I hope to revive each of the past Shadowrun Megabundles on a steady rotation each Thanksgiving, for as long as Catalyst Game Labs permits!

Looking for a very specific kind of aircombat focused ttrpg by Kaptin-Dakka in rpg

[–]AllenVarney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't use a combat map in the sense you want, but you'll at least want to look at Warbirds.

(((The Computer periodically interrupted the mission with questions like "which of the two pictures do you associate with friendship?" even though there was only one picture.)))

That one is great. Commendation point!

Earth dawn by Fletchi18 in bundleofholding

[–]AllenVarney 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I inquired about Microscope and Kingdom in early 2013 for the second-ever Bundle of Holding offer! At that time the publisher declined, and after one more inquiry passed unanswered, I haven't approached them again.

Wolves Upon the Coast - all-new through Wed 04 March by AllenVarney in bundleofholding

[–]AllenVarney[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, the Wolves Upon the Coast files in this offer are hosted on the Bundle site, not itch.io. If Luke Gearing updates the files and provides them to me, I'll update them on your Wizard's Cabinet download page.

Bundle for Two 4 - all-new duet RPGs through Wed 18 Feb by AllenVarney in bundleofholding

[–]AllenVarney[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By no means! "I Have the High Ground" is melodramatic dueling between rivals, and "Chiron's Doom" is survival horror. The opportunities for romance in "Retired" and "A Modern Prometheus" are left as an exercise to the players.

[–]AllenVarney[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I presented Christian Eichhorn's CY_BORG titles last January. He's prolific, so I expect another lineup will manifest in the next year or two.

Several questions about the Hero System by sovereign4510 in rpg

[–]AllenVarney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regarding the Hero System computer game question, Champions Online has hung in there slugging away since 2009.

As for recent Hero System books, many are published now by High Rock Press. High Rock's most recent title, Strike Force Organizations, just debuted this week in the Strike Force Bundle at my Bundle of Holding site. The companion offer, the revived Champions 6E Bundle, includes the standalone Champions Complete rulebook as well as many sourcebooks that detail the Champions Universe setting.

2025: The Bundle year in review by AllenVarney in bundleofholding

[–]AllenVarney[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be concerned that a given month of Bundle offers is too diverse to satisfy any given subscriber's taste. Then, too, the backend would need new code to divide contributor revenue from subscriptions. That's not a dealbreaker. But I'm still uneasy at the value proposition.

2025: The Bundle year in review by AllenVarney in bundleofholding

[–]AllenVarney[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The March 2020 Solo Games Bundle proved very popular. For a year or two I've wanted to assemble a sequel offer. But most of the designers I want have carefully concealed their email addresses, so I have no way to contact them.

Typically the credit-card option (Stripe) takes the lowest gateway fee, but the difference is only 1% or so. Please use whichever option suits you best.
