I'm not sure if there are any more AFF books available, but on my past Bundle Of Holding purchases, I usually get an extra one or two sourcebooks unlocking later on, too, depending on how well it does.

Says the "Bonus Collection", which includes that one, is currently at $18.82 minimum. 

So... $19 for all of them.  Not a bad haul on $84 retail price worth of AFF.  I tend to think many RPG pdfs are over-priced, at their regular price point, so keep an eye on these bundle sales.

My summary of this recent RPG:



This is a great Dark Fantasy RPG that's pretty light on rules, but has a lot of player customization flexibility.  Has some similarities with D&D, along with influences from others (notably Warhammer Fantasy RPG).

It uses a simple D20 roll, with positive/negative modifiers distilled into dice pool style +/-1D6 (take highest if more than one).  Simple mix of a D20 dice mechanic, but with the benefit of minimizing the "modifier hell" many of those systems have.

The really great thing about SotDL is the character options. 

It's obviously taken some inspiration from the old WFRP style multi-classing, and made some new twists.  You start out as one of four basic classes, called Paths, which are Magician, Priest, Rogue, and Warrior.  But after reaching level two, you choose an "Expert Path", of which there are a good number (examples: Artificer, Assassin, Berserker, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Thief, Warlock, Wizard, etc).

Later, on level-up, "Master Paths" will open to you.  Ex: Abjurer, Aeromancer, Acrobat, Avenger, Conqueror, Dervish, Duelist, Engineer, Exorcist, Gladiator, Inquisitor, Magus, Savant, Shapeshifter, Stormbringer, Templar, Zealot, and many others.. 

Each is pretty much it's own class, and you continue to gain a choice of exclusive benefits for each one you choose in future level-ups.  The number of possible special ability mixes is quite large, but it's still more structured,due to being divided up into Paths, than choosing them individually. 

You can add new Paths as you level, so it's like mixing & matching numerous different little classes more often.  Instead of being restricted to a couple-three that may not even blend too well.  You can continue to specialize, and get stronger in, a certain Master Path or branch out into others, being more of a generalist or mix of specialities.


Another thing I greatly appreciated:  No XP to track!   And good riddance.  Everyone simply levels-up after an adventure is completed, or when the GM deems a campaign milestone as appropriate to do so (GM decision).  Less boring accounting work, and we lose nothing in it's absence.

Lastly, some of the races in the Core book are a bit unusual.  Along with Humans, there are options for playing as Changelings, Clockwork, Dwarves, Goblins, and Orcs.  Expansion books add more (Elf, Revenant, etc).  Keep in mind that the fae aren't the Tinkerball or Tolkien types, but more old school style; the kind that steal children, enslave peoples' minds with trickery, or dip their hats in people's blood for sustenance.  Hence the playable fae outcasts are character options - changelings and goblins.


I've seen the theme likened to that of the Dragon Age RPG.  Although I think the provided creatures & baddies in SotDL are more numerous, more varied, and generally more interesting on an individual level.  Yet the monsters' stat blocks are pretty trim, and look easy to run without much crunch to sort through on the fly.  8)


*Nef recommends Shadow of the Demon Lord.  Even for those of a singular D&D Murder Hobo mindset, because it is that too. :bd: 

The hardback Core book is also not terribly expensive, if you ever decide to get analog with it.  Think I paid about $36 for mine iirc.

Those are some sweet deals.  I have everything in hard cover.  I wish you could do print on demand for the gazetteers, because I'd get those in a heartbeat.  I have a couple, but the other paper copies I've found have been ridiculously overpriced.
