Welcome to the Bundles, Freebies, and Sales News, a new weekly column at EN World to help 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
The Dungeonmasters Guild offering from Michael Junker Creatures of the Night: Player Character Options is a short volume offering rules and guides to allow players to take on the roles of vampires, werewolves, and other monsters that lurk in the dark.
Also on the DMG, a holiday-themed map with a Feywild theme, the Easter Bunny’s Hideout is a high-resolution map of the Easter Bunny's lair by Alexander Gruber designed for last year’s PWYW adventure Easter Eggs from the Feywild by Christoph Pfitzinger. The map has versions suitable for printing and for virtual tabletops, including one meant for use with dynamic lighting effects.
Over on DriveThruRPG, the title Simple 2 Story Mansion with Dungeon Map does a wonderful job summarizing this pack from MidKnight as it has a two-story mansion map with a hidden dungeon in the cellar. There are versions with and without a grid and with and without legends perfect for printing or use in a VTT.
If there’s one universal in tabletop roleplaying regardless of the game system, it is that the NPC the players are most interested in talking to will always be the one you did absolutely no prep for. Which is where 1d100 Sci-Fi NPCs by Terry Herc comes in. This system-neutral supplement provides tables with five columns – Name, Occupation, Secret, Need, and Demeanor – so you’re never taken off guard when the party wants to avoid the obvious NPCs.
