Trail of Cthulhu Book Bundle
Sep 14 2023
Humble Bundle's Trail of Cthulhu Book Bundle gives you a bunch of RPG goodness of the soon to be obsolete RPG because Trail of Cthulhu 2nd edition has been announced for a KS this November. It's a lot of stuff though omits the purist adventures, Cthulhu Apocalypse, and a few adventures.
I own some of the PDFs, especially older versions that were reprinted as compilations, although I don't own the core rules in PDF. And I probably still have a lot of the early print products but not PDFs. So this bundle is still mostly useful. I'm mostly worried that since it doesn't have everything there maybe a future bundle that includes everything so I'd be buying it again. Still I guess $18 is too low to pass up.
