Another day, another bundle - Advanced Adventures

[ffutures]

Another offering of a "plays like D&D" system for the "old school revival" fantasy genre. About a third were in a previous bundle, the others are new.

This new Advanced Adventures Megabundle presents nearly four dozen short, ready-to-play tabletop roleplaying adventure modules in the long-running Advanced Adventures line from Expeditious Retreat Press. These 43 short scenarios – dungeon crawls inspired by the earliest versions of Dungeons & Dragons – show off the Old School Revival style: tools, not plotlines; rulings, not rules; a gamemaster who doesn't railroad players onto a prearranged script but lets them sink or swim through their own actions. Encounters aren't necessarily "balanced," and outcomes are seldom scripted. Characters who don't use their heads usually wind up losing them.

Designed for the open-license OSRIC system (the "Old School Reference & Index Compilation," a free retroclone of First Edition AD&D), these Advanced Adventures modules adapt easily to any Old School fantasy RPG such as Old-School Essentials, and they fit smoothly in your ongoing campaign to let your player characters ramp from level-1 zeroes to level-10 heroes.

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.)

The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$280. Customers who pay just US$9.95 get all eleven complete titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free ebooks, including the first ten AA modules – from #01: The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom through #10: The Lost Keys of Solitude – and we add the 2009 bestiary Malevolent and Benign I and the free OSRIC rulebook. For a list of all the modules with links to their sales pages on DriveThruRPG, see the first book entry below, "Advanced Adventures #01-10."

Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $34.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with thirty-four more titles worth an additional $210: all 33 remaining Advanced Adventures modules from #11: The Conqueror Worm through #43 The Warrens of Zagash, and hitting many highlights of the AA line including #15: Stonesky Delve, #23: Down the Shadowvein and #24: The Mouth of the Shadowvein, and both White Dragon Run scenarios. (For the list and the DTrpg links, see the fourth book entry below, "Advanced Adventures #11-43.") We also include the 2018 Malevolent and Benign II monster manual.

(Note: In February 2017 we presented an Advanced Adventures Bundle of 15 selected AA modules with a total retail value of $93. All 15 of those modules are also in this offer. This offer's 30 remaining titles, all new to the Bundle of Holding, have a total retail of $187.)
 

As I seem to be saying a lot lately, this is not my preferred style of play, but it's probably worth a look if you like dungeon-bashing adventures.
