e23: Two for None

You don't have to spend your money here, y'know. And I don't mean closing the browser and going somewhere else. I mean you can get products from e23 without spending money. As proof, I present unto you these two new products.

The first is GURPS Infinite Worlds: I.S.T. It's a brief treatment of the I.S.T. setting as part of the Infinite Worlds setting. Good if you aren't familiar with I.S.T., but perfect if you are. The second is the GURPS Range Ruler. This little baby is precisely what it says on the tin: a tool to help you calculate things like range modifiers quickly and easily. No more stumbling through the book! (Well, not for this, anyway. There was only so much room on the ruler, after all.)

And there you have it. Now go not spend some money!

e23: We're Not Done with You Yet, Car Wars Fans

A little while back, we rereleased the Car Wars Compendium as a PDF here on e23. A few people noted that, while this was very cool, it's kind of hard to play the game without any counters.

That was a very good point. So here are some counters! That is to say, here's Car Wars Expansion Set 6 - The AADA Vehicle Guide Counters. Bit of a mouthful, that one. But the important part is that it's a set of counters you can print out and color to suit your whims!

Now I know what you're thinking. "But Fox, these counters are great, but don't we also need a map to play on?" That, too, is a very good point. Hmmm . . .

e23: Arion Games Sale

Arion Games' products have never been particularly expensive. But they seem determined to save you even more money on miniatures, because they're running a sale for the entire month of November! All Arion Games products are now 20% off until the end of the month.

Dwarves, Egyptians, pirates, robots, modern people - if you've got a genre, they have a set of Paper Miniatures for you. And if you've got a wallet, you can afford 'em! Heck, you've probably got enough change in your couch for a set or two. In fact, I bet your couch has been holding out on you. You should really go shake down your couch.

But act quickly. You only have the entire month of November to get in on these low-low prices! After that, you'll just have to get by with Arion's regular low prices.

e23: An Odd Number

Congratulations, Goodman Games! The Warbringer's Son is the 63rd Dungeon Crawl Classic! Who would have thought, all those years ago, that you'd come this far? But oh, the tales you have told, the caverns you have crafted, and (more importantly) the levels you have gained. Why, you've even followed one game system across three versions! Truly this is a momentous occasion.

And you, good customers of e23, can help them celebrate this occasion by purchasing a copy of Dungeon Crawl Classics #63: The Warbringer’s Son. They can use the money from your purchase to go buy noise makers and champagne and maybe some of those little hats and . . . I don't know, whatever Goodman feels is important to having a good time. Poodles, maybe.

Here's to another 63 adventures!

e23: And What Do We Do with Witches?

Read them! Wait, hang on. I think I might be confused again.

I have a book here, and the words on the first page say Colonial Gothic: Witchcraft. It's all about witches! Not witches as in "hey, let's crush Margaret under some rocks, because I'd really like her house." This is more of the "Margaret made a vile pact with the ebon forces of the damned and we should probably go" type of witchcraft. This book will get your Colonial Gothic games up to speed on what witches are, what they do, and just what the heck you can do about them.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that it probably involves fire.

e23: We Really Do

Did you know that e23 sometimes sells fiction? I mean . . . yeah, all these games are fiction, but I'm talking about fiction-fiction. It's true!

Don't believe me? Well fine, here's Gaslight Demons. What's it about? Oh no, I'm not telling you. You didn't believe me! You'll just have to buy the book and see for yourself. Because my lips are sealed, baby. You aren't getting one word out of me.

Well. Okay, you're getting those words up there. And, um, these words right here. But that's all!

e23: The Dark Arts

So what is this thing known as ZelArt 3: Female Fantasy? What secrets does it hold? What mysteries does it contain? What locked bundle of hidden things does it hold out of the sight of curious eyes? What, if you will, is it?

It's a bundle of pictures you can buy and use in projects. That's all. Uh, sorry if I built it up beyond reasonable expectations.

They're very nice pictures, if that helps.

e23: Home Away from . . .

Wait, no, this is pretty much it. Adventurers aren't really known for holding down a mortgage. As such, this "home away from home" is home, for all intents and purposes. So when you're tired of carrying all your junk around, we now have a ready made junk receptacle for you!

Take a look at 0one's Blueprints: Hunters' Lodge and see for yourself! Perfect for all your rangery needs. If you have any rangery needs, that is. If you don't, then fret not. This place is only one raging inferno away from being the start of a revenge story.

I mean, you gotta have a roleplaying reason for that racial enemy bonus, right?

e23: Have Faith

Some people send their hopes to an invisible man in the sky. Some make offerings to the spirits of the wild. Still more dress like pirates and jabber on about beer volcanoes

Whatever your celestial leanings, Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics has you covered. We've got war gods! We've got sea gods! We've got gods that just want you to show that special someone a really good time! This book is designed to take the basic "hit them, heal us" template from the first Dungeon Fantasy and spread it out over a number of a different gods. Now your holy warrior of Brahmfulomrand, Lord of the Unyielding Flame won't look exactly like your cleric of Jub, God of Getting a Good Deal.

Though I suppose at a "50% off all holy weapons" sale the two would still seem much the same.

e23: One of Them! One of Them!

It's Halloween (more or less)! Bring out the freaks! Don't have any? That's okay, you can share ours!

We've got three new additions to the Freakshow line. The disgusting Bloodworms, the somewhat less disgusting Banshee, and the not at all disgusting (but still quite scary) Bloody Wheels. Buy one! Buy all three! Buy one and then maybe pick up a second one once you have the money for it, while holding off on the third one until you finally get around to starting that new horror campaign.

Just do something freaky, whatever you do. That's the important bit.
