World of Darkness! I'm always glad to see WoD bundles appear, whether on Humble Bundle, Bundle of Holding or wherever. If nothing else, they help to raise awareness of a great series of games. This bundle, featuring titles from the Vampire and Werewolf game lines, focuses on the world of the World of Darkness, with each book… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Vampires & Werewolves (World of Darkness)
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(s) of Holding: Delta Green and Operations
There's an interesting bundle available just now from Humble Bundle. It's a set of resources for making your own card game.

As per usual,… Continue reading Humble Bundle: Make Your Card Game!

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.
