[dire rugrat publishing] Anniversary Sale and Return of the Bundles


Product Discussion


It’s Our Birthday!

Thank you, dire rugrat fans! If not for your encouragement, we wouldn’t still be at this one year later. It is hard to believe it has already been a whole year since Tangible Taverns: The Bull & The Bear was released. We’ve come up with lots of other taverns since then, and we’ve branched out into mini-adventures, playable races, and other tools to aid GMs.

We’ve got more great ideas lined up over the next year, and we owe that to you and your encouragement. Thank you to everyone who has bought our products over the last year and an extra thank you to those who have taken the time to provide feedback and reviews. We sincerely appreciate it.

In honor of our first birthday, all of our products are 10% off on DriveThruRPG. Every. Single. One. That includes brand new releases like Grippli: Playable Amphibians (5e) and Tangible Taverns: The Hidden Oak (PFRPG, system neutral and 5e) and the recently reviewed Tangible Taverns: Trio of Taverns.

PLUS, in honor of our one-year anniversary, we are bringing our Tangible Tavern bundles back, and they are better than ever! With more taverns than ever before (the complete collection, in fact) and all at a savings of about 20% - what’s not to love? (These are available exclusively at DriveThruRPG.)

Check us out on DriveThruRPG for all of our formats, or pick up any of our PFRPG products right here on Paizo!


We want you to help us celebrate, so in addition to the great deals above, we here at dire rugrat publishing want to offer the first five people who comment below their choice of one of our products.

It's easy!

1) Just write a comment saying which one of our taverns (or other products) is your favourite, and why, and/or write a comment saying what sort of tavern (or other product) you'd like to see from us soon.

2) Include which product of ours you'd like a complimentary copy of.

That's it.

Happy gaming!

1) I'd love to see a beachside bar with tropical fruit drinks. Very easygoing, "no cares or worries" place. Naturally it's a front for some very sophisticated plotting to overthrow the region's strongman while the tourists are entertained by the locals.

2) May I please have a copy of "Trio of Taverns"?

Thanks for the request, CrystalSeas! I have two sea side "taverns" in mind, so maybe it's time to get going on them....

I've sent you a PM about the tavern :)

Yes, I downloaded it a bit earlier and had a quick read. Thanks Liz!!

One question that I haven't had time to check since I haven't read every little word.

I am working with a group that is still on Beginner Box adventures and we're going to stay Core for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to get some new players to GM, so we're keeping it simple.

Is there any designation in the stat blocks that would help me remove non-Core stuff from the NPCs? Or are there a couple NPCs who are Core?

Folks! Here's a chance for FREE BOOKS! Take advantage of it!

There aren't any Core only NPCs in Trio, I'm afraid. Bellamy and Malena are probably the closest; you'll need to swap out Bellamy's silent table, memory lapse, peacebond, breeze, and spark spells and his Steadfast Personality Feat. Malena will need her adoration and unwitting ally spells swapped out as well as her harmonic spell feat. She's also a tiefling, but that's primarily represented in her stat block by her resistances and darkvision I believe.

The rest of the stat blocks delve a bit too deeply into archetypes and non-Core classes to be easily retroconverted to Core only. I hope that helps a bit!

1) It is truly hard to give a "favorite" of mine. They are all so good. However, if I had to pick, I think that the Delectable Dragonfly has some of the most interestingly written NPCs, though this hardly makes it distinct from the other books. The Bull and Bear is a close second for similar reasons. Honestly, the vibrant inter-connectivity of the NPCs mimics my GM style so closely that these locations fit in perfectly with my games.

2) I don't believe I've gotten a chance to look at the Hidden Oak, so I would like to do so. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback! I love the Delectable Dragonfly, but it isn't a usual tavern by any means. It does have some great role-playing opportunities, and we created an easy way to get PCs in there with the accompanying mini adventure (which I think I saw is also one of your favorite mini adventures by DRP?). It's wonderful to hear you like it!

The Hidden Oak is coming your way this afternoon, Lorathorn! If you get a chance to review it, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Still 3 free products left! Got our taverns already? How about a mini-adventure? Or the new Grippli race for 5e?

1) I gave positive review to tangible tavern: bull & bear and Tuffy's good time palace. of the two I like more Tuffy's because is more prone to spawn adventures from it.

2) I'm not fussy I would take any of your products for free with a smile in my face, but taking into account that you already gave me the other two for free is probably too blatant for me and not a good idea for you.

Hi Nicos!

Thanks again for those reviews. 3PPs love getting feedback, so we are grateful to those who chime in. I'd be happy to send you another one of our products, and I'm fine picking one for you, but why don't you check out the full list of our products (not all the 5e stuff is up on Paizo) and then let me know what you like the sound of best, and which format you want it in.

Endzeitgeist just gave Trio of Taverns a five star review (with a seal for the 5e version), but we've also got mini-adventures, 5e resources and a bunch of other taverns.

Lorathorn loved the Delectable Dragonfly, and it's got some great plot hooks to get the PCs in the door. If your promise a review, I could send you the mini-adventure and the tavern. ;)

As I said though, take a look and let me know what appeals to you most.


Anyone that doesn't have a review yet?


I'm never against free stuff, and if I can find time I'll review it too. The Trio of Taverns does sound very interesting.

EDIT: Nicos has the right idea. Surprise me with one that doesn't have a review yet.

Can do! (Though I think Lorathorn is an ambitious reviewer who has posted something for just about every one of our products!)

First things first - 5e, or PFRPG folks? Or system neutral if you are using a different system. That's an option too.


PFRPG (or neutral if not much rules are needed)


PFRPG


PMs sent!

One more copy left for anyone who wants to sample one of our products and/or write a review!
