There's a Humble Bundle up at the moment for Dark Heresy, a roleplaying game based on Warhammer 40,000 and the first of a series of such games that were developed under license by Fantasy Flight Games. This bundle has a huge amount of material across two editions of the game and represents fantastic value. One… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Dark Heresy
There are two bundles up on Bundle of Holding that feature the fifth edition of Ars Magica, the magical fantasy RPG from Atlas Games. It was originally published long ago by Lion Rampant and then by my beloved White Wolf (may it rest in peace). It was actually created by Mark Rein-Hagen, who also created… Continue reading Bundle(s) of Holding: ARM5 World of Magic
Between the books and resources from Wizards of the Coast and the huge amount of adventures and supplementary resources created by third-party companies and enthusiastic homebrewers, there is a lot of content out there for the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. This bundle captures some of that content, bringing in a ton of monsters,… Continue reading Humble Bundle: 5E Beast of a Bundle
There are certain games for which I am truly an evangelist. Paranoia is definitely one of those games. It's not the game I'd choose to play every week, but it's such a great experience when you do get to break it out. It gives great opportunities for one-shot silliness. I loved the 2nd edition of… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Paranoia (The New One)
I write about a lot of Bundles of Holding on this blog. These are bundles of RPG books, distributed as part of a deal. They're great. I don't write as often about Humble Bundles. These bundles are mostly focused on video games, but they have branched out to include software, music and books and comics. … Continue reading Humble Bundle: 3D Printable Dungeons & Cities
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
