterson Tracks Down Gary Gygax Interview from "Tomorrow" with Tom Snyder (1979) - Audio

When Jon Peterson strikes gold, the man strikes it by the pound.

Yesterday Jon shared the sound file of a TV interview from "Tomorrow" with Tom Snyder from back in 1979 in which Snyder interviews Gary Gygax. It is simply an amazing piece of history that probably hasnt been heard in 38 years.

While you can grab the file directly from Soundcloud I strongly recommend you go to Jon's site - Playing at the World - where he has published a full transcript of the interview.

Good stuff!

Tip of the hat to +Zach H for bringing this to my attention.
