Bundle of Holding - Fragged Empire 2E


I have the First Edition of Fragged Empire, and it vaguely feels like Rifts with better rules. Am I allowed to say that? ;(

The Fragged Empire 2e Bundle is $19.95 on Bundle of Holding.

Adventurer! This all-new Fragged Empire 2E Bundle presents the 2024 revised edition of Fragged Empire, Wade Dyer's post-post apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game from Design Ministries of fractured space and divided species. Fifteen thousand years in the future, humanity has gone extinct, but eight engineered species rule the wonders that remain. A century after the Nephilim and their X'ion master successfully defeated the Archons and their servile nations, your ragtag band of misfits rides the Ley Lines (ruptures in space that power both jump drives and psionic powers) to rebuild a galaxy devastated by factional politics, ancient grudges, and slumbering evils.

Funded in a spectacular March 2022 Kickstarter campaign, this Second Edition of Fragged Empire adds pre-war history, more systems to explore, and deeper dives into the setting's unique species and cultures. Slimmed-down mechanics and intuitive rules open the game to new players and gamemasters. The sprawling Fragged setting inspires adventures out of Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, and Farscape, with themes of cultural tension and transhumanism seen in modern space opera writers like Ann Leckie, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Arkady Martine.

This new Fragged 2E Bundle gives you everything you need to build new nations and a better future – a really far future. For just US$19.95 you get all seven titles in our Fragged Collection (retail value $90) as DRM-free ebooks, including all three Fragged Empire Second Edition corebooks: Rules, the Setting Guide, and the Location Guide (plus the Archetypes supplement); two adventures – Eat Cake and Magician's Choice; and a rules-light high-action variant, RAG-TAG.

Bundle of Holding - Hostile (Cepheus Engine Deep Space Horror RPG)


I've enjoyed reading through Mothership, and now I want to check out Hostile!

Adventurer! Name notwithstanding, this Hostile Bundle, resurrected (for a second time!) from April 2022, is a friendly offer of the tabletop science-fiction roleplaying game of deep-space alien horror, Hostile from Zozer Games. Based on the Cepheus Engine rules (closely modeled on Classic Traveller), Hostile is a gritty retro-future setting inspired by movies like Outland, Blade Runner, and Alien – a universe of harsh planets and toxic atmospheres – claustrophobic space freighters and brutal industrial colonies – ancient horrors entombed on icy moons – killer ETs, perfectly evolved to survive at any cost. Whether you're a combat-weary veteran or a miner on a grungy corporate star tug deep in the Extraction Zones, Hostile pits you against deadly hazards in an unforgiving void where no one can hear you scream.

This revived April 2022 offer gives you a new chance to get much of the Hostile line for an unbeatable bargain price – an obviously generous and well-meaning gesture. For just US$9.95 you get all five titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $48) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete standalone Hostile Rules and Setting core books, the Gunlocker weapons guide (it'll come in handy, trust us), the Cepheus Handouts, and the Referee's Screen.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $20.36, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with eight more titles worth an additional $56 that let you build out your pitiless universe:

  • Three guides to survival on bad worlds that don't want you: Explorers, Dirtside, and Colony Builder
  • Two bestiaries about entities that really, really do want you: Alien Breeds and Synthetics
  • Two hardware and vehicle guides: Gunboats & Shuttles and Marine Corps Handbook 2215
  • A campaign framework well described by its title: Crew Expendable

Bundle of Holding - TinyZine (TinyD6 Zine)


I really enjoy the Tiny D6 system. I think I'll be picking up this TinyZine Bundle.

Adventurer! This new TinyZine Bundle gathers PDF ebooks of the complete four-year run of TinyZine, the tabletop roleplaying magazine from Gallant Knight Games that supports the streamlined minimalist TinyD6 rules system. Collected in four Compendium volumes, these 44 digital issues present more than 800 pages of new heritages, adventures, and optional rules for TinyD6 games like Tiny Dungeon, Frontiers, Wastelands, Pirates, Living Dead, and more – the games we're presenting right now (what a coincidence!) in our revived April 2023 Tiny Dungeon Megabundle in progress.

For just $12.95, you get all four complete compilations in our TinyZine Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free ebooks, including TinyZine Compendium 2018 (previously in our September 2020 TinyD6 Worlds), 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Bundle of Holding - Tiny Dungeon Mega




I really like the Tiny D6 series of rulesets. They are deep enough to run exciting sessions, yet simple enough to grasp easily and quickly. Another game that is great for conventions.

With the Tiny Dungeon MEGA Bundle, for $19.95, you get Tiny Dungeon (love this ruleset), Tiny Wastelands (post-apoc), Tiny Frontiers (sci-fi), Tiny Pirates (as it says on the tin), and Tiny Gunslingers. If you up the price to about $35, you also get Advanced Tiny Dungeon, Tiny Taverns + A La Carte, Mecha & Monsters: Evolved, Tiny Cthulhu (own - pretty cool take on Mythos), Tiny Spies, and Tiny Living Dead.

No affiliate link - just cool stuff.

Humble Bundle - The Witcher RPG



I'm a fan of The Witcher. Enjoyed the CRPG, had fun with the Netflix series (especially the first season), love the comic adaptations, and simply enjoy reading the lore. Will I ever play The Witcher RPG? Likely not, as I don't see my regular group going for it, but I'm game to play as a player :)

Humble Bundle currently has The Witcher RPG as a $15 bundle.

Evil is evil—and great games are great games. Pay what you want to explore The Continent like never before. Will you fight with strength and valor like Geralt of Rivia? Or forge your own path as an elf, dwarf, gnome, werebbubb, or vran, and set off on unknown adventures with your party. Get the The Witcher Tabletop RPG core rulebook, the The Witcher: Tome of Chaos campaign, and more for a price you choose. Spare a coin and help support the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals with your purchase.

Bundle of Holding - The Expanse & Modern AGE



Disregard the fact that Green Ronin has been running a GoFundMe to pay for a lawyer in the Diamond Distributors Bankruptcy case (hint - it ain't going to help). The fact is, the AGE System, introduced with the Dragon Age RPG, is a decent system. Additionally, The Expanse is a setting full of gaming. Literally a Win-Win.

Adventurer! We've resurrected (for a third time!) our December 2020 Modern AGE and Expanse RPG Bundlefeaturing The Expanse Roleplaying Game based on James S. A. Corey's mega-popular science fiction novels of diplomacy, danger, and discovery in the future Solar System. This bargain-priced revival also includes Modern AGE, which adapts the same rules for high-power action from the Industrial Revolution onward. Both these tabletop roleplaying games use the easy and fast-playing Adventure Game Engine (AGE) from Green Ronin Publishing. You have a new chance to get everything you need for your own campaign of modern adventure or high-flying hard sf.

For just US$17.95 you get all six titles in this revived offer's Modern Collection (retail value $85) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Modern AGE Basic Rulebook and the Modern AGE Companion; the cross-dimensional campaign setting Threefold; Enemies & Allies for Threefold and other Modern AGE games; the adventure Missions: Warflower; and the Modern AGE Game Master's Kit.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $33.19, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Expanse Collection with five more titles worth an additional $80, including the complete standalone The Expanse Roleplaying Game core rulebook, The Expanse Game Master's Kit, the scenarios Abzu's Bounty and Salvage Op, and – newly added in this revival! – Ships of the Expanse, the 144-page guide to every kind of spacefaring vehicle in the Solar System. And if you purchased this offer during any of its three previous runs, you get the newly added Ships of the Expanse automatically on your Wizard's Cabinet download page and in your linked DriveThruRPG Library. When you buy a Bundle of Holding early, you never worry about missing a title added later – even much later.

Bundle of Holding - GURPS 4e Essentials Bundle


I always liked GURPS, even if the rest of my gaming group wasn't as enthralled. Before the internet, GURPS supplements were some of the best-researched gaming material (or otherwise) available.

The GURPS 4e Core Collection is $19.95 on Bundle of Holding, the 4e Essentials Bonus is a hair over $40 as I type this.

Adventurer! We've extended this revival of our June 2022 GURPS 4E Essentials Bundle featuring GURPS, the Generic Universal RolePlaying System from Steve Jackson Games. With the GURPS tabletop roleplaying rules you can be anyone you want: an elf fighting for the forces of good, a spy on a deep-cover mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword, or literally anything else. For more than three decades GURPS has been supported with hundreds of supplements and sourcebooks. This second revival gives you a new chance to get .PDF ebooks of all the important rules and supplements you need to get started with the Fourth Edition (2004) of one of the longest-lasting and best-supported universal systems in the hobby.

For just US$19.95 you get all six titles in this revived June 2022 offer's 4E Core Collection (retail value $95) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete two-volume GURPS 4E Basic Set – Characters and Campaigns – plus Template Toolkit 1 - Characters, Adaptations, How to Be a GURPS GM, and the GURPS GM's Screen.

And if you pay more than this revival's threshold price of $40.09, you'll also get this offer's entire 4E Essentials Bonus with five more supplements worth an additional $109, including High-Tech (plus its High-Tech Weapon Tables), Ultra-Tech (plus its Ultra-Tech Weapon Tables), Bio-Tech, Low-Tech, and Mass Combat.

Bundle of Holding - Advanced Adventures MEGA (OSR/OSRIC Adventures)


The current Advanced Adventures MEGA Bundle on Bundle of Holding is a solid choice for OSR gamers and DMs. I'd jump on it myself, but I own it all in compiled print editions. That being said, there's a TON of adventuring for about a buck and adventure or less.

Adventurer! We've resurrected our January 2023 Advanced Adventures Megabundle featuring .PDF ebooks of nearly four dozen short, ready-to-play tabletop fantasy roleplaying adventure modules in the long-running Advanced Adventures line from Expeditious Retreat Press. These 43 short scenarios – dungeon crawls inspired by the earliest versions of Dungeons & Dragons – show off the Old School Revival style: tools, not plotlines; rulings, not rules; a gamemaster who doesn't railroad players onto a prearranged script but lets them sink or swim through their own actions. Encounters aren't necessarily "balanced," and outcomes are seldom scripted. Characters who don't use their heads usually wind up losing them.

Designed for the open-license OSRIC system (the "Old School Reference & Index Compilation," a free retroclone of First Edition AD&D), these Advanced Adventures modules adapt easily to any Old School fantasy RPG such as Old-School Essentials or Shadowdark, and they fit smoothly in your ongoing campaign to let your player characters ramp from level-1 zeroes to level-10 heroes.

For just US$9.95 you get all twelve titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free ebooks, including the first ten AA modules – from #01: The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom through #10: The Lost Keys of Solitude – and we add the 2009 bestiary Malevolent and Benign I and the free OSRIC rulebook. For a list of all the modules with links to their sales pages on DriveThruRPG, see the first book entry below, "Advanced Adventures #01-10."

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $35.13, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with thirty-four more titles worth an additional $210: 33 more Advanced Adventures modules from #11: The Conqueror Worm through #43 The Warrens of Zagash, and hitting many highlights of the AA line including #15: Stonesky Delve, #23: Down the Shadowvein and #24: The Mouth of the Shadowvein, and both White Dragon Run scenarios. (For the list and the DTRPG links, see the fourth book entry below, "Advanced Adventures #11-43.") We also include the 2018 Malevolent and Benign II monster manual.

Bundle of Holding - Pyramid Collections


I was a fan of the early print version of Pyramid and later subscribed to the digital version for several years. It was more than just a Steve Jackson Games house organ, but was an excellent resource for other RPGs with its systemless articles.

Bundle of Holding has Two Bundles of Pyramid, both priced at $49.95 each.

Adventurer! This Pyramid Bundle 1 is the first of two offers (the second is the new companion offer, Pyramid Bundle 2) featuring Volume 3 (Nov 2008 - Dec 2018) of Pyramid, the Steve Jackson Games magazine for tabletop roleplaying gamers. Each issue of Pyramid magazine focuses on a specific theme, like fantasy world-building or epic magic – the whole range of prehistory, historical and modern exploration, steampunk, cyberpunk, aliens and spaceships – martial arts, action adventures, and gunplay – weird science, urban fantasy, psionics and thaumatology – and it wouldn't be a Steve Jackson Games magazine (fnord) without a roster of conspiracies. Each issue is about 39-40 pages, so the 60 issues in this offer bring you nearly 2,400 pages of varied gaming articles for a bargain price. Most of Pyramid's articles are either generic, suitable for your game system of choice, or designed for GURPS, SJG's Generic Universal Roleplaying System. (New to GURPS? Check our revived June 2022 GURPS 4E Essentials offer in progress.)

Pyramid magazine Volume Three Issue 59 ConspiraciesFor just US$49.95 you get all sixty-two titles in our Pyramid V3 - First Collection (retail value $556) as DRM-free ebooks. The complete list of Pyramid issues in this offer – the first 60 issues of Volume 3 (Nov 2008 - Oct 2013), with links to their sales pages on DriveThruRPG – appears in the book entry below. (On DriveThruRPG, Steve Jackson Games has posted a free 282-page compilation previewing the covers and contents of all 60 Pyramid issues in this offer.) We also include SJG's two collections of star designer Kenneth Hite's acclaimed Pyramid column of history, alt-history, occult conspiracy, fringe pseudoscience, and High Weirdness, Suppressed Transmission (both previously in our November 2020 Worldbuilder's Toolkit 7).

Bundle of Holding - His Majesty the Worm



I see His Majesty the Worm Bundle as an aspirational purchase. I doubt I'll play it as is, but I hope to find parts that I can use with other OSR rule sets and future campaigns. For those purposes, 14.95 is a bargain.

Adventurer! This His Majesty the Worm Bundle presents His Majesty the Worm, a megadungeon-crawling fantasy roleplaying game from Josh McCrowell at Rise Up Comus. The Underworld blasphemes the earth under the City at the center of the world. You and your guild-mates have personal quests that compel them to step through the gate into those lightless depths. If you fulfill your quests, you can finally retire. Until then – in the cycle of descent, exploration, return, restock, rest – all that protects you is your Bonds of loyalty, rivalry, mentorship, and even love. Play them to the hilt, and you might survive

His Majesty the Worm page 26Eight years in the making, His Majesty the Worm reimagines the traditional dungeon crawl in a highly playable structure that spotlights the necessities of Underworld exploration: food, light, time, and the allies who keep you alive. Use tarot cards to generate the City, Underworld, characters, and monsters, and to run an action-packed Challenge system that ensures all players have interesting choices throughout every round of combat. With this .PDF rulebook you'll see why the Exalted Funeral His Majesty the Worm hardcover sold out in three hours.

Pay just US$14.95 for our Worm Collection (retail value $58) with DRM-free .PDF ebooks of the complete 411-page His Majesty the Worm rulebook, along with the cozy halfling-village game Under Hill, By Water and its travel expansion Walking Holiday.

Bundle of Holding - Fantasy Age 2e



The first time I saw the system that became Fantasy Age was the adaptation of Dragon Age from console RPG to TTRPG, and I was impressed with what I saw and read. A very playable, not too crunchy, classic-feeling fantasy RPG.

I haven't checked out Fantasy Age 2e yet, but I am tempted to after I return from Central NY Con early next week...

Adventurer! This all-new Fantasy AGE 2E Bundle presents the 2023 Second Edition of Fantasy AGE, the tabletop fantasy roleplaying game based on the Adventure Game Engine from Green Ronin Publishing. With the easy-to-learn, flexible Fantasy AGE system you can create a character in minutes, pull off heroic stunts, cast worldshaking spells from 19 mix-and-match arcana, and fine-tune your campaign with optional Peril, Daring, Fortune, and Horror rules. And if you know other AGE system RPGs like The Expanse, Dragon Age, Cthulhu Awakens, Blue Rose, and Modern AGE, you already know how to play Fantasy AGE – all the basic systems are the same.

Techno-Fantasy supplement for Fantasy Age Second EditionFor just US$19.95 you get all seven titles in our Fantasy AGE 2E Collection (retail value $88) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete full-color 290-page Fantasy AGE 2E Core Rulebook, plus the Second Edition Game Master's Toolkit, the VTT Token Pack, and the free Quickstart; Technofantasy; and three 2E adventures: Lair of the Horned Giant, Menace of the Grave Warrens, and Return to the Valley of the Whispering Titans.

Bundle of Holding - OSE Treasures 2


I missed yesterday's blog post, what with traveling to Dallas for NTRPG Con and the fiasco that was last night's livestream. Ah well. I'll see if I can keep current going forward.

Today, we are highlighting OSE Treasures 2 at Bundle of Holding. This bundle includes the recently Kickstarted dark fantasy setting The Shrike (currently $29 on DTRPG). Hey! Buy The Shrike at a discount and get more stuff included in the $84 valued bundle :)

A huge modular sandbox adventure setting in an abandoned fragment of Hell- a colossal blade dedicated to punishing a nameless God. The Shrike, is a heaven-harrowing thorn, a black iron mountain with serrated spires of rock and rust, that pierces the heart of the God, causing divine blood to flow and nourish life within the corroded iron and stone megastructure. The Shrike is written by Leo Hunt (the author of Vaults of Vaarn and mounds of excellent gaming material) for Old School Essentials RPG but works well for your other d20 based fantasy systems of choice.

The Shrike is a world of decay - rusted iron, crumbling stone, saltwater, blood, and fog - surrounded by a roiling ocean, a lifeless archipelago, pewter-hued clouds, seabirds, and pitiless stars. In this infernal Galapagos, players will encounter masked Devils, blood which gives life to things which should not have it, stones which give life to people who do not want it, terrible and stranded monsters, perilous locations, and wonderous treasures from across the planes.

What's Inside?

  • 46 unique pointcrawl locations across the Shores of the Shrike, its fiery Guts, jagged snow capped Exterior, and procedurally generated depth-crawl in the surreal shifting interior of the it's heaven-harrowing Barb. 
  • 3 detailed and keyed dungeons including the waterlogged Cove of Iron Coffins, the derelict Gamigin's Starforge, and an endless masquerade ball in The Palace of the Heart, ranging from low to high level.
  • 5 scheming factions of the diabolic Courts and mountains of detailed NPC's
  • 3 new classes. From the shapeshifting Imp, to the Forged and Rampant Partials; made from the God's blood animating detritus and abandoned objects- molded into demon designed bodies or left to grow wild and feral.
  • 40+ new monsters from the eyegouger finch to the auric homunculus.
  • 37 brand new peculiar magic items 
  • 1 Nameless God impaled upon the Shrike's heaven-harrowing thorn, writhing and seeking escape.

Bundle of Holding - Sine Nomine Corebooks


I am a HUGE fan of Kevin Crawford's works. When I look at the titles in this collection, I own all of them - in Print AND PDF. It is simply great stuff, and the quality speaks for itself.

Sine Nomine Coorebooks is currently available as a bundle on Bundle of Holding. The Starter Collection @ 12.95 includes Stars Without Number Revised Deluxe (Sci Fi), Other Dust (Post Apoc), Spears of the Dawn (African Fantasy), and Cities Without Number: Free (Cyberpunk and freely available outside this bundle)

For about 26 bucks total, you get to add in Worlds Without Number Deluxe Edition (Fantasy), Wolves of God: Adventures in Dark Ages England, the one-on-one FRPG toolkit Scarlet Heroes (Fantasy), and the horror RPG Silent Legions.

Adventurer! We've resurrected our November 2023 Sine Nomine Corebooks Bundle featuring the complete Deluxe Editions of Worlds Without Number and Stars Without Number, along with Wolves of God, Silent Legions, and other standalone tabletop roleplaying game rulebooks by acclaimed designer Kevin Crawford of Sine Nomine Publishing.

From many past offers (mostly 2013-2017) we've assembled seven complete standalone rulebooks with a huge array of system-independent sandbox gaming tools. Easily generate kingdoms and AIs, planets and pantheons, cults and factions, monsters and mechs, dungeons and starships, and tons more. These tools make creation easier for even the most experienced GM – and they make a great gift for a roleplayer new to Sine Nomine games. (To give a Bundle of Holding as a gift, log out of your current browser session, then purchase the offer using the recipient's email address.)

For just US$12.95 you get all three titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $50) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Stars Without Number: Revised Edition Deluxe, the post-apocalypse SWN spinoff Other Dust (plus the free supplements Grandfather's Rain, Cult of the Still Lady, and Cult of the Wraith), and the African fantasy Spears of the Dawn. As a convenience, we also include the free version of Kevin's cyberpunk game Cities Without Number.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $25.41, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with four more titles worth an additional $75, including the complete Worlds Without Number Deluxe Edition, Wolves of God: Adventures in Dark Ages England, the one-on-one FRPG toolkit Scarlet Heroes, and the horror RPG Silent Legions.

Bundle of Holding - Wyrd and Wild (OSR Sourcebooks)

I was surprised to see an OSR Bundle at Bundle of Holding where I didn't recognize the titles. Such is the case with the Wyrd and Wild bundle. But then I looked at the titles on DTRPG:

Into the Wyrd and Wild Revised Edition - 19.95 - Mithral Best Seller - 4.9 out of 5 for 79 ratings

Into the Cess and Citadel - 19.95 - Gold Best Seller - 5 out of 5 for 24 ratings

Ave Nox - 20.00 - Silver Best Seller - 4.7 out of 5 for 7 ratings

The Vast in the Dark: Expanded - 20.00 - Electrum Best Seller - 5 out of 5 for 10 ratings

Take my money. I'm all in. :)

Adventurer! This all-new Wyrd and Wild Bundle presents Into the Wyrd and Wild and other tabletop weird-fantasy roleplaying sourcebooks from designer-artist Charles Ferguson-Avery at Feral Indie Studio and Wet Ink Games. Easily adaptable to any Old-School Revival system such as Old-School Essentials, Shadowdark, or The Black Hack – or, with a little work, to Dungeon Crawl Classics, Pathfinder, and D&D 5E and compatible systems – these vivid and atmospheric system-neutral supplements give gamemasters the tools to create forbidding forests, exotic cities, Witcher-style monster hunts, and more. And the 200-room Ave Nox dungeon and the brutalist alien megastructures in The Vast in the Dark keep any group busy exploring for months. Send your players into these dark and dangerous landscapes and let them get their Wyrd on.

For just US$19.95 you get all six complete Old-School supplements in our Feral Collection (retail value $87) as DRM-free ebooks, including the acclaimed Into the Wyrd and Wild (Revised Edition) (often described as "Veins of the Earth for forests") and its urban counterpart, Into the Cess and Citadel; the 208-page megadungeon Ave Nox; the alien exploration setting The Vast in the Dark - Expanded; and two zine-size mini-sourcebooks, As the Gods Demand and They Cried Monster.

Bundle of Holding - Stillfleet (Sci-Fi RP




I'm not a huge sci-fi gamer (but I definitely play them more than Supers) but I'm far more interested in sci-fi RPGs for the fluff. The crunch is almost irrelevant. The fluff for the Stillfeet Bundle looks damn good.

Voidminer! This all-new Stillfleet Bundle presents Stillfleet, the far-future science fiction tabletop roleplaying game from the Stillfleet Studio about exploring ruined spacecraft ("hulks") and habitable Earthlike planets cut off from contact with Terra for decades or centuries. Players are voidminers, explorers working for the Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters, known simply as "the Co." Their base is the mysterious alien space station nicknamed Spindle – a kilometers-long sea slug made of undulating black stone. The Spindle is shot through with timespace gates that lead to habitable worlds. Using the flexible Grit System, you can play any sapient species from a (post)human to a giant bug, a mobile xeno-cactus, or an AI that projects an invulnerable hologram. No matter what type of voidminer you create, you'll have to contend with a venal Co. that sends you out on dangerous ventures at short notice for confounding reasons. The cosmos of Stillfleet is hilarious and horrifying – the struggles, all too real.

For just US$9.95 you get both titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $34) as DRM-free ebooks: the complete Stillfleet Core Rulebook and the nanotech-based character expansion Subtle Fluid.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $20.29, you'll level up and also get our entire Bonus Collection with three more titles worth an additional $44, including the espionage-focused regional gazetteer Qadida, the eight-scenario anthology Peregrinations Volume 1, and the full-length introductory venture The Sleeper in the Sky.
