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!
Modiphius released another roleplay scenario packet for Fallout: Wasteland Warfare titled The Dawn of the Mothman. Now I have to give the explanation again because even though this is labeled “Modiphius 2d20”, this is not for the Fallout Roleplaying Game that uses the 2d20 System. This is for the roleplaying add-on for the Fallout Wasteland Warfare miniature skirmish wargame. Get ready for the wasteland of Appalachia as this book provides stats, rules, unit cards, profiles, weapons, items, and more for the new units Mothman Clergy, Mothman Followers, and the Mothman Eclipse.f
However, Modiphius did give us one supplement for a 2d20 System game – Star Trek Adventures Briefs 019: Space Megafauna. This collection of ten one-page missions for the TNG era focus on the unique life in the galaxy like giant space leviathans, nebula-sized bacteria swarms, and more.
R. Talsorian Games released the introductory rules book for their new system Shadow Scar – Eyes in the Darkness. Pick up an introduction to the new Mosaic System, the lore of the Shadow Scar Agency, six pre-generated characters, and the adventure Eyes in the Darkness.
Minki Kim released Undying Corruption 5e Player’s Guide, a new setting inspired by Korean culture, myths, and legends. The 128-page book includes one new subclass for each core class (12 total), a new full class for the mounted combat commander The Tactician, six new playable races, optional combat rules, a new setting based on medieval Korea, and more. Also available in Korean.
It’s not surprising with the popularity of the manga and anime Delicious in Dungeon (or Dungeon Meshi) we’re getting more supplements about fine dining within a dungeon, and Taylor Lane wants to bring that inspiration to OSR with How to Eat a Monster with new rules for eating monsters.
Blackbrew released their new OSR-inspired rules system Blackblood Expanded Rulebook featuring a simple D20 system inspired by Hankerin Ferinale’s ICRPG.
And if d6 systems are more your style, Blackbrew also has Glass Gambit Core Ruleset that boasts a “lightning-fast, high-pressure, d6 TTRPG that requires on-the-fly strategy and creativity as soon as the action starts.”
Stephen Dosman has the setting book The Ways of Blood, Magic, and Spirit for the Forbidden Lands system by Free League. This setting includes more than 30 Locations and Adventure Sites, NPC relationship maps for 30 significant NPCs with stats, rules adjustments for the dark age setting, a setting guide describing the world inspired by the Christianization of the Gaelic regions of Europe, and more.
Over on Dungeonmasters Guild, Thomas and Rachel Kolar are back with another Disney-inspired Domain of Dread with Davy Jones Locker, inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
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.

There’s one more day left in Heroic Maps celebration of their anniversary with the Heroic Maps Sale. Not only can you get discounts on a wide variety of their VTT maps, but you can also pick up a couple of bundles at incredibly low prices – the Unique Locations bundle for $14.82 and the Classic Locations bundle for $17.59.

And what are streets for if not going to places so Arcadia’s Creations also has the Modern Shops & Stores bundle with a fast food restaurant, gun store, gas station, supermarket, and more.
Charity Bundles and Sales

The Funky Collection includes the core Spirit of ’77 rulebook, the setting book Wide World of ’77, and the adventure anthologies Spirit of ’77 Greatest Hits 1-2.

Over on Humble Bundle, Kobold Press, Frog God Games, and Humble Bundle have the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatible Bundle with a collection of third party products for Pathfinder 1st Edition. When I say this bundle is huge, I mean HUGE. The base level starts out with 28 items while the second level expands that to 56, the penultimate tier to 74, and the top tier includes all the rest but also the 69 titles from the previous Classic Pathfinder Megabundle from last year for a total of ONE HUNDRED FORTY-THREE titles including adventures, campaign settings, alternate rules, classes, races, magic items, and everything else you’d expect from the most prolific of third-party Pathfinder publishers collecting over a decade of products.
Chaosium has the RuneQuest Roleplaying in Glorantha Bundle with everything you need to get started with RuneQuest. The base level will give you a taste with the RuneQuest Starter Set and the quickstart “Broken Tower Scenario” plus The Glorantha Sourcebook and The RuneQuest Coloring Book. If you want to jump into the game properly, the second tier adds on RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha Core Rules, Glorantha Bestiary, Weapons & Equipment, The Red Book of Magic, and Argar Argar Atlas. The top tier gives you a full library of 18 books adding on nine more including the Cults of RuneQuest series, the gamemaster screen, and more setting and rules books.
The Maps Extravaganza Bundle has been extended one more time with software tools to help you create your own maps. The first level gives you two map collections and a token collection worth grabbing even if you don’t want to make your own maps. The fun starts with the second tier with a one year license to Campaign Cartographer 3+ along with the book Tome of Ultimate Mapping so you can create your own fantasy maps for personal use or in your published commercial products along with Perspectives 3 software which offers map creation with an isometric perspective. The third tier adds on additional resources like Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans, Source Maps: Castles, and Source Maps: Temples, Tombs, and Catacombs. The top tier upgrades your Campaign Cartographer 3+ license to lifetime license and also gets you the City Designer 3 and Dungeon Designer 3 software so you have all the tools you need to make any sort of RPG map you can think of.
