Sale: DriveThruRPG Christmas in July Sale II
Two weeks ago I shared twelve recommendations for the DriveThruRPG July sale. “SebaTauGonzalez” on reddit asked for rules-specific recommendations:
The Sale guide is great, thanks! Do you know of something similar but for core rules? Current or past.
I'm repeating my answer to him below. I assumed they are already familiar with all the major retroclones and original games, therefore I focused on a bit more “exotic” recommendations:
- The Majestic Fantasy RPG. An OD&D game based on Swords & Wizardry Core. Interesting mix of many different things based on several decades of play.
- Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne. The original was built on OD&D chasis. I don't run it as-is, but rather use it for inspiration (e.g., early skill system, interesting take on fighters, etc).
- Seven Voyages of Zylarthen. Basically a heavily house ruled OD&D with few interesting twists.
- Adventures Dark and Deep Core Rulebook & Bestiary. An alternative imagining of what AD&D 2E might have been if Gary remained in control. A lot of classic, but good stuff.
- Against the Darkmaster Core Rules. Retroclone of Middle-Earth Role Playing game. Good if you are looking for a crunchier game.
The sale ends in a day and a half (end of July).
As always, spend responsibly.
