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!
Starting off, we have the Ultimate Reverie Jumpstart from Alb’ for Savage Worlds. This setting book has the rules you need to play in the JRPG-inspired setting along with eight pregens, 17 monsters, and a complete adventure. Just add the Savage Worlds core rules!
Old School Role Playing has a new adventure for the Cepheus Engine (aka Traveller), Corporate Politics. The meek accountant Leo Davies wants to advance in the Mega Corporation in the traditional way – take out the boss and take their position. And he’s willing to pay to help take them out.
Old School Role Playing also has a tool for the Cepheus Engine (though it will work well for any sci-fi setting), 1001 Cargoes for the Frontiers of Space. As the title suggests, it’s a list of various items that can be cargo whether it’s something the group is asked to haul or items hidden in the hold of a pirate ship.
And for more random generation needs, Terry Herc has the 1d100 Sci-Fi Bounty Hunters. This system-neutral has 100 options each for Nickname, Trait, Ship, Quarry, and Quote to quickly generate space bounty hunters for any sci-fi setting.
Zotiquest Games released the second edition of Loner, a solo roleplaying game based on Freeform Universal. The minimalist rules work for any genre and setting using only two pairs of dice, complete with tips, diagrams, and examples to jump in immediately.
Avast! F.B. Knauder has a one-shot RPG Rum & Bones featuring – and I’m just going to quote the description because this sums it up perfectly – “a bunch of drunk pirates with rum-fueled super powers looking for treasure.”
If you need a post-apocalyptic settlement for a specific 2d20 System game that is not particularly named here, Joseph Kellogg has the NPC Settlement Rules supplement. Random settlement generation, settlement statistics, random encounters, rules for designing custom settlements, prices for goods and services, and more. (Fallout. This is for Fallout. They can’t say it’s for Fallout because there’s not an open license for Fallout since it’s a licensed game, but this is for Fallout.)
Over on Dungeonmasters Guild, Andrew Fields released Tome of the Treenest, a book of rare spells created by wizards around the Farflung world. This first volume covers utility spells to create a magical hiding place, a low-level variant of the teleportation circle, and a spell to create poisons and toxins.
Tom Flynn has a new entry in the Campaign Location Series, The Stumble Inn. This readymade location is fully fleshed out with descriptions of each room, detailed characters, and a full menu with prices ready to be dropped into any fantasy game.
For those looking to add more depth to Curse of Strahd, Michael Byrant released a collection of adventure hooks to help engage players from the moment they arrive in Barovia and give them strong reasons to get involved with the story.
And for those looking to run heist-based games like the adventures in Keys from the Golden Vault, Blake Benson has Oh Boy! It’s Time for Crime: DM’s Guide for Heist-Centric Play. This collection of rules expansions and alternate rules will make running heists deeper and more rewarding with changes to stealth, loot generators, simplified encumbrance mechanics, rules for one-hit-kills for stealth assassinations, and more.
Set in the bustling city of Raven’s Rest, the Curse of the Sunken Tower from okaymedia is an adventure for 1st to 3rd level characters that sends them to investigate a sunken tower to discover its mysteries.
Samuel Bouchard released The Mad Leper Presents – The Summoner, a full new summoner class. Summoners use the Mystic Calling mechanic (similar to Eldritch Invocations and Artificer Infusions) to strengthen their summoned creatures along with three subclasses: The Binder, The Collector, and The Thaumaturgist.
And we have a new bardic subclass from T. D. Anderson for the College of Prophecy. These seers and spinners of the thread of fate serve as guides, teachers, advisors, or soothsayers.
Over on Storytellers Vault, Peter V. released an updated version of the Presence Discipline. This 15-page supplement for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition adds optional rules for Discipline Banes & Bonuses, redefines aspects to reduce vagueness, advice for which abilities are LARP-friendly, and more.
Bundles and Sales

Steve Jackson Games collected a bundle for The Fantasy Trip. The bundle features the core rulebooks The Fantasy Trip: Melee and The Fantasy Trip: Wizard along with a pair of adventures that can be run normally or without a GM, Death Test and Death Test 2.
In yet another “I’m not gonna try to count all those” sized bundle, we have the 2nd Anniversary Bundle on the Dungeonmasters Guild. Seriously, I lost count around 30 in this bundle of Forgotten Realms adventures, subclasses, map collections, and more.
Franz Bedonia released Snow Ice, an adventure for Tier 2 characters that sees them presented with a contract with magical study that transports them to a mysterious tower in the Feywild they must escape. This bundle includes the PDF for the adventure and the Roll20 VTT-ready files.
CZRPG collected several map collections in the Bearworks Country Map Bundle. Great for fantasy games or contemporary settings in a rural area, the bundle includes the Country Cabin Map, Country Chapel Map, Country Crossroads Map, and Country Vineyard Map.
