Green Ronin has a "Romantasy for the Holidays" sale on at the moment for the excellent Blue Rose RPG and associated adventures, novels and so on. It's a bit of an oddity in that it's on Backerkit but all of the items are in stock, they just won't ship until the middle of December.
As far as I can see there's nothing new apart from a Blue Rose ornament.
The splendid Blue Rose RPG is on offer at the moment in PDF, well under a fiver:

Ah just remembered this and the band version is just too good to leave out.

Considering some of the various optional rules in Green Ronin's AGE games, to see what might enhance play in Blue Rose or Modern AGE. It's nice to have a broadly common system connecting the different RPGs, but it does unfortunately mean that new rules appear in one place, then get adopted elsewhere in a tweaked and renamed version (Peril! A new addition to Fantasy AGE in the second edition. Originally appeared in The Expanse, where it was called Churn. Also cropped up in the Modern AGE Companion, but there it was called Complications… This happens a lot).
Some really interesting rules and ideas, but working out how they interact isn't as easy as it might be. Right now, for instance, I'm thinking of using the Fortune option—a sort of limited plot immunity—in place of traditional hit points in Blue Rose… but how does that work with Blue Rose's Conviction system, which can recover hit points? My fuzzy brain means it takes a while for the possible contradictions to resolve and make sense.
I'm not sure that all six emails informing me of this eBay order's progress to my door were *strictly* necessary, but it's here now. Mind you, buying it in the first place was not strictly necessary, as the PDF version is free and still easily available, but this printed copy from the Free RPG Day 2021 is beautifully produced and and a little easier to read for me.
Another DriveThruRPG sale is running. Not everything is included, but there are reasonable savings on PDFs of some Blue Rose books, particularly the core rulebook and the Aldis city guide. I've been reading this one more closely recently and it's very good, despite an occasional tendency to give some characters and locations very Ye Olde Fantasye Gayme names (Bitter-Fang Mountains! Tangle Wood! The Scatterstar Archipelago, for heaven's sake!).
