Colonial Gothic + Fairyland!
Wednesday 3 July 2019

In early July 2019, to mark America’s Independence Day (and within recent memory of Canada Day), we once again revived the July 2017
Colonial Gothic Bundle featuring the supernatural flintlock-horror RPG from
Rogue Games — and this time we added a treat!
In
Colonial Gothic you uncover the secret history of America’s 18th-Century frontier, where monsters stalk the woods and ghosts haunt every sleepy hollow. The fast and cinematic “12 Degree System” supports a wide range of historical approaches, from plausible “High Action” (
Last of the Mohicans, Dances With Wolves) to “Occult & Mystery” (
Sleepy Hollow) to outright Supernatural (
Brotherhood of the Wolf, Pirates of the Caribbean, Van Helsing).

As it has each Fourth of July, this bargain-priced revival once again presented much of the
Colonial Gothic gaming line —
everything you need for a complete campaign of magic and mayhem in the shadows of early America. For this revival,
CG designer Richard Iorio generously added his new, just-published RPG of magical innocence,
Fairyland — and
all previous purchasers of this
Colonial Gothic Bundle during its two previous runs also received the new game automatically on their Wizard’s Cabinet download page.

There were
eight titles in this revived offer’s
Starter Collection (retail value
$52) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete
Colonial Gothic Third Edition rulebook; three essential supplements (
Gamemaster,
Adventure, and
The Player Companion); the adventures
The Landlord’s Daughter and
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow; the
Colonial Gothic Gamemaster Screen; and the 174-page
Beginnings adventure that kicks off the
Flames of Freedom campaign about the American Revolution.

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price, which was set at
$17.76 to start (hah!),
also got this revival’s entire
Bonus Collection with
ten more titles worth an additional
$77:
As with both previous runs, the entire Rogue Games share of this
Colonial Gothic revival’s proceeds was donated to the charity selected by Rogue Games owner Richard Iorio II, the
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “Over the weekend of June 12-14, 2015 I lost three friends in succession to suicide,” Richard writes. “The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention helps you understand why this event happened and, more important, they offer comfort. They cannot take away the pain, but they can help you deal with it.” Richard wrote about the AFSP on this blog: “
The Colonial Gothic Bundle and the ASFP“.
