Humble Magazine Bundle Star Trek presented by Titan Magazines, full of back issues with features and interviews with the actors and creators from all versions of the franchise.

Current average is under $9 (no extra titles added next week), top-tier is $15. ETA: they're all in PDF format, which is understandable, given the contents.

It’s a bundle, not an escalator. Engage! in a little light speed reading with our bundle of Star Trek Magazines presented by Titan. You can pay what you want, which means it won’t cause a warp core breach in your wallet!

Last week's Humble Comics Bundle Star Trek presented by IDW has added at least 6 extra titles to the middle tier, including more Archive volumes and the first part of a Doctor Who crossover (the 2nd part was already in the top tier).

Humble Bundle is also offering a freebie DRM-free game, SpaceCom, as part of its Humble PC & Android Bundle 14. Just click on the newsletter subscription box to have it added to your account (does not include soundtrack which is available with the paid version). The bundle also offers some very nice-looking casual games, all DRM-free and available for multiple platforms, and their soundtracks at the super-cheap $3 middle tier (and the game at the top tier where you pretend to be the DM for an RPG group looks like fun.)

StoryBundle also has a new gaming-related offering:

The Giga Game Bundle, full of non-fiction titles about games. Normally these are usually all about video games, but this time around there are books about the histories of simulation and strategy games, namely Dungeons & Dragons and Go.

$5 minimum gets you 4 books, including the D&D history.

$12 top-tier gets you 4 more books, including the Go history.

Their The Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle curated by Kevin J. Anderson is still good for the next week, as is Bundle of Holding's Bundle of Laundry which contains the gamebooks for the officially licensed RPG spin-off of Charles Stross' popular Lovecraftian bureaucracy spy thriller urban fantasy series, until next Monday.

Don't forget to check out the Smashwords July sale, with quite a number of backlist bargains and deals already listed in its dedicated thread. And the BookViewCafé author re-publishing consortium has rotated its monthly sale titles, and has some 99 cent specials including an anthology of sf/fantasy tales by established authors, and a writing advice guide by Deborah J. Ross (ISFDB, Wikipedia).
