DriveThruRGP: An OSR Extravaganza!

#1 Post by dmw71 »

Just received this via the DriveThruRPG newsletter, which I thought worth of sharing:

DriveThruRGP: An OSR Extravaganza!

An OSR Extravaganza!
Hi friends,

We launched a big new sale this week across DriveThruRPG, RPGnow, and DM's Guild. This sale features some fantastic deals from Wizards of the Coast, plus a ton of other Old-School Revival/Renaissance (OSR) publishers.

In addition to listing over 1,300 OSR titles at 15% off, the OSR Extravaganza features three great bundles for Dungeons & Dragons, all at 80% or more off the total bundle value.

Basic D&D — Known World Megabundle (BECMI)

1st ed. AD&D — AD&D Core Megabundle (1e)

2nd ed. AD&D — Planescape Megabundle (2e)

For those interested in AD&D-retro gaming, including OSRIC or other retro-clone systems, award-winning publisher Expeditious Retreat Press is also offering The OSR(IC) Extravaganza Bundle. Another 80% off deal, this bundle includes eight full adventures, spanning 1st-15th level.

The OSR Extravaganza is here only for a couple of weeks, so be sure to take a look before it's gone!

Ha! I own everything in the bundle except one title (that I didn't know existed).

Might be time to splurge and complete the collection. :lol:

Done. I'm not sure if I'll ever use Oriental Adventures, but, as a DM, you should be prepared, right?

I also picked up the OSRIC collection (even though there was only one low-level adventure in the lot). While it should be, there's no guarantee my shopping has come to an end. ;)

Hide the credit card bills from the missus!
Wooee :)

My wife always stays nicely quiet when her friends talk about their husbands and gambling, or fixing up cars, or buying lots of collection-type things. I pretty much own all I need for my hobby. :)

Good times!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

I've got all the 1e books in hardcover. I've been looking for an Oriental Adventures game for years!
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

I don't own anything in hardcover; everything I own is in PDF (which is great for portability, but I'm starting to long for actual, physical books).

I'm definitely not the one to run an oriental game, but one would be interesting to follow.

Oh heck yeah. :)
But it's still nice to know she can't really complain about my occasional beer or even more rare cigar - not having expensive vices keeps things happy in the home. :D The only thing I really getting trouble for is hurting myself playing extreme tag in the park with my four daughters. Currently I've spent the last four days hobbling around like a 100 year old!

Though she did try to buy me a D&D tshirt in one of the kooky stores (Lunchbox or something? It's an offshoot of Hot Topic) my girls love to shop in. The conversation was polite and quiet until she got loud "what do you mean it's not you're edition" - everyone in the small store looked, I chuckled, we didn't buy the shirt. ;)

But an awesome wife and awesome daughters make a man extremely happy! Amiright Mr. 71? ;)

I had a rough week injury-wise myself, so when I paraphrased what you said to T, she just sighed and said, sarcastically, of course, that she couldn't relate.
