Adventurer! We've resurrected our August 2023 Nightmares Underneath Bundle featuring The Nightmares Underneath, the old-school horror-fantasy tabletop roleplaying game from Chthonstone Games. The physical world faces invasion by deadly "incursions" from the Realm of Nightmares that manifest as dungeons. To destroy the incursion, your fantasy adventurers must risk nightmarish curses, face the dungeon's monsters, and loot its treasures. Use your loot to improve your home community, making it more prosperous and helpful for your expeditions into the ruins from the Age of Chaos, where you may find items of great magical power to banish the nightmares.
The Nightmares Underneath, a standalone game by Johnstone Metzger (Class Warfare, Adventures on Dungeon Planet, Wizard-Spawned Insanities), creatively adapts the systems common to old-school fantasy RPGs, replacing hit points with "Disposition" and introducing new alignment and spellcasting rules. This revival gives you a new chance to get the complete Nightmares Underneath core rulebook (both First and Second Editions) plus many incursions, monsters, and hexcrawls, for an unbeatable bargain price.
For just US$9.95 you get all three titles in this revived offer's Nightmare Starter collection (retail value $45) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete The Nightmares Underneath core rulebook (plus the free edition); the straightforwardly named Dungeon Full of Monsters; and a 36-page book of dungeon incursions, City of Poison.
And if you pay more than this revival's threshold price of $20.08, you'll level up and also get three Bonus Nightmares worth an additional $60, including the Nightmares spellbook The Nameless Grimoire; the large-scale wilderness sandbox setting Only Monsters Here; and The Metamorphica, a system-agnostic resource to generate mutations for dark fantasy, horror, transhuman sf, post-apocalypse, and even superhero campaigns.
Johnstone Metzger has a long-running "Monthly Monsters" Patreon campaign. Learn more about this offer at our official blog, Beyond the Bundle, and at the r/bundleofholding subreddit.
