I’m a John Wick fan. He’s written some of my favorite games (Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Orkworld) and I’m a big fan of his Play Dirty vidcasts. Some of you may know he just released a new game, Houses of the Blooded. I’ve been following the game’s development because it really hit the sweet spot for me: noble houses, intrigue, modified FATE system, domain rules. Stuff that you know I love if you’ve been following the Campaign Recaps of KTNG at all.
Well, John’s done something wild. For an unspecified limited time, he’s selling HotB PDFs for $5. It’s 438 pages. As I have yet to really dig into the book myself, I can’t tell you much about the game beyond what I learned by watching development, but I can tell you that it’s easily worth $5 for the GMing advice that it contains alone, never mind the game.
I like to share good deals and good games. This seems to be both. Go look into it.
