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!
The newest Star Trek Adventures Briefs is here, this one titled Beneath the Raptor’s Wings. As you might guess from the title, this collection of 10 one-page adventures chronicles the Federation-Romulan War and is set during the Star Trek Enterprise era (though can be adjusted for other time periods).
Modiphius also has a new supplement for Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, the miniature skirmish game with its own RPG mode (not to be confused with Fallout The Roleplaying Game which is the 2d20 System RPG based on Fallout). Fallout: Wasteland Warfare v1.5 Vault-Tec Simulator is a 56-page rulebook for the game including everything you need to start playing plus a collection of scenarios to play through and stat blocks for major factions and character types from the wasteland.
R Talsorian Games released a compilation Cyberpunk RED Free DLC 2020 & 2021 collecting over a dozen supplements for Cyberpunk RED from new items, new weapons, conversion guides for previous editions, pre-generated characters and NPCs, worldbuilding essays, optional rules, and a lot more.
If you’re a Cyberpunk fan, you can also grab Mixing Drinks – Changing Lives, a non-canon supplement inspired by the video game VA-11 HALL-A, a dialogue-focused RPG about a cyberpunk bartender mixing drinks. Get stat blocks for the characters, new gear and cyberware, a full Drinktionary, and more.
Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition has the new science fiction sourcebook Voidrunner’s Codex coming to Kickstarter very soon, and EN Publishing has a preview of the introductory chapter of the book. Find out more about the new book and what it can do for your games, then sign up for notifications when the Kickstarter goes live.
Tacitus Publishing released Faces of Clay, an 8th-level Pathfinder 1st Edition encounter about a band of brownies who have taken over a farm after the young family there tragically died and are using the farm’s clay golem to help tend the land and milk the cow. Also available for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.
Victor Gordillo González posted Carmine, a d20-based tabletop RPG that strikes a balance between “ordinary people thrust into the adventuring life” and “fantasy superheroes”. The 121-page book includes all the rules you need to play including character creation, bestiary, game rules, support material for gamemasters, an introductory adventure, and more.
With summer coming up, it’s time for day camp programs and planning lessons for the next school year. Making it a perfect time for the release of Daniel Lehto AB’s Playing Roleplaying Games with Kids featuring guidelines for introducing kids used to board games to RPGs, how to play narrator for a game, and other activities that can be combined with RPGs like coloring pictures of their characters and creating paper figures.
Daniel Lehto AB also released an adventure for Dragonbane titled The Vacant Throne designed for young players. Princess Ina’s parents have disappeared from Morning Star Castle, but Ina has no intention of becoming queen. Instead, she sets off to find her parents. But someone has to sit on the throne, right? Also available in Swedish.
Dungeon Age Adventures released Tomb of the Blood Baron for 5e, Old-School Essentials, and Cairn. The low-level party is sent to deal with a tomb full of vampires and their thralls to recover the priceless art, exotic wines, and more.
Primastic Wasteland seems to have something to say with their system-neutral adventure Wonky Willie’s Authentic Interactive Extravaganza. Inspired by recent events, the party is sent on an interactive experience in a Glasgow warehouse inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but designed by algorithmic generation aka “AI”. Hijinks ensue. No “AI” was used in the generation of this adventure except as the target of much ridicule.
From The OG GM Adventures, we have a nightmare of a setting for any fantasy D20 RPG called A Fistful of Goblins. What makes this so terrifying? Goblins. With guns. Yes, this is a weird science and weird west setting for D&D, Pathfinder, OSR, and other similar systems taking place in Fresno, Nevada, detailed over 70 pages along with a starter adventure.
The Wonderful World of Darklords podcast is back with another Disney-inspired Domain of Dread for Ravenloft with Wanda’s Vision inspired by the Marvel show in an idyllic small town with comedic schemes to avoid consequences from misunderstandings and miscommunications with hijinks ensuing always ending on a laugh and a freeze frame…except nobody is in control of their own fate.
Café Arcane has Less Familiar Familiars, a sourcebook with new options for familiars to make them more versatile and provide guidelines for reskinning exiting familiar creatures and expanding the list of available familiars.
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.
