Financially it's tough all over, and I'm sure some of you guys may find it a bit harder to explain away that new $45.00 RPG purchase to the wife. Well the Evil DM is here to lend a hand. A little research can put a lot of gaming goodness on your table for free (and no, I'm not talking about pirated PDF's).Here are a couple of recent offerings that have popped up. Now these aren't "Preview" or "Light" versions of games. They are complete, 100% playable, and fully supported efforts.
Mazes and Minotaurs is a well supported game of adventure in the "Age of Heroes" They have just recently released the third issue of Minotaur, a quarterly pdf that supports Mazes and Minotaurs with a bunch of new fun stuff.
Atomic Sock Monkey Press has just released a new core rules set for their popular PDQ system. it's called PDQ Sharp and is available for free at RPGNow.
Now if your hankering for a little "Gamma World" / Thundarr action, might I suggest Goblinoid Games- Mutant Future.
From Rob Lang's wonderful Free RPG Blog comes word of yet another game system -or "YAGS". Rob gave it the once over and posted a positive review, so you might want to take a look at it as well.
So there you go. Three to get you started. Now go roll some dice!
Nicely done, sir.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I'm going to be really, really careful in what I ask for for Christmas. Fortunately, most of the games/products I want to try out are currently free (Pathfinder, PDQ), owned (Castles & Crusades, Epic, Two-Fisted Tales), or super-cheap (Fight On!)
Very tempting.
ReplyDeletethanks Zachary.
ReplyDeleteGo for it Charles. the only cost is the time it takes to download them. You might even like one enough to print it up.
