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!
Nate Brauner released the horror adventure The Last House on Orchid Street with its own custom rules system with everything needed to play except for d6s and a single d12. “A group of 1950s college students stranded on a desolate country road have no choice but to enter the last house on Orchid Street.”
And if that’s wetted your whistle for one-shot horror games, Campfire RPG has Campus Fear, a one-page TTRPG where the college students return from summer break only to notice something subtly wrong with the university along with guidelines to adapt it to your local school.
ForgottenAdventures wants to help spruce up your VTT online games with a pair of Dungeon Décor Packs: Dungeon Décor Pack 25 with tables and Dungeon Décor Pack 26 full of chairs and sofas. Each one also comes with various pieces for when the party inevitably starts breaking stuff and you need a loose chair leg or broken table.
The solo Twin Peaks-inspired RPG Little Town has a new expansion from Gustavo Coelho, Eldritch Town. As you might guess, the supplement adds more cosmic horror elements to the game along with alternate rules and new random tables.
“I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender!” Well, now you can for Mork Borg with the pugilist class The Contender from WilsonianGames.
Papersmith Workshop has another printable 3D terrain piece for a tavern table and chair that can be printed with a standard 2D paper printer. Just use a craft knife, a ruler, and some glue to craft your own tavern set piece.
Over on Dungeonmasters Guild, Ea Nasir has The Delivery. However, it’s not substandard copper but a beginner-level adventure for a 1st to 4th level party where an archeologist asks the party to deliver a strange, ornate amphora through the woods in a single night.
Honk! Okay, that will be my only goose-related joke for Echidna Design and Paolo Davolio’s Honkland because the product page is full of enough of them. This supplement makes geese as scary as the ex-dinosaurs should be a collection of effects, powers, conditions, spells, magic items, and more all themed around geese.
Jackson Cato released Beyond the Waterfall, a 5th level encounter where the party comes across an abandoned camp next to a waterfall and must solve the mystery or else face the same fate as the previous occupants.
A more subtle and flexible take on the isekai subgenre, the Backgrounds of Farflung 3 from Andrew Fields features a new background for a time traveler. Did you come back (or forward) in time with a purpose to change the future, are you running from something in your past-future, or did you get transported to a different era against your will?
Jess Charle released The Big Bad Wolves, a one-page adventure where the fifth level party must save a young girl from werewolves…but the scene may not be what it appears to be.
If you’re looking for a unique addition to your Ravenloft adventure, Christopher Read released The Legendary Tome of Strahd, a “hand-written” journal from the Dark Lord of Ravenloft with 34 journal entries and over 30 sketches.
Jeff Somogyi released A Case of MisTastin’ Identity where the 7th level party attends the first Great Culinary Fight in over 50 years (don’t ask what happened at the last one) where one of the chefs turns up murdered! And the victim looks suspiciously like one of the party members…can they figure out who committed the deed while impersonating a chef? And more importantly, can they win the contest?
On Storytellers Vault, Lee Singleton has Totems of the Ocean for Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition with fifteen new ocean-based totems for your Rokea slew or Garou pack to interact with.
This week’s Lightning Round features a selection of classes and subclasses for 5e, all of which are either free or pay what you want with the suggested price listed in parentheses.
