Bundle of Holding Thread

[MoonHunter]

Yes, that would be a good bundle, but I think I own everything of that line.

Hi, Raleel and spittingimage ! I haven't got a Bundle of Holding problem today, only got ~40 bundles... I'm just here because your admissions make me feel better!


Well, that, and because I might otherwise miss a bundle I'd have liked...


Also, Allen Varney - have you considered a d00 Lite bundle? Just a random thought as I'm preparing to run one of their games.

In January 2016 I presented Covert Ops and White Lies in an espionage-themed offer, but since then I haven't done anything with d00 Lite. In general my customers seem more interested in offers featuring one specific game line, rather than a system-based assortment. I'd be interested in a BareBones Fantasy offer.

Someone blood promised me Harn BoH... WHERE IS IT!!!!!!!!

None of the Harn publishers were interested, sorry.

None of the Harn publishers were interested, sorry.

I was just kidding. Joke from another thread.

I have a lot of both- but not enough that purchasing them wouldn't be worth it. So I guess I'm buying more!

Of that lot I currently only have a POD copy of Martial Arts so this is a huge amount of goodies at a very attractive price for me.

There's an interesting new Quick Deal for a bunch of Mystical Throne Guides to various historical topics. Anybody know if they're any good?

I know one of them is really good. So I assume the rest are at least good. So dang. Doing it now before I talk myself out of them.

For 10 bucks, I just grabbed it. They look decent, not very long, but a nice overview of a bunch of historical settings.

I grabbed them too when I got the BoH email. I like this kind of stuff and luckily there is little overlap with periods I've already collected a lot of material for.

I bought some of these a few years ago when they were called the 'Ultimate Guides'. It's the same line, as they were published by Mystical Throne Entertainment.
I have Ultimate Three Kingdoms, Ultimate Roman Legions, and Ultimate Mongol Empire, all for BRP Legend.

They are not really big books, the page count varies but it's typically between 50 pages to 80 pages, so they aren't too lightweight either.
Presentation does feel very indie-publisher, it is definately nothing flash, and these days even indie-publishers often present a bit better (these were published about a decade ago). However the content is good, and there is enough there to make a trpg session feel very historical.
They are decent value in this current deal, given that you are getting eleven books for $10 USD - that's $1 USD per book, plus a freebie!

The Legend stats are pretty close to Mythras, and a quick convert for other BRP games. I think this deal says these versions also have Savage Worlds stats.
They have good setting content anyway, so they are pretty useful resources for any system for that price.

You persuaded me already, I just have to find my debit card!

 

[A Fiery Flying Roll]

While we're doing fantasy BoH's, another LARP bundle would be very welcome. (Both the American Freeforms and the Freeform Games bundles were great).

I accept that trying to get anything done with multiple LARP publishers is going to be a herding cats situation.

I believe that, across ten years, you're the first Bundle customer who has expressed a desire for more freeform games.

Hah, I can imagine. Made extra complicated by the fact that the Brits, the Nordics and the Americans all use "freeform" to mean different things. (That said, to be fair, I'm not sure a "parlor LARP" bundle would appeal to many people other than me either).

I just want to chime in on this and say that I agree with everything said here. If you have any interest in those periods, pick it up. The bundle is worth the price.

As an aside, my friends and I have done some stuff for MTE and found that the studio treats (or treated) its freelancers very well. My buddy Jim did this cover - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/98114/Savage-Insider-Issue-3-What-Lurks-in-the-Shadows

It is a fully original, full page digital painting. He was just starting out and had no idea how to price his work, so he gave a very low price, thinking that his work wasn't worth a lot since he didn't have a name in the industry. He was told by the publisher that it was too low and that he was unwilling to pay for the work that Jim turned in at his asking price, saying the work was worth far more, and significantly bumped up the pay.

TL;DR - Buy it. It's worth it. Support the publisher.

Put me down as at least one other person into the idea of a freeform larp BoH. Two sales at least!
