For Midgard!!! New Bundle of Holding full of Northern thews and dark fantasy
New Bundle of Holding is a Kobald Press take-over with the City of Zobeck and Midgard campaign setting for Pathfinder. I haven’t played the system in a few years but I’m willing to take a look and at the current bonus buy-in of $15.00 it isn’t too bad for 8 books. Been thinking of delving […]
