This Fat Goblin Planners and Guides offer presents RPG campaign aids from Fat Goblin Games. Create, organize, and amplify your play sessions with these system-free digital journals, map sheets, and record books that help you develop settings, adversaries, scenarios, and even star systems.
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. (By publisher request, the DriveThruRPG versions of these files are inobtrusively watermarked.)
Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to this Fat Goblin offer's pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.
The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$103.50. Customers who pay just US$7.95 get all fourteen titles in our Planner Collection (retail value $55) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Five campaign planners: Cartographer's Companion (retail $6), DIY Monster Manual (retail $2), Gamemaster's Star Log (retail $3), Pocket Campaign Planner (retail $2), and Starmaster's Campaign Journal (retail $3)
- Four gamemaster journals (all previously in the Worldbuilder's Toolkit 4, November 2016): Allies and Adversaries Journal (retail $6), Gamemaster's Adventure Planner (retail $5), Monster Memoir (retail $6), and Worldbuilding Journal (retail $7)
- Three class-oriented journals and record books (retail $3 each) for D&D Fifth Edition characters: 5th Edition Cleric's Chronicle, Fighter's Chronicle, and Wizard's Chronicle
- The Roleplayer's Arcane Spellbook and Roleplayer's Divine Prayerbook (retail $3 each)
Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $17.95 to start, also get our entire Guide Collection with fourteen more titles worth an additional $48.50 that add tons of imaginative magical items, historical lore, and tasty snacks:
- Magical Beers, Tankards, & Other Inebrious Items (retail price $10.50), Trusty Tavern Tome (retail $5), and Trusty Tavern Menus (retail $10)
- Six books in the "Knowledge Check" series that present historical subjects in gameable new ways: Codes & Cyphers (retail $3), Cooking With Class (retail $3), 9 Funerary Rites (retail $3), Last Rites (retail $3), The Roleplayer's Leechbook (retail $3), and Thieves' Cant Dictionary (retail $3)
- Five sets of Tavern Menus (retail $1 each) that bring variety to campaigns accustomed to "bread and ale": Cooking With Class - Fantasy Sample Pack, Dwarven Dinner, Fantasy Food and Drink, Pirate Food & Spirits, and Wild West Saloons
This probably isn't something I need personally, I've been designing game worlds for many years and have my own systems for doing it, but there is some interesting material in the Guide Collection that could be handy - for example, Cooking With Class has info on the food technology and foodstuffs available in different periods, which is well worth a look if you're planning to send adventurers off into the wilderness with limited supplies. I'm not convinced that I would have necessarily gone looking for it if it hadn't been in this offer, since there are lots of other sources such as the SCA, but getting it all in one book is useful.
Overall my feeling on this one is that it's probably not worth getting all of it unless you're really struggling to develop a setting - I'd be more inclined to pick and choose one or two items that interest me.
