Hey all,
Wiggy Wade-Williams, RPG writer and longtime friend of this blog, is in bad shape after suffering *three* strokes this year, and Bundle of Holding has released a Necropolis 2350 bundle to support him.
If you're not familiar with Wiggy's work, he was foundational in the early days of Savage Worlds (including the Savage World of Solomon Kane, which is a bonafide masterpiece in my book), before going on to create Triple Ace Games, where he released Hellfrost and Necropolis 2350 for Savage Worlds, as well as a slew of great games for the Ubiquity System, such as Leagues of Adventure, Leagues of Gothic Horror, and All for One: Regime Diabolique.
He's also spoken very highly of me as a reviewer, citing me as one of his only three reviewers he reads, because of my objectivity in my reviews, and how I "review games for what they are, not what he(I) would like them to be".
He is a ridiculously talented, and prolific, dude, and hopefully he can get back on his feet. His contributions to my gaming, and his vote of confidence in my blogging and reviewing, cannot be understated by me.

TAG @ Ten Sales
In case you hadn't heard, Triple Ace Games turned 10 years old, and they are celebrating with a pair of "Greatest Hits" style bundles for Savage Worlds and Ubiquity.
This may surprise you, but I own more books in the Ubiquity Bundle than I do the Savage Worlds bundle.
I previously reviewed All For One.
The upside is, these bundles are a GREAT deal for the price. The downside is, they are not set up like traditional RPGNow bundles, meaning you don't get a discount for the books you already own, which is an unfortunate decision.
Still a great celebration of a great publisher.

SAVAGE WORLDS BUNDLE
This includes all four main Hellfrost books (Player's Guide, Bestiary, Gazetteer and Land of Fire core rules), the Arcane Lore and Atlas supplements, Necropolis 2350 and Incinerator's Handbook, All For One Savage Worlds version and Sundered Skies. And this is all for $30.
There's some great stuff here. Hellfrost is especially brilliant, as I opined in my reviews, and I'm actually using a lot of Hellfrost stuff in my current Savage Pendragon campaign.

UBIQUITY BUNDLE
The Ubiquity Bundle is also $30 and includes some great stuff, like Leagues of Adventure (plus Plateau of the Ape Men and the Weird Science Compendium), Leagues of Gothic Horror (plus the Ministry of Unusual Affairs, the Guide to Apparitions and the Guide to Mordavia), Leagues of Cthulhu and the Ubiquity version of All For One: Régime Diabolique and Adventure Companion 1.

A Pair of Kickstarters From a Pair of My Favorite Writers
Two of my favorite writers have Kickstarters running right now, so I thought I'd bring them to your attention.
Arthur Lives! 2nd Edition
Powered by Fate Core, Arthur Lives! 2nd Edition is an urban fantasy RPG by Jason "Doctor Comics" Tondro. Jason, who was actually my first (technically only) D&D 5th Edition DM, is a big Arthurian nut, and wrote Arthur Lives! for the True20 system.
Arthur Lives! is an RPG about aspects of the Arthurian legends returning to life via reincarnation in modern times. The interesting hook is that it is only aspects that are reincarnating, meaning that there are multiple "Arthurs", multiple "Lancelots" and so on kicking around.
I read the old first edition years ago, but haven't had a chance to read the Fate Core version yet. You can - sans art and layout, by backing at the $5 level (the full eventual PDF release requires a pledge of $20 or more).
The Kickstarter is a little over 50% funded with 24 days to go.
Leagues of Gothic Horror: Ministry & Mordavia Books and Dice
Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams - whose impressive resume includes Hellfrost, All for One: Regime Diabolique and Leagues of Adventure - is expanding the Leagues of Gothic Horror line with the Guide to the Ministry of Unusual Affairs and the Guide to Mordavia: Land of Horror books.
Leagues of Adventure is a pulpy, globetrotting game, powered by the Ubiquity system. The Leagues of Gothic Horror line expands that pulpy adventure into darker, more horrific places, and is already supported by guides to Apparitions, Mummies, Black Magic, Vampires and Shapeshifters. This Kickstarter will shed light on the Ministry of Unusual Affairs, the Crown's response to the horrible things in the world, and the land of Mordavia. The Mordavia book promises flexibility, as each major character will have two backstories, and you pick the one that applies in your campaign.
The campaign is just over $1000 away from reaching its goal, and has 11 days to get there. A stretch goal is out there to unlock a Guide to the Walking Dead as well.
