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!
D A Caldwell released Severed Roots: A Vaesen Mystery, a stand-alone adventure that can be added to part of an ongoing story. The village of Valby is in desperate trouble as crops are failing, farmers are at each other's throats, and the villagers are slowly packing up and moving away. Is it monster or man that is chasing people from their ancestral homes?
The Manor on the Crimson Coast from V.H.C. Witvliet (Vincye) takes the players to a haunted Victorian mansion overlooking a cursed hamlet, tempted there by a mysterious letter promising gold and glory.
JonzyE released the 5e adventure Below - 0, a horror adventure where a pillar of light erupts from arctic waters, affecting local wildlife to become more violent with horrible physical maledies.
What do your Shadowdark adventurers do between adventures? Nashcraft has a system for that with Professional Income for Shadowdark that simulates earning wages between dungeon delves.
Old School Role Playing has a Cepheus Engine adventure Fill Up that has the Travellers investigate Station GH-341, a station in the Sonora section ready to refuel ships with full-service care 20% less than other competitors. Are the aliens running it out of the goodness of their hearts, or is there something more nefarious going on?
Over on Dungeonmasters Guild, Elfyn E. Evans released Consent Sheet: A Resource for DMs with a checklist of different situations that may come up in your game with a rating of 1 to 5 for players to check to inform you of their preferences and needs for the types of content in the game.
DM Pelli released The Steam Dragon, a one-shot for first level characters are asked to track down stolen magic potions along with a prototype steam cart taken by thieves in the night.
One thing that Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t model very well is the fantasy genre’s trope of named weapons like Sting, Callandor, Graywand, Longclaw, Stormbrigner, and others. That’s where Legacy Weapons from D McG comes in with optional rules for weapons with a history from the bond with the characters wielding them.
Yuriy Shikhanovich released Red Mask Inn, a one-shot designed for characters from 1 to 10 where the party enters a seemingly innocuous tavern only to find themselves trapped and forced to escape from the 10 horrifying rooms.
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.
Bundles and Sales
Note: I have included end dates when listed for the following sales, but please be warned that those without published end dates may end suddenly so be sure to plan purchases accordingly.
Dungeonmasters Guild launched the D&D 50th Anniversary Sale featuring discounts on a wide variety of Dungeons & Dragons Roll20 products including official adventures like Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation and third-party titles like The Ultimate Adventurer’s Handbook and Baldur’s Gate: The Fall of Elturel.
Speaking of Roll20 options, R. Talsorian Games bundled together the Cyberpunk RED core rulebook with the quickstart Easy Mode in both PDF and Roll20 formats for the same price as the PDF alone. Yes, you can get the VTT integration effectively for free with the purchase of the core rulebook.
If you’d rather mix your cyberpunk with 5e rules, RPGGamer has the Cyberpunk Character Classes for 5e Bundle. The bundle does meet its name by including classes like the Corporate Operative, Fixer, Ganger, Street Samurai, Netrunner, and more, it also includes the other books you’ll need for a cyberpunk game like Equipment for the Cyberpunk Era and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Not only do you get the core rules but also the sourcebooks World of Killers for your criminal underworld needs, Outgunned Adventure for tomb raiding into uncharted…Indiana? Can’t work that one in as easily. The sourcebook Action Flicks includes ten more subgenres including space adventure, secret agents, martial arts, and more. And there’s also the Project Medusa campaign with your mission, should you choose to accept it, with three adventures that work alone or as a trilogy of adventures. The bundle includes English and Italian versions.

Vecna Lives, Die Vecna Die, Venca Reborn, Van Richten’s Guide to the Lich, Domains of Dread (covering Vecna’s time in Ravenloft), and the edition-ending The Apocalypse Stone all collected together to give you a massive epic campaign or just some background for Vecna: Eve of Ruin.
