Voices from the Cynosure

This is a bundle of material for Coyote & Crow, an alternate-history science fantasy RPG set in the Free Lands of an uncolonized North America, with a mixture of technology and magic. I'm told that it's created by a First Nation (Native American) team and has some very positive reviews.

At the moment I'm travelling and can't insert graphics etc or open the game due to a very old iPad and crappy internet access. I'll add more tomorrow night. It should be on line in an hour or so and It looks like it might be interesting, and you get quite a lot for a very reasonable price.

A repeat of a 2022 offer of Sigil Stone Publishing FRPGs which add modern rules to Old School Revival Adventures. One supplement is added from the original release, but if you bought that you will get the new material free so no need to buy it again.

In 2022 I said "It's about 25 years since I last played a pure dungeon-bashing adventure, and to be honest I don't particularly want to go back to the genre. Both look reasonably well presented, and it's an unusually cheap bundle; if these are the sort of games you like it's worth a look." I don't think any of that has changed.

This is a bundle of material for 5th edition games (e.g. D&D) from MT Black Games:

This is a genre I'm really not very interested in any more, but for those who are it looks like the price is pretty good.

My Windows box is getting increasingly flaky, and I think it's a hardware problem rather than software. Briefly, it hangs on bootup more often than not, and goes into hibernation mode or shuts down spontaneously occasionally. I've had it for more than a decade and I'd prefer not to faff around trying to fix it so it's probably time to bite the bullet and get another.

Basically, I want a reasonably fast mini-tower PC (something like 3GHZ should be fine) with 16GB RAM, either a good built-in graphics card or room to add one, a network socket, lots of USB sockets (or room for a card with a few sockets) compatibility with older IBM keyboards (I still have an original AT keyboard and love it), and preferably a SSD drive for the boot drive, a bay for another big hard drive, and a DVD writer or space to put one in. I'm probably going to have to use Windows 11, and would want the full Pro version. I'm probably going to have to get a new scanner too, my current one is barely supported by Windows 10, but that's nowhere near as urgent.

Last time I got a Zoostorm box, but it doesn't look like they're especially good value right now. Anyone noticed any good offers recently? No urgency, I'm not going to be able to do much about this until after Easter.
