Support Take This with the Pathfinder Second Edition Bundle of the Dead

Thursday, September 19, 2024

Spooky Season approaches (though, let’s be honest, does it ever really end for some of us?) and that provides the perfect opportunity for a thematically appropriate Humble Bundle! Starting today, and running through October 10, you can pick up the Pathfinder Second Edition Bundle of the Dead, featuring $811 of content, including Book of the Dead, the complete six-part Blood Lords Adventure Path (as well as the associated Foundry VTT modules), and many more titles to help you bring chilling adventures of terror and dread to your face-to-face or digital tables!

Pathfinder Second Edition Bundle of the Dead Humble Bundle


But it’s not just the content of this bundle that’s timely. Proceeds from the Pathfinder Second Edition Bundle of the Dead will support Take This, whose mission is to decrease the stigma of, and increase the support for, mental health in the game enthusiast community and inside the game industry. While they’d be a worthy cause to support at any time, Take This announced at the end of August that they were in dire need of help to keep from shutting down entirely. There’s literally no better time for you to support their cause, and this bundle provides just such an opportunity.

Take This has provided support, community, information, and tools to support mental wellness for people who make and play games since 2012. Through programs that serve the game community and the game industry, the organization strives to build an environment that fosters and celebrates mental wellbeing through games, communities, and workplaces built for thriving.

Take This’ three tentpole programs provide concrete support to people who make and play games while uplifting everyone who is part of this community.

The Take This Accelerate Program is an initiative fueling the next generation of games and mental health experts. While supporting the professional development of creators, game developers, and researchers, Accelerate is building a critical mass of ethically trained, knowledgeable early-career professionals to advance the work of building a game industry focused on digital thriving, prosocial interaction, and safety by design.

The Take This AFK Room is a staffed, relaxed space at conventions and events designed for anyone who feels overwhelmed and needs a place to regain their calm. It is run by local volunteers and clinicians, trained by Take This, to moderate and maintain the atmosphere. The program offers education, resources, and a non-therapeutic listening ear to convention attendees, allowing them to find respite and fully enjoy their convention experience.

The Take This Mental Health in Games Awards honors digital and tabletop games which represent excellence in compassionate, non-stigmatizing portrayals of mental health, normalize mental health challenges, and uplift the mental wellbeing of the game community. These awards recognize excellence in compassionate, non-stigmatizing portrayals of mental health and mental health challenges in both video and tabletop games - games that go above and beyond in portraying the cornerstones of the Take This’ mission: mental health issues, healing, and hope.

Why this bundle, right now?

Right now, Take This is facing a serious financial reality: You may have noticed the organization’s plea for financial support earlier this year. As hard as they’ve worked to make up that gap, the organization still needs significant help. Without everyone’s support, Take This and all of its impactful programs will cease to exist - unless they raise $80,000 by the end of September. Luckily, to help them make up the gap, Take This has received a commitment from an anonymous donor to match up to $50,000 of all donations made during this month—including from this bundle! So, you can double the impact of your gift just by purchasing the bundle. And if you can’t purchase the bundle, please consider supporting the awesome work of Take This directly.

I'm so excited for this bundle, both because it's spooky season and because I'm proud that we're supporting the very important work Take This does in the space!

Almost always excited for these because while I ususlly have most of the core stuff, the Adventures and Scenarios easily make the cost worthwhile in addition to supporting a cause that help people in need.

Plus, more undead stuff to enjoy/torment my players with!

Huzzah!

Just a reminder that if you get this, there's an option to adjust the donation amounts to put more towards the charity if you want.

Hrm... roughly 22 items that I don't have, plus a bunch of flip maps that I can print out on some cloth/nylon for easy storage and use...

And I'm supporting a great cause. Seems pretty straight forward to me.


I see value....I click
I can support a great cause....I click even faster
This is nothing but a good thing


Would it be possible to get official best practice instructions on the reproduction of the flip-mats and tiles? I know that there has been discussion over the years with the previous discontinuation of the physical pawn line resulting in people wanting to know how to do those from the pdfs, but getting the maps and tiles could be more challenging.

I love the maps that I've gotten already, and would love to expand the collection. However, I'm discouraged from purchasing more pdf versions since there's so much difficulty trying to get them just right. Having the directions for them from the publisher would really help.

Plus, having official directions would go a long way to expanding the sales of these when they aren't doing additional physical prints... no extra cost.

eta. I'm sorry that this sounds whiney. I just think this would help promote additional sales of these items. And if they are included in the higher tiers of the bundle, having the instructions would help incentivize going for it for some people.

Wait, why wouldn't you include the revised core rules, rather than the original? Only new players need the base rules, but here they do not get the revised rules?

My guess is that because the Adventure Path included is an OGL adventure path and thus not built for PC Core/GM Core

That, and the remaster core books are less than a year old. It doesn't make sense to discount them so deeply when they're still in their natural peak sales window. Retailers don't like it when we offer brand new stuff at extreme discounts and undercut their ability to move the product on their shelves. We'll have plenty of opportunities to include remastered titles in future bundles.

I appreciate the honest answer. I figured that was the primary driver, though I was wondering if something in the other books were more reliant on the old core. You have to run a business here too, so I understand. It just seems a shame if new players pick it up and get the big "old" rules.


When it's all said and done, we all still direct everyone to the archives, anyway. So, while they're getting the pf2ecrb, etc. they will still have access to the revised rule sets. It is inconvenient to need to convert things, but not impossible.

More transparent printing instructions would be good though.

How do you print them on cloth or nylon? Do you have access to some sort of special printer?
