Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
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
With Dungeons & Dragons being my most played game of the year, D&D-themed bundles have a habit of grabbing my attention. These bundles tend to be interesting, as they usually consist of lots of odd, little third-party goodies with which to spice up one's game. This latest offering from Humble Bundle definitely fits that profile.… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Dragons, Dungeons, Maps & More
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
There have been a fair few decent tabletop-themed Humble Bundles recently. This latest offering is for a set of video games based on a selection of board and card games. This is a great way to play these games solo without all of the setup and tidying. As is usual for these bundles, the offer… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Digital Tabletop
Cubicle 7 make a handful of interesting games, such as the RPG based on The Laundry Files, the Doctor Who RPG, Victoriana and, relevant to this post, The Lord of the Rings RPG. One of the current offers over at Humble Bundle is for a selection of LOTR RPG books. The bundle gives you loads… Continue reading Humble Bundle: The Lord of the Rings RPG
Most of the bundles we link to come from the fine folk at Bundle of Holding, which are almost always RPG-focused bundles. Today, we have something a little bit different in the form of a bundle themed around game design. Unlike previous game design bundles, this one focuses firmly on tabletop game design. There are… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Game Design & Puzzlecraft Bundle
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
