I've been meaning to get this for some time, and now that it is
40% off (today only) it seems like a great opportunity. If you own the book, tell us what you think. How have you used it in your games?

Quote from: OSC1This is a compilation of Medieval-Authentic material from the first 50 issues of RPGPundit Presents. Organized by topic, it is not simply the various issues thrown together. Rather, this tome acts as a sourcebook of various Medieval-Authentic topics for RPGPundit's Lion & Dragon RPG, as well as other OSR fantasy games. It features...
5 new classes for your characters, such as the courtier and archer.
Special rules for longbows/crossbows, advanced critical tables, domain management, and mass combat.
Spellbooks and a number of grimoires, including the Goetia and Book of the Art of Hours.
Astrology and the Arcana.
Medieval life and activities, including the history and rule of the Clerical Order, merchant and caravans, and courtly events and intrigues.
The supernatural, including the Twilight Realm of the Fae, cursed artifacts, and sinister supernatural wilderland encounters.
Starting the year off right. :-)
First, thanks for letting me know it was the deal of the day. My publisher didn't give me a heads up.
Second, the Old School Companion is designed for Lion & Dragon, but as an OSR product it has a ton of stuff you can incorporate very easily into any D&D-based game. It has tons of stuff for ritual magic based on real hermetic texts. It also has a bunch of stuff to give your setting an increased medieval flavor.
And some faerie stuff that comes out of ancient folktales and legend.
I bought it when it first came out, worth every penny. Lots and lots of material you can use in pretty much any game, honestly.
