C-Virus Freebies Amalgamated Thread

Best Selling RPGs - Available Now @ DriveThruRPG.com
If we are including non-free, did anyone mention that Trinity (and maybe Scion, not sure whether those are the original prices) are 50% off, too?
 
This is like the third going-out-of-business sale they've had for the ME stuff. I thought they were losing the license a month ago, actually. I guess they still have some PDFs lying around in the warehouse.
The good news is that if you've bought any of them from DriveThru before, the price is deducted from the cost of the bundle. Turns out I'm only missing three of the One Ring ones, so for me that bundle is like $30.

In other news, Osprey is giving away the Frostgrave corebook, along with a couple of supplements geared towards quarantine solo or co-op play. They're also doing weekly giveaways of some of their non-RPG books over the next month or so.
 
Ooh, is there some way to get a reminder for these?
Not that I can see, although there's probably a newsletter you can sign up for in the registration or checkout process (I reflexively unsubscribe to those).
 
Lots of Shadow of the Demon Lord goodies half-price at drivthru including the core rulebook, terrible beauty, and the first companion.
 
This isn't free but the discount is as steep as I've ever seen. Check out Humble's massive COVID bundle...$30 for truckloads of content. Too bad I already own a lot of these.
 
Looks like the Starfinder setting is the only ttrpg thing, right? Is it any good for non-Starfinder use?

Under the circumstances the books on coping and conversation could be good.
 
Is it any good for non-Starfinder use?
Not a clue - I didn't even notice there was any TTRPG content! I posted this because I observed that a lot of folks here seem to enjoy video games.
 
Exalted is up to 70% off on drivethru. Never looked at a single exalted book, but the 3rd edition core rulebook is only £6, so it's silly not to give it a look.

I've got the core, but I should pay some attention to the DB book, maybe... :grin:
 
If only I'd waited until the arrival of an avoidable pandemic
If it makes you feel better, I chose to not pick the DB book. It's on sale, but it's not marked down nearly enough for something I'm unlikely to ever use as-written.

I have that as well, i didn't get the Realm book though.
 
Free Nine Inch Nails albums?

 
I will keep saying to the day I die, I have never met a system that more actively hates a GM than Exalted did. The amount of work it forces onto the GM is frankly amazing.

7th Sea second edition is pretty rough on the GM in an editorial sense. All of the advice is about saying no. The setting is wonderful, but the system still doesn’t feel refined to me, and a lot of the GMing advice is...not great.

That's John Wick. He has unconventional tastes.

Any good? After 14 I found NiN too melodramatic although I stilll like the crazy remix EPs.
 
That's an amazingly polite way of putting it...
It's more polite than I would normally be about him. But ranting about has been game designers whontotslly misunderstood what his kickstarter backers actually wanted seems like taking cheap shots.

Haven't listened to it myself.

But speaking of free stuff, Big Finish are giving away War Doctor audios.

This is one my favorites examples of this from 2nd edition:

He often writes himself little get-out-of-jail-free cards like this, absolving himself of any responsibility for even-handed design while subtly looking down his nose at the players and GMs. Notice that, of course, this is the edition where he introduced a new sorcery that allows the player to destroy entire towns with minimum effort and then monopolize the spotlight for numerous sessions afterwards as a supposedly "balancing" factor:

Congratulations, your swashbuckling system provides a starting character with an atom bomb. Oh, and don't forget it's up the GM to twist his setting and plot into a pretzel trying to play out the cost of all these complex demon schemes.

The race to bring back the queen's jewels sure looks like a petty concern in the face of all this, that's for sure!

I always wanted a Davy Crockett. :tongue: :clown:
 
Wizards of the Coast is doing a freebie give away this week. Today's giveaway includes the Starter Set on Roll20 for free. I just purchased it on Roll20 on April 1st, guess it was an April Fool's joke on me. lol

I find John Wick adorable. I'd never actually listen to him (if you players spend all their points on an advantage make sure it destroys them! Murder all their families!) but I find him entertaining.

I used to. Then it got tedious. Especially when I read Play Dirty. And tried some advice that sounded reasonable, only for it to really annoy people.
