School's ending, the heat is on, so that means summer is effectively here. It's been nice by me, and I hope it continues!

I did some work to update scripts I use for Humble and Fanatical to extract the names of the items and make life easier for myself. Initially I did these all by hand, but as Humble Bundles and Fanatical bundles got more and more common, I didn't want to keep up, so I built some scripts to help. Now, they do most of the of listing the items, rather than about half. Bundle of Holding I still do by hand. :)

If you see something that doesn't make sense, please let me know! I'll see if I can fix it.

As a reminder, I cover bundles from Monday last week to this last Sunday so I can draft the post in advance. I'll cover yesterday's bundle's next week.

Bundle of Holding
:kF::ki::kr::ks::kt:<< these are the links Runs from 6/1/2026 to 6/22/2026

This first Bundle of Holding bundle is a revival of 2024's Brancalonia Spaghetti Western bundle from Acheron Games, which you can read about here. It's identical, including the price, which is saying a lot after the last few years!

:kS::ke::kc::ko::kn::kd: Runs from 6/1/2026 to 6/22/2026

Next up is the Brancalonia Bounty bundle, collecting more recent supplements for the Spaghetti Fantasy game. For $15, you can add the Bounty Kingdom Gazetteer, Spaghetti Fantasy Bestiary, and compilation of adventures and campaigns Furious Lands.

:kT::kh::ki::kr::kd: Runs from 6/3/2026 to 6/17/2026

Next up is the Kobolds Ate My Baby! bundle, from 9th Level Games. I've never actually gotten to play this "beer and pretzels" RPG where you're a kobold out raiding for King Torg. It sounds as if you're going to meet an inglorious end, which is often a kobold's fate.

This edition uses a similar system to Mazes and some other games that have caught my eye, with a simple "you use your one die" system. Looks fun!

The starter tier is $8, and includes the Orange Book version of Kobolds Ate My Baby! (and a coloring book), quickstart Are You My Kobold?

The upper tier is $20 and adds nine adventures and De Smorkas Borg, I think a Mork Borg-ified version of KAMB! (I took a look at it, and still am not totally sure, but I also somewhat confused by Mork Borg, particularly the layout.)


Humble Bundle
:kF::ki::kr::ks::kt: Runs from 6/2/2026 to 6/30/2026

This is a bit of a funny bundle in my book. It's got a lot of items on Roll20 and Demiplane; also in PDF. It's also a single tier, unusual for Humble. I guess take a look at the humble page and see if it has what you want or not before jumping.

This one is another big, crazy Humble mix, which I don't particularly care for. That's fine, I guess it's not for me. If you've played D&D or Pathfinder or something, and are looking to broaden your horizons, I'm sure this is awesome.

Welcome to another Mythic Monday! In today's post, I'm reporting on my continuing investigations with Elder Sign.

After-action report from confrontation with Nyarlathotep: The Crawling Chaos in the sands of Egypt on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, Part the first:

Previously...
:d10-1: Darrell Simmons and William Yorick had successfully sealed Rhan-Tegoth away (again) in the Frozen North (Alaska).
:d10-2: Mark Harrigan had learned of his re-assignment to Arkham by the Guardians. Before settling in, he had arranged for a clean-up crew at the Arkham Museum. Things were a bit of a mess after Ghatanothoa's attack... A friend was expected to bring his dog (Buster).
:d10-3: Tommy Muldoon had been sent home by Captain Schaeffer to get some rest and write up his reports before returning to duty.
:d10-4: Mandy Thompson had been brought up to speed (Captain Schaeffer of Arkham PD actually knows about Arkham's supernatural side and is willing to support the Arkham Investigators!) and then returned to the Arkham Museum Archives to do a bit of research into Pythia's cryptic instructions for Mark ("Pythia bids the soldier stay in Arkham 'til the song has been sung").
:d10-5: Akachi had been getting used to having an apprentice (Wendy). Living with a teenager was proving to be interesting...
:d10-6: Monterey Jack had been freed from elder influences and was recovering.
:d10-7: Doctor Vincent Lee... was around.
:d10-8: Skids had gotten his illegal gambling empire back on track.
:d10-9: Dexter Drake was still working as a stage magician on The Spell of the Seas (cruise ship) while investigating elder threats for the Guardians.
:d10-1::d10-0: Fallen Investigators: Patrice Hathaway, Kate Winthrop, Amanda Sharpe, Sister Mary, Rex Murphy, Gloria Goldberg, and Diana Stanley.
:d10-1::d10-1: Ongoing Effects: Permanent-1 Max Sanity on Mandy Thompson (penalty from Strange Lights over the Streets of Arkham)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present Day...
Monterey Jack, Akachi, and Wendy were in the office at the Arkham Museum.

"I'm starting to like Mark and those Guardians," said Monty as he twisted around in his new office chair and slurped down a mug of coffee.
"Just don't spill anything on Mandy's desk," the Shaman scolded the archaeologist. He sat the mug down gently on a coaster.
"Aww come on, Miss Akachi. I'm just having a bit of fun."
"Hmph."
Wendy smiled, "I'm just happy that the museum is back together. It looks great. The windows are all fixed. And we even got new chairs!" To prove her point, the teenager twirled behind her own desk.
"See, the little lass has her priorities right," said Monty.
"It is nice to have support," Akachi admitted, grudgingly.
"Are Mandy and Tommy coming in today?" Wendy turned to Akachi.
"Probably not. Mandy has the day off and Tommy is on leave."
"What? Why?" The teenager stopped spinning.
"Dr. Lee's orders," said the Shaman.
"I thought he was okay," said Monty.
"It is just a precaution."
"Look, I know that things got hairy. That whole almost possession thing, me losing my mind, Tommy helping me get it back. He's okay?"
"It is just a precaution," the Shaman repeated. "End of discussion."
Mandy's phone rang. "Hello, Dr. Mandy Thompson's desk, this is Dr. Monterey Jack speaking. How can I help you today?"
Wendy smirked. Akachi could already feel a headache coming on...
"This is Father Mateo, Sister Mary told me to call this number if things... well, if things got, shall we say, strange?"
"Father, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Sister Mary died." The line went silent. "You still there, father?"
"Yes, um, no, I didn't know. Yes, I'm still here, uh"
"Father, why are you calling?"
"Uh, you're going to think that I've lot my mind."
"Promise you, father. You're in good company." Monty motioned for Akachi to pick up the other receiver and listen in.
"I'm in Cairo. And I think there's something evil out there in the desert. I don't watch horror flicks. I don't believe in actual demons and things. But it is getting weird here. Blood and fire and people disappearing. Gosh, I have lost it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have"
"Father, wait," Akachi spoke up.
"Who's that?"
"A colleague," Monty responded.
"Father, do you know why Sister Mary told you to call this number?" Akachi asked the priest.
"Yes, she, she was working with a group in Arkham to keep uh, to keep supernatural threats at bay."
"This is that group, father," said Monty. "Look, I'm an archaeologist. How about I come to Egypt? I can come to you in Cairo. You show me what's going on and I'll try and help. That okay, father?"
Akachi scowled at Monty. They'd just got the archaeologist back!
"I, uh, yes, thank you," said Father Mateo. "I can meet you at the airport."
"What's your church, father?"
"Our Lady of Fatima."
"I'll meet you there around 5 PM local, that work?"
"Yes, thank-you. I will be here."
Monty hung up the receiver.
"What's going on? Are you really going to Egypt? Can I come?" Wendy piled on the questions enthusiastically.
"A friend of a fallen investigator needs help. Yes. No." Monty answered the teen.
"But," Wendy started only to be silenced by a glare from Akachi.
"This is a bad idea," said Akachi.
"Probably," said Monty, "but the sister died while I was indisposed. A friend of hers needs help, I'll go."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Egypt...

Monterey Jack

met up with Father Mateo

at Our Lady of Fatima in Cairo.

Things were hairy from the start {Look into the Abyss]

Monty checked out the Temple District

and in the Temple Courtyard [Note: The Red Die was currently locked elsewhere]

gained some valuable resources and a new Ally too!

Time was a tickin'! [Note: I love my new clock! Thanks, Torsten!]

Father Mateo investigated Ill Omens

gaining a Relic and a Knife [Common Item] for his troubles.

Monty stopped in downtown Cairo

for some quick healing,

leaving Father Mateo to face the Locusts alone!

A Dubious Opportunity: Turn Down the Sale

The investigation was slow going.

Gah!

Monty took on the Pharaoh's Curse.

Huzzah!

It was a great way to gather some much-needed resources.

The duo discarded these 2 Relics

to open paths to 2 Otherworlds!

Father Mateo made the trek to the City of Gugs and earned our heroes their first 2 Elder Signs!

Monterey Jack confronted the Form of the Beast.

Father Mateo investigated a Cursed Figurine,

using his Hallowed Ground ability

and the City of Gugs trophy

to avoid additional Monsters and win the day (and another Relic)!

For being new to all of this supernatural stuff, Father Mateo was holding his own!

At Midnight

the heroes sacrificed a Relic to help keep the darkness [Doom] at bay.

The Promise of Power lured

and the Terms (were) Accepted!

Slow going in the sand...

landed Monterey Jack on the Far Side of the Moon,

while Father Mateo was left to face Evil Unleashed!

Time ticked on...

Monty needed to recover

a bit of Sanity [Monterey Jack's certainly having a tough campaign! We just freed him from the possession by Yibb-Tstll not too long ago!].

Father Mateo failed to acquire the Golden Scarab!

Luckily, Dr. Monterey Jack was able to succeed where the father had failed.

Still... the Doom was gathering.

And as the clock again struck midnight

Things

threatened

to spin entirely out of control!

Looters didn't help. [Stop Them]

It was looking bleak

with monsters popping out of the sand [like daisies!].

Father Mateo faced his fears in Skull and Shadow,

growing his team of Allies.

Monty solved the mysteries of the Book of the Dead.

Whew.

That makes 4 Elder Signs.

Father Mateo confronted the Form of the Serpent

as the clock struck Midnight once more!

Assassins!

Monty confronted them! Now injured

he pressed on in A Meeting of Minds

gaining Wanderlust as a Skill.

With time against them, Monty advanced to

Dashur.

Father Mateo confronted yet another Pharaoh's Curse!

Monty used Wanderlust

to reveal Seedy Wares.

Disposing of the cursed objects cost effort

and time... a lot of time.

Doom gathered

in the Dunes.

Extreme Thirst led to

Wandering in the Desert

Father Mateo retrieved a Desert Jewel

Blazing Heat

sent the investigators back to Cairo! [No Time to Waste]

Dr. Jack confronted Something(s) Out There,

revealing the evil foe as Nyarlathotep, and bringing the heroes' Elder Sign count to 5 of the 15 needed to seal the Crawling Chaos away...

Our investigators once again set out from Cairo

to Dashur, in search of more Relics and more Elder Signs!

Father Mateo fought off a Brazen Stalker!

And gained another valuable Ally in Corinna Jones.

Monty explored the Inner Sanctum of the Lightless Pyramid

and recovered the powerful Stone of Souls

and a 6th Elder Sign!

Way to go, Monty!

Midnight!

Oh no! Scorpion Venom!

Father Mateo needed treatment. There was never a question of just letting it run its course.

Once recovered, the father got down to planning things out.

And Monty confronted an Aspect of Nyarlathotep!

Father Mateo stumbled onto a Desert Oasis, which did wonders for his Stamina and Sanity.

Then Monty sealed an Eldritch Gate!

7 Elder Signs down, 8 more to go... would our heroes find them all in time? Or would the Dark Pharaoh be unleashed upon the sands of Egypt and bring his darkness back into our world? You'll have to tune in next week to find out!

Comments:

My last Mythic Monday was Mythic Mondays- Meanwhile up North... Part 2 which was posted clear back on December 29th!?!! Gosh, it's been too long! Especially since I managed to acquire copies of both Elder Sign: Omens of the Pharaoh and Elder Sign: Omens of the Deep earlier this year and I was gifted an amazing clock upgrade- thanks again, Torsten! Now, I'm thrilled that I finally got Elder Sign back on my floor, even if it is already June. Note that this play (Into the Sands) is complete, meaning you can expect Part 2 next Monday :geek_grin:. I also have another play to write up. Additionally, some very special story beats are in the works, including a scary plotline for Tommy and Dexter Drake's return! Mark and the Guardians will also be appearing again soon. Chaos is fun :geek_grin:.
