Deal of the Day - Savage Worlds Adventure Edition

While I'm not a frequent player of Savage Worlds, it's a solid, flexible system that should be in every RPG player's (and GM's) collection, IMHO. Well, today's Deal of the Day is Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. Usually $9.99 in PDF, until Christmas morning, SWADE is on sale for $3. That is NOT a typo ;)

Create your own setting, convert an existing one, or pick up one of our amazing settings like Deadlands, Rippers, or 50 Fathoms. The rules give players plenty of depth to create their characters and keep bookkeeping to a minimum for the Game Master. If you’re looking for a game that’s fast and easy to set up, run, and play, Savage Worlds is for you!

Savage Worlds handles pulp action, gritty noir, supers, hard scifi, space opera, horror, and anything you can imagine! 

Savage Worlds Adventure Edition is the latest version of Savage Worlds. It does not, however, invalidate prior printings of the rules, which you can continue to enjoy.

Deal of the Day - Formoria: The Dark Age (Shadowdark Setting)

I'm a sucker for RPG settings. Those who lean dark? Even better! It means conflict is baked into the setting, the engine that drives campaigns. Formoria: The Dark Age is written for Shadowdark, but should be easy enough to convert to the OSR system of your choice, likely on the fly.  Formoria is Today's Deal of the Day and is priced at $9.50 in PDF until tomorrow morning (the usual price is $ 29). 

Formoria: The Dark Age is a Platinum Best Seller on DTRPG.

Rune & Relic Press invites you to the Lands of Formoria; a campaign setting in the world of Asterra with a rich history that has been developed through decades of game play. This guide offers a detailed milieu in which to place your adventures. It has a particular flavor, detailed locations, cultures, religions, politics, npc’s, and history. Although this book was written for use with Shadowdark the RPG. Most of the content here is system agnostic  and entirely usable in other systems. 

The setting of Formoria echoes 4th century dark ages Europe in flavor and theme. It lies on the northern fringes of “civilization” having been settled and colonized by civilized peoples from the Katalian Empire roughly 150 years ago. The world of Asterra was developed and written by Bryan O'Doherty over the span of two decades of actual game-play. The history of heroes and great deeds, magical items and artifacts and the current state of cultures, kingdoms and empires is the result of actual at-the-table gameplay since '99.

OSR Christmas 2025 - The Festivities Begin Wed, Dec 17!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas - OSR Christmas, that is!

OSR Santa has been slow at getting things organized - again - this year. It's simply incredible how many distractions the world throws at you during December.

The year's BIG GIFT is again from the guys at Emperors Choice are gifting a copy of Portal to Adventure in its protective case from their recent Kickstarter.

This is a biggie - so we are going to remind folks REPEATEDLY, and set up a special email where folks can enter to be gifted - I think we'll leave that up for a few weeks so everyone gets a chance to enter.

We also have dice, books, DTRPG Gift Certs, and a few other things in the works to be gifted.

If you are a publisher, big or small, and want to get involved with OSR Christmas, we are looking for physical and digital gifts: Email tenkarsDOTtavern at that Gmail thing. Put OSR Christmas in the subject if you have gifts to donate!

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
