Another RPG bundle - Kobold Guides
Dec. 20th, 2023 06:21 pmThis is a new collection of multi-author generic guides for games designers from Kobold Press.
( Kobold Guides )
While these books are system-free they are aimed at fantasy game designers primarily, with other genres getting little attention. While this isn't actually a genre that interests me much, there turns out to be some fun stuff in them - for example, there's a small rant about teleportation in the Magic book that is worth reading for other genres, and the history of the Giant Space Hamster in Worldbuilding Vol 2 is great fun.
Although this bundle is new and seems to be very cheap for what you get, a lot of it has appeared as parts of previous bundles, and I STRONGLY recommend checking what you already own before committing to buy - for example, someone who bought the previous bundles, isn't interested in board games and only uses the "official" monsters for a system might only want to get the new Worldbuilding book, which would be cheaper on its own.
