This is an offer of the Awfully Cheerful Engine RPG from EN Publishing, described as a cinematic pop-culture action-comedy RPG.

This one is interesting - the rules system is deliberately kept simple and easy to understand, using mechanics seen previously in games like the Ghostbusters RPG, and the book contains eight fairly detailed settings with adventures. Inspiration for the settings/adventures includes big city ghost-chasing, archeological adventuring, a "high school with weird science" setting, teenage mutant thingies, and so forth. It's fun and cheap, and definitely well worth a look if you like its freewheeling style of play, and it should be easy to adapt the adventures to any RPG that isn't too rules-heavy, or import adventures for other system-light games to this one. Recommended!

After a fair amount of faffing around I've bought a refurbished HP Z2 Workstation PC on eBay for a little over £300, should get it by the end of the week. Specifications are

Intel Core i7 8700 processor 3.2GHz (MaxTurbo 4.6GHz)
32 GB RAM
Storage - 1TB SSD + 2TB HD
Form factor - micro tower
Windows 11 Professional

It doesn't have a graphics card additional to the motherboard, I don't expect that to be a problem for my purposes but I can put one in if necessary.

Since my experience of Windows 11 is limited, I'd be grateful for suggestions on anything I need to do to keep it under control - for example, when I switched to Window 10 I had to install a third party user interface program to make it work more like earlier versions.

This is a bundle of Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy, the complete and definitive version of the Old-School Essentials tabletop roleplaying rules set from Necrotic Gnome. Essentially, an updated and streamlined Basic D&D variant adding spells from AD&D.

As I seem to be saying a lot lately, this really isn't my sort of thing at all, but if it is it might be worth a look.
