In March 2023 we presented the all-new Goodman Games 4E Bundle featuring supplements and adventures published by Goodman Games in 2008-2010 for the Fourth Edition (2007-2013) of Dungeons & Dragons from Wizards of the Coast. Goodman’s modules, character sourcebooks, and bestiaries showcase the appeal of a system that still attracts enthusiasts on Reddit, Discord, and on virtual tabletops.
Between 2008 and 2010, using the Game System License (Wizards’ first attempt to supplant the Open Game License), Goodman Games published four dozen licensed Fourth Edition products. The GSL proved unpopular, and only Goodman and a few others adopted it. As 4E mindshare gave way to Paizo’s Pathfinder, Joseph Goodman published his own standalone Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and never looked back.
These Goodman Games sourcebooks and modules require the 2007 Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition rulebooks from Wizards of the Coast, which were not included in this offer. Orrrr you could use Sanglorian’s free Orcus 4E-compatible retroclone rulebooks, and consult the Offline Compendium for reference. The titles in this offer won’t work well with other editions of the D&D rules.
There were eight complete titles in our Player Collection (retail value $85) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including Azagar’s Book of Rituals; two Forgotten Heroes character-class expansions – Scythe & Shroud and Fang, Fist, and Song; four Hero’s Handbook character sourcebooks – Dragonborn, Eladrin, Tiefling, and Immortal Heroes; and the 4E Character Codex.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire DM Collection with seven more titles worth an additional $68, including Blackdirge’s Dungeon Denizens for Fourth Edition; three 4E module collections – In Search of Adventure, From Here to There, and Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer; both Master Dungeons modules – M1 Dragora’s Dungeon and M2 Curse of the Kingspire; and the 4E DM Campaign Record.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to the charity designated by Goodman Games owner Joseph Goodman, the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. For more than 30 years the SF-Marin Food Bank has worked to end hunger in the San Francisco Bay Area, where one in four neighbors is at risk of hunger.
