The perfect mindstorm. The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® system allows you to create custom programmable robots from a few bricks, some sensors, and your own brainpower. Get inspired with this bundle full of ebooks, including Beginning LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, Practical LEGO Technics, Arduino and LEGO Projects, and LEGO Technic Robotics… and start brainstorming!

Just a reminder that expiring tomorrow on Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time is their excellent
Humble Comics Bundle Best of Fantagraphics, containing a quality selection from the notable publisher. And still going for another week or so is their
Humble Book Bundle Brainiac 2 presented by No Starch Press containing similar LEGO® and electronics and computer programming DIY hobby books, but oriented more towards beginners, and kid friendly.
Also expiring Real Soon Now in the next day or two is Groupees'
Dynamite Game of Thrones comics bundle, which, disappointingly, contains very few issues of the eponymous comic, compared to all the titles from their other popular franchises, which may still be good value for you to pick up if you're following those series.
StoryBundle has a new offering for
The Universe Between Bundle curated by Star Trek tie-in novelist turned small publisher Dean Wesley Smith (
Wikipedia). It seems to consist mainly of supernatural encounters/weird fiction/magical realism-type fantasy (the curator's note mentions
The Twilight Zone as an influence, with mostly newer titles by established authors and indies.
That said, it has a 1989 Doubleday backlist historical fantasy from Judith Tarr (
Wikipedia), one of my favourite historical fantasy authors, which is set in the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem and available at the lowest tier (would normally cost you about the same, off-sale).
$5 minimum for 4 titles.
$15 top tier for 6 more titles, including one of the Fiction River anthologies, and a novelette by Kristine Kathryn Rusch which originally appeared in Jim Baen's Universe magazine.
Just a reminder that ending in the next few days is their
Bump in the Night Bundle curated by Star Wars tie-in author turned small publisher Kevin J. Anderson, full of supernatural thrillers, and there's still some time to go on
The Summer Smash Game Bundle full of non-fiction video game making of histories, articles, and gameplay guides.
Bundle of Holding's new RPG gamebook offering is for:
The Esoterrorists, apparently a Lovecraftian-styled game where you protect the modern world from the horrors of the Outer Dark being summoned by local occult terrorists. Still available are the previous
BASH! a flexible superhero game you can use for fantasy or space opera settings, and
Palladium Fantasy fantasy adventure game.
