Between Humble Bundle and Bundle of Holding, it is by no means been cheaper to construct up a very monumental library of books for Dungeons & Dragons and different tabletop RPGs. The most recent truckload of PDFs on provide for a pittance features a unfold of D&D 5e adventures and dietary supplements by Goodman Video games, with 35 books plus VTT goodies obtainable for simply $18 / £13.66.
Goodman Video games is most well-known for the superb Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and its many adventures, which hark again to the outdated days of D&D. Although I have never performed these D&D 5e adventures of theirs, I’ve very a lot loved their work with DCC—primarily based on the previews, these books appear to hold over the identical charmingly old style art work, helpful maps, creatively unusual concepts, and complex dungeon design, so I really feel fairly comfy predicting they will be good enjoyable.
I feel that suggestion goes double for those who’re searching for adventures and settings with a really completely different really feel to Wizards of the Coast’s first-party choices. Count on much less clear, trendy fantasy, and extra gonzo sword and sorcery.
As ever there are a number of completely different tiers obtainable. Unusually, the highest tier at $30 / £22.77 really features a bodily guide—the softcover of Crypt of the Satan Lich—on prime of all of the PDFs, although watch out of the delivery prices, that are a bit extra hidden on the web page than I might like. If you happen to’re within the US, add one other $13. If you happen to’re outdoors the US… effectively, might God have mercy in your soul—estimates like $55 to Canada or $70 for UK & EU are fairly untenable for one guide.
I might positively advocate simply sticking with the purely digital tiers, for max financial savings. The $18 / £13.66 tier is a superb deal, getting you every little thing besides the bodily guide—it will be a protracted outdated time earlier than you get by way of all these adventures. The $10 / £7.59 tier will get you 17 adventures complete (plus a coupon for an additional order from Goodman Video games)—they do appear to be the older ones on provide however that is nonetheless very low cost for what you are getting.
After which the most cost effective tier will get you 4 adventures for simply $1 / £0.75, which is principally shut sufficient to free that it is in all probability value a punt for those who’ve any curiosity in any respect in filling out your assortment.
These books have all been written with the 2014 model of D&D 5e in thoughts—with the brand new model of the sport out this 12 months, they are going to be a bit of bit outdated. However a part of the objective of the brand new D&D core books is to make sure as a lot backwards compatibility as doable, so the vast majority of the content material ought to nonetheless work, and something that does conflict ought to be simply fixable. So I would not let that maintain you again for those who like what you see right here.
There you go, that is one other few campaigns sorted. See you once more subsequent time somebody as soon as once more blows the TTRPG bundle horn and summons me from my dank lair, whereby I dream upon an unlimited, glittering hoard of PDFs I have never learn but.
