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!
With the spooky season upon us, it’s time to make sure you’re ready for your horror games. And Knightmap has four modern day maps ready for your horror games. Camping Horror, Forest Horror, House Horror, and Street Horror are all available in 4K JPGs for a 40x30 map with versions with and without grids and mist effects. And if you like these, there’s a collection available with Cornfield Horror with multiple maps of cornfields with different weather effects available for $1.99 (80% off).
Goblin Scrawl Games released The Horned Emperor, a 5e adventure for a party of 4th to 6th level characters. The minotaur king of a long-dead goblinoid empire was sealed in his timb to prevent him from reigning from beyond the grave before being lost to time…until now. The bundle also comes with complete stat blocks for all monsters to cut down on cross-referencing and a VTT-ready map.
You know I love my random table products for their use in brainstorming and quick prep, and Christian Blair has a great one with D100 Desert Encounters & Events. The collection of 100 events vary in complexity and challenge with both combat encounters and random events to use for possible adventure hooks.
Keeping track of consumable items can sometimes be a pain, but Flash Hammer Creative Studios has a solution with the Alchemist Shop – Player Set. This set of ready-to-print cards can be cut out and used to keep track of who has what potion when along with a generic-rules description of their effects (though it may require some adapting for your fantasy RPG system of choice).
Over on DMs Guild, Lucas Romo released Classic Spelljammer Ships which updates over 100 ships from the classic setting for use in 5e. Currently the PDF only includes the stats and weapons for each ship and requires the classic Spelljammer supplements for the descriptions, though the author states they may update the product with the descriptions in the future.
I don’t know why, but for some reason creators on Dungeonmasters Guild seem to run in tends with a lot of related content popping up at the same time. This week, we got a ton of new classes and subclasses from a wide variety of creators. All these titles are Pay What You Want with the suggest price listed at the end.
