ffutures | And yet another bundle

This is a short term offer, only available until Monday evening, of the SF RPG Bulldogs! from Gallileo Games. Not sure why we're getting three of these offers in one week but I'm not complaining. Bits of it have been in previous offers for the FATE system, this one is the complete system:

This offer launched Friday, March 25, and runs for just four days through 11PM Eastern US time (GMT -4) Monday, March 28.

For just four days, this new Bulldogs Quick Deal presents Bulldogs!, the Galileo Games space opera RPG that kicks ass. Indentured to TransGalaxy PGC, you and your fellow hapless scoundrels deliver high-risk cargo across the Frontier Zone, from the Devalkamanchan Republic to the pleasure satellite of Apollonia. Can you avoid border crossings, weapons regulations, the Fallon Syndicate, and Squishy's Scrap Yard long enough reach the end of your contract, or will you be another casualty of the space-lanes?

Tired of your planet-bound life? Maybe you owe money to the wrong people, or maybe the gun just somehow went off. When you urgently need of a change of scenery, join the Class D Shipping Division at TransGalaxy PanGalactic Corporation, the section for difficult and hazardous cargo -- home of the desperate, the unqualified, and the just plain stupid. In Class D they don't care about your resume, references, arrest record, or psychological profile -- if you've got a pulse, they've got your ship. Sign a simple five-year contract and leave all your troubles behind. Haul volatile and hazardous cargo to the most dangerous places in the galaxy: planets where the very air is a corrosive acid -- where the locals might cut your throat and turn you into a nice steak -- where petty warlords engage in constant running gun battles and you're just as likely to catch a blaster shot in the skull as get a signed delivery manifest. Welcome to the Bulldogs!

This new Quick Deal presents .PDFs of the complete standalone Bulldogs! rulebook in its 2016 Fate Core version (previously in our November 2018 Bundle of Fate 4) and its entire support line for an unbeatable bargain price -- including Heart of the Fury, a neglected 262-page campaign by acclaimed designer Gareth Hanrahan (The Dracula Dossier, Pirates of Drinax, The Darkening of Mirkwood, Eyes of the Stone Thief). Heart of the Fury is an extended twelve-scenario Bulldogs campaign that sends the bulldogs to investigate a strange new group, the Fury, that tries to capture the Frontier Zone. Ancient mysteries, wide-ranging war across the Zone, and deadly threats from the great Empires lead to a galaxy-shaking climax for this masterful yet unjustly overlooked campaign.

We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices.

Bulldogs roleplaying campaign Heart of the Fury by Gareth Hanrahan The total retail value of the titles in this Bulldogs Quick Deal is US$50. Customers who pay just US$7.95 get all six titles in our Bulldogs Collection (retail value $50) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Bulldogs! Fate Core Edition (retail price $10), Red Star (retail $5), Heart of the Fury (retail $10), People of the Zone (retail $7.50), Ports of Call: Galactic Central Point (retail $7.50), and Ports of Call: The Frontier Zone (retail price $10), plus several convention scenarios.

This looks like a fun take on the space trading / adventure genre, as often seen in games such as Traveller and computer games such as Elite / Oolite. It uses the FATE system which generally works reasonably well, and I think it's worth a look even if you end up using the scenarios and/or setting with other rules. But as usual I should point out that I'm not paying for this stuff, if you are your opinion may differ.
