Tabletop and Boardgame Bundle Thread

Not exactly a bundle, but there's a kickstarter for pop up terrain for pnp. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2087444096/pop-up-miniature-terrain-kit

I backed their previous gnome miniatures ks and they were very late in delivering, but they did deliver and the quality was very high.

There's also the DriveThruRPG 10th Anniversary bundles one and two.

Each bundle is $10 and each is definitely worth it if you don't already have the included rulebooks. Hilights include: Traveller 2300AD, Wild Talents 2e, Buffy the RPG, Primeval the RPG, and Wraith The Oblivion.

For the Pathfinder enthusiasts: http://bundleofholding.com/index/current

A massive boatload of character options / class / race stuff from Kobold Press. Something like 18 PDFs if you beat the threshold. It sure is tempting but I'm tending more toward old-school lately so I might skip it.

Isn't PF old-school enough?

 

[Excidium]

Isn't PF old-school enough?

Yeah, old school like Oblivion

It's a 10 year old game using a 14 year old system that very recognisably grew out of a 25 year old system. I realise it's not Chainmail, but as far as I'm concerned Pathfinder is plenty old-school.

The previously run Stars Without Number bundle is being re-run now: http://bundleofholding.com/index/current

This is an OSR sci-fi game based roughly on old-school D&D game mechanics, with a lot of additions to support the sci-fi genre. Pretty cool stuff and just the core book itself is a nice meaty 250+ pages. I have a feeling they'll be adding the recently released Dead Names book to this bundle.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Yeah, SWN is good..

It's an 8-year old game using a 12 year old engine that very recognizably grew out of a 20 year old series. I realise it's not Ultima.

There is an Ars Magica 5th edition bundle that just went up: http://bundleofholding.com/index/current

I have no experience with this game, just passing the info along.

I love this game the way Roguey loves Sawyer.
It's well worth a try but, unfortunately, not a game that you can easily just "try out"...

 

[agris]

Could someone recommend a monocle'd review of Ars Magica? I've heard it mentioned in a positive manner a few times around here, but I don't have a go-to PnP game reviewer or site.

 

[clemens]

Don't know of any really good english reviews, but there are a couple on rpg.net :

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15020.phtml
http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10968.phtml

and the wikipedia article is a decent presentation ot he game (5th ed) :

also :

the "fanmade" (some of the main contributors are authors of the game) wiki.

 

[Alchemist]

Monte Cook's Ptolus city sourcebook and a bunch more of his 3E books are in a bundle: http://bundleofholding.com/index/current

The minimum price is quite high - not sure how good of a deal this is, but it might interest some.

 

[Alchemist]

I just picked up the new Bundle of Holding - another set of world-building / campaign creation resource books: http://bundleofholding.com/index/current

I've heard good things about many of these and it's a lot of in-depth material.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Bundle of Holding has a number of good deals now, most notably Paranoia and Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition.

They also have some books from the King Arthur Pendragon collection, which I've heard was an enjoyable series, though I've never owned the books myself.

 

[tuluse]

I'm always really intrigued by these (and I've bought 3 of them), but really I just can't work reading PDFs into my routine. They're way less convenient than a .epub (or .mobi) or reading for enjoyment, and way worse than a real book for playing.

Of course I haven't played pnp in over a year now.

Well shit, now I'm sad.

Well not bad I guess but I cannot play with pdfs, I need teh real books

 

[Alchemist]

Heh... I was just about to come here and post what LESS T_T did. Well done sir!

This bundle is an amazing resource, even if just to mine ideas for other versions of D&D. I don't even play Pathfinder much any more but I'll probably get it.

You aren't helpless. Take them to a local printer and have them printed in B&W and spiral bound.

Better yet, upload them to Lulu.com as a "private" book add the cover art of your choice and get a perfect bound or hardcover printed up for cost.

I made a couple of soft-cover DCC RPG "player's guide" type books this way that only cost something like $10 a piece.
