The top tier, however, includes every single book published for Star Trek Adventures so far including the Federation-Klingon War Tactical Campaign, Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook, crew packs and campaign guides for The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, The Animated Series, Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks, map tile sets, the Gamma Quadrant and Delta Quadrant sourcebooks, and the TTRPG exclusive campaign setting Shackleton Expanse.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Price: $1/$15/$25 (94% off at top tier)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Charity: Girls Who Code (user-defined, default 5%)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">End Date: September 7, 2024</li> </ul>The video game bundle <a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/games/beamdog-owlcat-rpg-masters?partner=gamerstavern" target="_blank">Beamdog & Owlcat RPG Masters</a> is of interest to TTRPG players as it includes licensed titles from some of the biggest TTRPGs out there.
