Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
Well, this is well-timed. This week's return of the Game of Thrones TV show has been accompanied by a Bundle of Holding featuring the A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying Game (SIFRPG) from Green Ronin. The bundle contains most of the product line and sets you up for roleplaying in Westeros. There's a wealth… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: A Song of Ice and Fire
I've been reading the newer Traveller books recently, the 2nd of the Mongoose editions. My copy of the Vehicle manager arrived today, actually. Really wanting to run a campaign based on a series of John Scalzi novels. With that in mind, this latest Bundle of Holding grabbed my attention, consisting as it does of a… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Traveller (D20)
Shadowrun! As I mentioned in this week's 5 on Friday, I've not played any Cyberpunk roleplaying games before, but I'd quite like to. Shadowrun is the obvious game in this genre. There are a fair few simpler games that really appeal to me, based on the Apocalypse engine, FATE or other systems, but this is… Continue reading Bundle(s) of Holding: Shadowrun (5E)
You know, I've never really been that big on superheroes. Oh, sure, I'll watch a new Marvel or DC movie, even though I've gotten a bit bored of them, and I'll occasionally try a new comic book. That said, they're not really my thing. I can get into a short run of comics, but sustaining… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Mutants & Masterminds Earth-Prime
I like post-apocalyptic settings. One of the games I really want to play this year is Mutant: Year Zero, which is very much a post-apocalyptic game in the vein of Fallout. Fragged Empire is another post-apocalyptic setting. I initially saw the book in a Forbidden Planet in London and I had a flip through. It… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Fragged
I love it when Bundle of Holding do their Indie bundles. They always manage to find fun, eclectic mixes of fun, unique, little games. This latest offering is no exception, presenting a set of six games. I hadn't heard of any of them before, so it's cool to have that wee bit of discovery, y'know?… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Indie Cornucopia 6
This is an odd one. So, there were a few Warhammer 40,000 RPGs released by FFG over the years of their license with Games Workshop. They were all the same system, really, but each with a different focus. Deathwatch is the game that focuses on the Space Marines, the iconic... icon of the 41st millennium. … Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Deathwatch²
We've made it clear before just how much we love Modiphius. They just consistently put out quality and, given the sheer range of great games they offer, it's hard to believe that the company is only six years old. Anyway, that's enough gushing for now. There's a bundle up just now on Bundle of Holding… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Mutant: Year Zero
Bundle of holding have a couple of offers up just now for Ars Magica, the magical fantasy RPG from Atlas Games. It was originally published by Lion Rampant and then by my beloved White Wolf. Indeed, it was created by Mark Rein-Hagen, who also created Vampire: The Masquerade and, with it, the World of Darkness. … Continue reading Bundle(s) of Holding: Ars Magica 5th Ed.
Most of the Cthulhu mythos material out there is set during or often before the early 20th century. In the past few years, we've seen some sources bring this mythos into the modern day. My favourite of these updates is The Laundry Files series by Charles Stross, but another interesting one is the Delta Green… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Delta Green
