New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:

Humble RPG Book Bundle Fiction Faves containing tabletop gaming titles based on popular science fiction and fantasy series including George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, Charles Stross' The Laundry Files, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, and the Atomic Robo comic book.

Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15, no new titles added next week. These are PDF format due to replicating the complex layouts of the printed books.

I got the Laundry RPG gamebooks from a Bundle of Holding offer previously, and they're actually a pretty funny read in their own right for the comments about the worldbuilding of the series and suggestions for how to play with it. Mind you, that was more for the sourcebook supplement (apparently not included in this bundle) than the basic player guides or the case scenarios handbook which OTOH do provide a useful consultable reference to various stuff in the books, equivalent to a good fan wiki.

Anyway, if you don't already have and were wanting to try, this is pretty good value for money since normally these things cost quite a lot and the price of the entire bundle wouldn't even cover the regular price of one of the supplements alone for most of the series.

Quote:
A Song of Ice and Fiction. Get into some classic gaming IRL with this bundle of RPG: Role Playing Goodness. These ebooks will guide your way to old-school good times!

Pay $1 or more for A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying Core Rulebook, The Atomic Robo RPG, and Laundry RPG Rulebook.

Pay $8 or more and you’ll also get the Mistborn Adventure Game, The Dresden Files RPG: Your Story, A Song of Ice and Fire Chronicle Starter, and Laundry Files: Black Bag Jobs.

Pay $15 or more for all of that plus Alloy of Law: Mistborn Campaign Setting & Game Setting, Terris: Wrought of Copper Player’s Guide & Mistborn World Resource, A Song of Ice and Fire Campaign Guide, The Dresden Files RPG: Our World, and Laundry Files: Agent's Handbook.
Speaking of sfnal tie-in bundles, last week's Humble Comics Bundle Doctor Who presented by Titan Publishing is still available for a limited time.

StoryBundle also has a new offering, good for the next three weeks:

Military Horror Bundle curated by small publisher Cohesion Press contains sfnal hybrid action adventures about soldiers fighting monsters, including contributions by authors such as multiple Stoker Award-winning author and editor Jonathan Maberry (ISFDB, Wikipedia). Many of these appear to be in a shared universe series of short story collections, if you happen to like that sort of thing (unless the name is just a marketing branding banner), with themes ranging from ancient mythology to futuristic monsters, and contributors such as multiple Hugo & Nebula Award-winning author Mike Resnick.

$5 minimum gets you 2 novels + 2 anthologies + 1 single-author collection containing previously-published short stories and essays by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Weston Ochse (ISFDB, Wikipedia).

$15 top tier adds another 2 novels + 3 anthologies.

As a reminder, their Pulse Pounders Thrillers curated by Star Wars tie-in author Kevin J. Anderson ends in another day or so, and their Political Thriller Bundle, containing two backlist novels by a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist (including said novel which won him the Pulitzer Prize), ends in another week once the US election season is over.

And of course, for more sfnal franchise RPG gamebooks, Bundle of Holding has a pseudopodful of seasonal Lovecraftian offerings, for Bundle of Tentacles +4 containing supplements to Chaosium's popular Call of Cthulhu series, and Trail of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu +2 for Pelgrane Press' own Mythos variant.
