Welcome to the Bundles, Freebies, and Sales News, the weekly column at EN World that helps make sure you don’t miss out on big tabletop RPG bundles, charity fundraisers, and sales from around the internet.
Freebies and Pay What You Want
Note: While “Pay What You Want” downloads are available for free, please support the creators if you are able!
A new superhero RPG prowls the streets with power scaling from common civilians to god-like beings. What could this new heroic game be called? KAPOW! The TTRPG! From Off the Books, this 70-page rulebook includes all the rules you need to explore the adventures of your own spandex-and-cape superheroes.
While many other games focus on an apocalypse, the new game from thiagogomes is all about the apocalypse. Apocalypse RPG is set during the Biblical Apocalypse as you try to survive a world under the Reign of the Beast.
Aeronauts of the spirit released A Secret Buried, a solo system-agnostic round robin RPG for any fantasy setting. “A bloodthirsty bountyhunter and his band of sadistic cutthroats spread terror over the village of St Ellen. Yet, something darker stirs in the nearby Dill Woods...”
In Happy Campers from Sam Clark, your application to be a counselor at Muddybrook Camp has been accepted! Enjoy your summer of adventure that in no way takes place on a campground with a mysterious past and a stalking figure hunting you and the other counselors down one by one… This adventure is compatible with SLASH! – The Horror Movie RPG or its playtest guide.
Paddy’s Parlor Games released Mutants!, a d10 skirmish game set on a post-apocalyptic world of nomadic gangs warring for control of the wasteland.
A long time ago, a battle called The Rift War broke out, yet there is no public knowledge of it. No textbooks, no history classes, no memorials for the fallen. Yet this war managed to shape the very foundation of the City of Mist.
Myth-forged Games seeks to make your Dragonbane game more personalized with Alternate Rules for Dragonbane. Mix and match the new rules for point-buy character creation, goal-oriented advancement, phased-based initiative, alternate armor rules, and make the game exactly what you want.
Over on Dungeonmasters Guild, Gavin Bastiensz released Stoned!, a one-shot adventure for 3rd to 5th level characters. A new drug sweeps through the streets almost like a plague with a body count in its trail as you’re tasked with tracking down the source.
Gavin Bastiensz also has The Toymaker’s House, a 3rd level adventure taking place in the weathered façade of the Toymaker’s house which promises rewards and riches to those brave enough to explore.
Elliot Morris also has a 3rd level adventure with Passing Muster, a low-stakes adventure where the party encounters an armed encampment at an essential mountain pass denying entry to all travelers.
On Storytellers Vault, DrTehtacles released Fragments of Plague, a supplement for Exalted 3rd Edition with rules for disease and medicine including 7 new Solar Medicine Charms, 3 new Natural Diseases, 4 new Supernatural Diseases, and more.
The first Lightning Round this week features gamemaster/DM resources like monsters, maps, random generators, one-page adventures, drop-in encounters, and more. All products are Free or pay what you want with the suggested price in parentheses.
The second Lightning Round features player resources like classes, subclasses, backgrounds, feats, races/species, and more. All products are Free or pay what you want with the suggested price in parentheses.
