Lamentations MEGASALE and PICKS!

As you probably know, LotFP (Lamentations of the Flame Princess) is a Basic clone famous for its gory, mature, bloody art, and some interesting adventures. The rules are great, IMO: well organized, streamlined, and even somewhat rebalanced. It "fixes" many rough edges from Basic: thief skills, cleric progression, encumbrance, etc.

BTW: If you don't know LoTFP, read this. And if you want to know what kind of adventures these are, read this

They are currently doing a HUGE sale for ALL products - everything for 1.15! 

But let me warn you: this not for the faint of hearth. Some modules are dark, strange, bloody, often experimental, and sometimes extremely graphic and gory.

The average quality of these products is such that I can say that, for this price, you might consider buying the whole bunch.

But if you are thinking of picking some specific books, but don't know what to pick... Here are some of my favorites. 

I tried to go a bit off the beaten path, but all their best sellers are probably worth checking out.


First, get the main rules. They are very good. Free version here.

Qelong is a great sandbox adventure by Kenneth Hite. I put this one first because it's less famous than others, and I think it deserves the attention. I've ran the whole module and is it one of the best coherent/self-contained OSR sandbox setting out there.

Carcosa is a dark/weird setting that is FULL of inspiration. Lovecraftian horrors, dark rituals, advanced tech, sword and sorcery... If you liek any of these, check this book.

Both contain amazing art by Rich Longmore, BTW.

Isle of the Unknown is not quite Carcosa but might be worth for the amazing looks and weird monsters alone.

Random Esoteric Creature Generator is an amazing monster maker, and this version has awesome art too. It was one of my inspirations for writing Teratogenicon.

Staffortonshire Trading Company is... a collection of historical maps and floor plans! Looks incredibly useful.

I haven't read Veins of The Earth, but I've got it. It looks good, full of interesting ideas, and has lots of positive reviews. Same for Broodmother SkyFortress.

I've ran The God That Crawls recently and it it is a very interesting adventure - if not for everyone. Review here.

Better Than Any Man you can get for free, but also deserves mention, it is a great adventure.

I've got World of the Lost because I find Chandler's stuff amazing. Haven't finished it yet.

Well, we could be here all day, but that is a good start. If you like weird, dark, OSR stuff, you can't miss this one.
