Let's talk Turkey ala ROLF!

It's the time of year when Americans gather for Thanksgiving celebrations, and in many households time is spent watching football games.

But what if you don't football? What if there are several family members who don't like football? WELL, what you need to do is to gather those family members and convince them to play ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game with you! And we have just the introductory package for you to do that with!


The ROLF! Thanksgiving Feast Bundle includes the basic rules and three Thanksgiving/turkey-themed battle scenarios (Day of the Turkey, Turkey Shoot, and World War T), each of which include pre-generated characters for near-instant play and additional rules. Also Turkey Shoot includes some comics for added entertainment value (even if they may not be entirely family friendly... but, hey, we DO have a reputation to uphold here at NUELOW Games). You even save some money, as this bundle is offered at a 50% discount of what it would cost to buy the four booklets individually.

Get the ROLF! Thanksgiving Feast Bundle today from RPGNow or DriveThruRPG!

(We offer this special package every year around Thanksgiving. Unless we forget... which we did last year. Whoops!)
