DTRPG just put up three big bundles for COVID-19 related charities: Doctors Without Borders, World Food Programme, and No Kid Hungry. As with most of these mega-bundles, it's a lot of 3rd party 5E, 3.5/PF, and OSR stuff, and a lot of it looks like shovelware, but there are at least a few titles that look interesting to me in each bundle, so it might be worth taking a look--they're only $20, and they support charity. The World Food Programme bundle includes both Spire and The Witcher, but you'll also have to live with the knowledge that this lives forever in your library: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/172432/Fantasy-Women-Clipart-Volume-20

Some of the good games in these bundles are: Doctors Without Borders: Night's Black Agents, Sig, MASHED,Dream Askew/Dream Apart, LIFTS. $20 is a steal for NBA alone. World Food Programme: Godless, Ninja Burger (well, I like it), House of Cards, Spire, and RuneQuest. Again, Spire is worth it at the bundle price. No Kid Hungry: Harn World, FantasyCraft, Stark City Superhero setting.

No Kid Hungry also has Nathan Paoletta's Imp of the Perverse. I haven't played it to give it official Good Game (tm) recommendation, but it's a cool concept rendered by the designer of definite Good Games like World Wide Wrestling, so I figure it's of note.

I smiled a little when I saw Fantasycraft was in one of the bundles. It is a great game if you want a good d&d style fantasy game with a well designed system. Spellbound might happen one day too...

This bundle is mostly videogames, but it includes at least a couple dozen tabletop RPGs as well: https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality $5 minimum donation gets you just...a lot. A really really lot. RPGwise, the standouts are Lancer and Blades in the Dark (plus a little bit of supplemental content for that and The Sprawl), but there's also a couple short RPGs from Sandy Pug Games, goon run creators of Orc Stabr and Americana. And a bunch of other stuff that certainly could be interesting, I just don't know 'em. Plus so many notable videogames, and a whole lotta itch.io's stock-in-trade weird experimental indie stuff.

Maybe I'm just overlooking it but I'd like a way to sort your library, be nice if the assets and the rpgs were in separate groups. Also I think the earlier bundles would just dump everything, because my library has a lot of nonsense to sift through.

It's a touch overshadowed by the monolithic itch bundle (and indeed, a couple of the games in these are also in that), but DTRPG put up six charity bundles, 2 for Black Lives Matter, two for NAACP's Legal Defense Fund, and two for National Police Accountability Project. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316933/Black-Lives-Matter-1-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 BLM #1 contains Eclipse Phase 2E, Zweihander, Uprising (the RPG they based on the setting of Coup and The Resistance, which hardly seemed like a strong foundation to me but it was popular on Kickstarter so I mention it), a PBTA game of revolution called Comrades which I backed but cannot yet vouch for, a well liked Cthulhu scenario collection (Fear's Little Needles) and a bunch of other stuff. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316934/Black-Lives-Matter-2-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 BLM #2 has Base Raiders (the Fate supers game created by Ross Payton of RPPR), a Mothership adventure, The Great Pendragon Campaign (widely considered one of the best prewritten campaigns ever), Chuubo's Marvellous Wish-Granting Engine (from Jenna Moran of Nobilis fame), Nefertiti Overdrive (ancient Egyptian kung fu movie roleplaying), the Perilous Wilds (an excellent Dungeon World third party supplement/hack), Time Cellist (a Doctor Who and Jackie Chan influenced RPG from two of the people from the Jank Cast), Winterhorn (a revolutionaries LARP from the Fiasco folks). https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316935/NAACP-Legal-Defense-Fund-1-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 NAACP Legal Defense Fund #1 has Urban Shadows, Hero Kids, Mars Colony - 39 Dark (a followup to well regarded two player RPG Mars Colony), Archives of the Sky (a collaborative sci-fi worldbuilding/storytelling RPG, GMless), and a TORG Eternity worldbook. Oh, and that dinosaur Cypher system RPG, Predation. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316936/NAACP-Legal-Defense-Fund-2-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 NAACP LDF #2 has Sufficiently Advanced 2E (a diceless transhumanist storytelling game), Cthulhu Confidential, Spire, Thou Art But A Warrior (a Crusades-era Muslim warrior hack of Polaris, a classic indie RPG), and an issue of Worlds Without Masters (#10). https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316937/National-Police-Accountability-Project-1-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 National Police Accountability Project #1 has Legacy: Life Among the Ruins 2E, Bulldogs: FATE Core Edition, Space Wurm vs. Moonicorn (weird space fantasy Dungeon World supplement), Cyberpunk 2020, Dream Askew/Dream Apart ...and a Talisman RPG that exists for some reason. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316938/National-Police-Accountability-Project-2-BUNDLE?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45938 NPAP #2 has Sig: Manual of the Primes, Threadbare RPG (post-apocalyptic PBTA...where you play abandoned toys.), Dungeon Crawl Classics corebook, the player's guide for Blue Planet 2E, Rockalypse (battle of the bands + apocalypse, FATE. featured on One Shot), the first corebook for 2E Scion, apparently Tunnels & Trolls in Spanish, and, importantly, "In Which You Are an Octopus". Possibly other good stuff too, and I skipped the stuff that's in the Itch bundle, but those leapt out at me.

Pathfinder 2E is the current highlight at Humble Bundle! The $5 tier contains the Core Rulebook (everything needed to run/play the game in a single book) and the first Adventure for 2nd Edition, Fall of Plaguestone, which is designed to run characters from level 1 to 4. Additionally, it contains some novels, maps, character sheets, and 2 mini-adventures from the Pathfinder Society line. A the $10 tier, you also get the Lost Omens World Guide, a massive setting book covering large parts of the world of Golarion, the main setting for Pathfinder. Additionally, more maps, novels, and mini-adventures. The big dog $20 tier includes the Bestiary, with hundreds of pages of monsters, the Lost Omens Character Guide, a player-facing book with a bunch of new ancestry and class options, along with even more maps, novels, and mini-adventures. At $30 (plus shipping based on your location), you can also get a physical copy of the Core Rulebook shipped to you. This is all a fantastic value and the absolute best chance to get a look at all that Pathfinder 2E has to offer. I absolutely recommend this system and this bundle. For more info about Pathfinder 2E, geared for current 5E players: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MWOxNdBbp0RZdvj3cBWmX_d1M9gPsmb6RsddzV9C3Fg/edit?usp=sharing Free official Pathfinder 2E rules site: https://2e.aonprd.com/ Supplemental info: #1- Somehow, the Humble Store counts as a "small business", so I got a $5 statement credit from Amex for purchasing the bundle, which was rad. #2- Shipping is done through Paizo, and I went with the top tier ($30) and the shipping for the core rulebook was $8.97, so the total added cost for the physical tier was $18.97 for a rulebook that retails at $59.99. YMMV, stop living in the boonies or Euroland. #3- As shown below, getting the books through the bundle and activating them on Paizo.com allows you to buy the Roll20 versions at a discount, for instance, the entire Fall of Plaguestone bundle (Adventure + Map Pack) goes down to $10.

More miniatures than RPG, but Aldi is selling a set of two self-healing cutting boards for $7. There's no grid-lines, but it feels very similar to the much more expensive mats you'd use to protect your desk while chopping bits.

Golden Bee posted:What does self healing mean in terms of a cutting board? It's basically a scratch resistant plastic mat. AFAIK the textured top later parts into grooves when you cut on it and then stands back up afterwards leaving no marks unless you really dig past that top layer.

Renegade Scout, a wargame written to invoke the innocent yesteryears of the first edition of Warhammer 40,000 when it was known as Rogue Trader: Warhammer 40,000 and it hadn't yet got around to entirely filing off the serial numbers of Dune, Star Wars, Moorcock and more, is currently 40% off at DriveThruRPG. It's had a bit of an update recently, leading it to be called "Renegade Scout 2".

I snagged this one at the last minute because I have missed it any other time I've seen it up and judging by the website for the software getting it on Humble is the best deal I have seen. That being said, I will probably have to go through the YouTube tutorial videos to figure it out since I think it's a pretty involved program. As such, I can't report experiences with it or review it yet. Hopefully it will be not too difficult to learn since I have pretensions of both RPGs and writing, and it's supposed to be useful in both.

You can get amazing effects with it, and the community is great (there's a good Facebook group and the company's own forums), but it's not an easy learn. It's still, at its heart, a CAD package.
