This is a big bundle of small supplements by Ken Hite for the Gumshoe system games from Pelgrane Press:

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/KenWrites

  

About two-thirds of this material has been in previous bundles, the rest is new.

While I'm a fan of Hite's writing, I'm not a huge fan of the Gumshoe system, so mainly use these things as a source of ideas for other games. Right now I'm trying to get a LOT done before the end of the week, month, and year, and can't give them much time, but the price is pretty good and it looks like you're getting a lot for your money. I think it's worth a look.

At the request of (apparently) a lot of people who got Monday's Over the Edge 3E bundle, there's now an extra bundle, the third repeat of the Over the Edge 2nd Edition bundle from 2014. It contains more or less everything published for the classic weird conspiracy RPG Over the Edge, one of my favourites - and if you don't believe me, just ask Tiffany Trilobite!

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2025OTE2E

  


I wasn't on the mailing list for reviewing this stuff in 2014, but when it was repeated in 2017 I said "As may be obvious from my introduction, I like this game - it's strange, weird, and wonderful, and there really isn't anything like it that's anywhere near as good. I already own a lot of this in dead tree format, but I'll certainly be downloading everything I don't have. Considering the original prices this is extremely good value for money - but as usual I have to point out that I get this stuff free if I want it, if you don't your mileage may vary.

Strongly recommended!
"

I should also mention that the last two times this was offered the books weren't added to buyers' Drivethru RPG account, because that part of the Bundle of Holding offers hadn't been set up yet. It has now, so buying the bundle will give you access to any updates etc. later offered via Drivethru, as well as making it easy to get them again if your files go blooey...

Another RPG Bundle - Outgunned

This is an offer of the very popular action/adventure RPG Outgunned from Two Little Mice, an Italian RPG company. All of the material is in English and Italian versions, with high standards of art and design. Many of the characters illustrated are female, and seem to have reasonable amounts of common sense in their costumes, which is usually a good sign. 

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Outgunned

  

The aim of the game is to run fast-moving action adventures in the style of Die Hard, Kingsman, Kill Bill, etc. and it seems to do very well in that respect. I'm led to believe that the superhero rules for the system don't work as well as other aspects, but that's probably just as well, everyone would want to run one...

There's a good recent overview of the system here from James Nicoll, written before this bundle was announced

This is a bundle of the 2019 Third Edition of Jonathan Tweet's RPG Over the Edge, from Atlas Games, possibly THE classic weird science / weird conspiracy RPG

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/OTE3E



This is a comprehensive revision of the system and setting, making big changes to characters, locations, and conspiracies, with huge amounts of weirdness in the introductory adventures alone. Even if you already have tons of material and a long-running campaign based on earlier editions, it's worth getting this just to mess with player expectations and show them that the world doesn't even stay the same sort of weird indefinitely.

As may be obvious, I'm a big fan, and this offer gives you plenty to play with. Definitely recommended!

Forgotten Futures CD-ROM

For some time now my web site has experienced frequent outages due to excessive traffic. As an experiment I've taken the Forgotten Futures CD-ROM zip file off the site. It was by far the biggest file on the site, and it's possible that repeated downloads were causing the problem.

Instead I've uploaded it to archive.org as a zip file, about 658mb - open the link in a new tab or page!

https://archive.org/details/ffcd-8-zip

This takes everything that was on the last release of the CD-ROM plus a lot of extra material that would have been on the next release if there had been one. It won't all fit onto a CD-ROM any more, but if you unzip it into a subdirectory of your hard drive it ought to work well.

Note - Links to Empire of Earth, which would have been Forgotten Futures XII, do not work.

If you run into any other problems please let me know!

This is a bundle of the game Monarchies of Mau, about intelligent "uplifted" cats in a post-human world, from Onyx Path Publishing. It's compatible with an earlier game, Pugmire, about intelligent dogs, which I don't know at all, and includes Squeaks in the Dark, a compatible RPG about intelligent rats. All appear to be based on the OGL rules, e.g. D&D.

This isn't actually a genre that interests me much, but it looks like you're getting a fair amount for your money, and if you're interested it's probably worth a look.
