Counterblast Adventure Battle Game
Counterblast is a set of free wargames rules for pulp-style adventures. The author writes:
Bombshell Miniatures presents the COUNTERBLAST™ Adventure Battle Game, a pulp-inspired science fiction tabletop skirmish battle game for 15mm or 28mm miniatures. COUNTERBLAST™ takes place in a dieselpunk setting of classic pulp sci-fi adventure with fast paced action and cinematic thrills, evocative of the serials that captivated the imagination of previous generations.
The Complete Conan Collection – Free!
The complete set of Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories now are available for free in Amazon Kindle format. You can read this 800+ page book on your phone, tablet or computer with the free Kindle app, or with one of Amazon’s standalone Kindle readers. I have a Kindle reader and really like it. While not as nice as a book with actual pages, it is a much better experience than a phone or tablet. I’ve recovered the cost of the Kindle many times over with the free books I can find on Amazon.
This Conan book, for example, is $61 in hardcover, while the Kindle I own was $120. With one reading experience, I’m halfway to making it pay for itself.
