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.

yeah splurge for that $1 and 2 cents

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!

I'm proud of you Dave

I'll be able to fall asleep tonight now. Thanks!

I may need to start plnning on how to introduce nunchaku into my next (or maybe current?) game.

that should be fun, and interesting in how you do implement nunchaku

I've got all the 1e books in hardcover. I've been looking for an Oriental Adventures game for years!

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.

That, but it also helps to have any awesome wife. Amiright?

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. 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 thought the same about my self and running a Al-Qadim game but here I am running one. Dave you never know what you might run one day.

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.

You know it.

Actually, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to run next... and it's not oriental adventures.
