D&D Customized Content Creation: From Modules to Modular

Is it Dec. 6, 2017 at 11 a.m. PST already? You’re in luck, roleplaying gamer! While you’re getting ready to stuff your stockings this holiday season you can stuff your digital bookshelf full of a dragon’s hoard worth of awesome books – and help out a charity for doing it!

Bill Webb, co-founder of Frog God Games partnered up with Wolfgang Baur and Kobold Press to create the first ever fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons Humble RPG Book Bundle. The offering is live for two weeks and the clock is already ticking.

The Humble RPG Book Bundle from Frog God Games and Kobold Press offers a chance to get incredible deals on a huge selection of RPG supplements, guides, adventures and more. Humble has raised over $113,000,000 since the first bundle was created in 2010. When you make a purchase through Humble, YOU can choose where the money goes, selecting from any charity registered through the PayPal Giving Fund.

In 2016, FGG raised over $40,000 through their Pathfinder Humble Bundle, with three tiers of bundle choices up to the big one with $417 worth of stuff for $15. 2017 is no different, with absolutely insane savings on RPG books from FGG and Kobold Press. Even if you have some or most of these already, any single one of them is worth the cost by itself. With three tiers of bundle choices you can get up to $375 worth of digital books for $17. Charities selected by FGG and Kobold Press for the RPG Book Bundle are the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society and Charity: Water, a nonprofit providing clean, safe drinking water to developing countries.

For $1 you can get stuff like Southland Heroes and add all kinds of exotic options for players and Dungeon Masters to adventure in unique desert and jungle environments, Quests of Doom Volume I and II with 18 adventures ready to go, The Mother of All Encounter Tables, Deep Magic: Clockwork and more. That’s crazy. Any individual one of those is worth throwing $1 towards.

The items in this bundle look very thoughtful, taking into account all sorts of D&D enthusiasts. Players and DMs will all find something in here to bring to the table.

Even if you just flip through something like Beyond Damage Dice and don’t even use the content, it’ll inspire your imagination for the next time you get together to roll some funny-shaped dice.

Next up, the $8 Humble Bundle gives you even more bang for your buck with a whole lot of adventures like Cat and Mouse and two more volumes in the Quests of Doom series.

If you’re more into creating your own adventures you can populate them with monsters from Fifth Edition Foes and sprinkle in flavor to your campaign setting from the Borderland Provinces Gazetteer.

And the players in those adventures can take advantage of new options like centaur and shadow fey playable races in Midgard Heroes or four new kinds of Deep Magic. You know I love the Deep Magic – especially the Illumination Magic included in this bundle!

The cover to Quests of Doom 2 is enough to win me over. I want to find out about the “weird and terrifying interior of the Spire of Iron and Crystal.” And by find out I mean subject my players to the inevitably deadly danger inside.

With the top tier Humble Bundle I’m starting to suspect FGG and Kobold Press have lost their minds…with generosity! The Tome of Beasts alone is easily worth investing $17 for, and the Book of Lairs that’s sort of a companion piece to it has been put to good use at my gaming table. The special release Chuck’s Dragons gives DMs lots of ideas and tips for making dragons have serious impact in your games and the Bard’s Gate is an urban setting with it’s own unique adventures and colorful details.

Really, any one of these Humble Bundles can provide tons of hours of gameplay and you’re donating to the charity of your choice when you get one so it’s 100 percent win-win.

And just think, with all the extra money you’ll have left over after getting yourself a Humble Bundle, you can check out the Kickstarters that both Frog God Games and Kobold Press have going on right now.

FGG’s Tome of Horrors is already funded and working its way up the ladder of stretch goals. The classic series is at it again with a new volume filled with hundreds of new creatures. There’s a ton of cool add-ons with this Kickstarter campaign like a card deck (I love card accessories for my RPGs) and tabletop tokens.

Kobold Press launched their Creature Codex: 5th Edition Monsters Including Commissions and it reached the goal in about two hours and already hit a stretch goal. I’m curious to see where it’s at in a few hours when this post publishes. Tome of Beasts from these folks continues to be a very popular addition to D&D players’ collections. This time around they’re getting the community more involved by offering 10 backers a chance to help guide the creation of new creatures to appear in the book!

This holiday season, Nerdarchy is more than happy to help share the news on the awesome Frog God Games/Kobold Press Humble Bundle. Giving D&D players the opportunity to add all these great books to their collection and raising money for charity to do it is about as for nerds, by nerds as you can get. Thanks for FGG and Kobold Press for partnering up on this and until next time, stay nerdy!
