Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to look at the Call of Cthulhu Humble Bundle. We're going to look at the City of Arches Key of Worlds Adventure Paths, a new reward for hero tier patrons. Dread Thingonomicon, which was on sale last week, has a really awesome set of markdown files that you can drop right into Obsidian. We're going to talk about that. I'm also going to talk about the Lazy GM resource documents, likewise have Obsidian versions. We're going to show those off. We're going to dive into the tricky problem of item crafting and what's going on with item crafting and why everybody wants it and why it's really hard to implement well. We're going to talk about advanced random encounter tricks.
We're going to combine a bunch of different random encounter tricks that I've talked about before into one talk to dive into some of the great tricks that you can do with random encounters to make them really, really useful. And we're going to cover the first batch of questions from the October 2024 Patreon Q&A, all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show. I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk about all things in tabletop role-playing games. This show is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of cool tools, tips, tricks, ways to improve your fantasy RPGs, things that you can directly use, all different kinds of stuff. They also get access to the awesome Lazy DM community over on Discord, and they help me put on shows like this. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your support.
To give you an idea of the example of that support, my wife and I, because we have things like Patreon that are able to help us with our funding, we were able to give out about $13,000 worth of material to school programs, after school programs last year. Unfortunately, all of our sponsorships are filled at this point. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it again next year. But we definitely like to give back to the community overall, in particular to those who are running programs for kids after school, whether they are at libraries or whether they are other community programs or schools, we like to give back. We were able to give both cash and products to these groups for a total of about 12, I think it's about 12 to $13,000 that we were able to give because of the outstanding support that we get from patrons. So patrons, thank you so much for your support. And we are very happy to be able to take some of that support and give it back to communities that are running role playing games for kids.
kids all over the world. Boy, Humble Bundles, man. So we talked, I don't even remember what it was, but one point that I'd like to make for the fine, distinguished, astute RPG customer, the best way to get great value in tabletop role-playing games is bundles of holding and Humble Bundles. If you want to fill up your library with awesome digital role-playing game products, your digital library with digital role-playing game products, They have outstanding deals. The best deals you're going to find are on Humble Bundle and Bundle of Holding. As an example, we have the Call of Cthulhu Humble Bundle, which is currently available. $25 gets you 26 products. That's less than a dollar per product. That includes...
a whole slew of call of cthulhu stuff now i don't play call of cthulhu i've played one or two times i know about it i enjoy it i like it i think it looks cool but boy 25 bucks including the the core rule books and the starter set plus a whole bunch of other accessories for this cost is just too cheap to not jump on and i did and i and i got it An interesting thing about this humble bundle is it gives you access to it through DriveThruRPG. So when you're done, you will get a link that links to the bundle on DriveThruRPG, which then adds all of these products, plus all of the accessories for all these products, into one big bundle. And I recommend using the DriveThruRPG download tool to get it, because otherwise you'll be sitting there all day clicking download. And instead, I was able to get a nice Chaosium folder that had all of the RPGs underneath it with all of the accessories for it.
