Bundle of Holding: Old Gods of Appalachia

The hills have a way of calling you home, even when “home” is a place of old wounds, older powers, and stories whispered through the trees. The Old Gods of Appalachia Bundle from Bundle of Holding feels like one of those calls: a limited‑time doorway into Monte Cook Games’ folk‑horror RPG. This bundle hands you a world that feels haunted and hungry

As usual, the bundle is broken down into a couple of tiers. The first tier costs $7.95 and gets you the core items you need to get started:

  • Core Rulebook: The 418‑page heart of the game: setting lore, character creation, rules, Appalachian history, and the full cosmology of the Old Gods.
  • Player’s Guide: A streamlined, player‑facing version of the essentials: character options, rules summaries, and setting basics without GM secrets.
  • Railroad Guide: A deep dive into the region’s rail lines, unions, conflicts, and supernatural entanglements; perfect for campaign arcs built around travel, labour, and industry.

The second tier expands on this with useful additional content. This upgrade is priced on a threshold that, at the time of writing, is sitting at $16.96. For this sum, you will get everything from the first tier, plus the following additional items:

  • Dig Your Own Grave: Expanded character options: new abilities, backgrounds, and thematic hooks that lean into the game’s grim, generational flavour.
  • Best Leave Them Ghosts Alone: A ready‑to‑run adventure steeped in Appalachian hauntings and community tensions.
  • Resource Deck: Quick‑reference cards for abilities, items, and GM tools to keep the table flowing.
  • XP Deck: Advancement and reward cards that reinforce the game’s tone and pacing.
  • GM Screen: A digital version of the reference screen: rules summaries, tables, and evocative art to set the mood.

Old Gods of Appalachia is a game built on a few ideas; namely those of memory, land, and the weight of history. It’s got that lovely cosmic horror, blended with fantastic folk horror that is firmly rooted in place and people. The bundle mirrors that ethos: it’s curated, intentional, and complete without feeling bloated.
