These are two bundles for the Shadowrun RPG, which mixes cyberpunk and magic. One is a repeat of the core material for the game, the other is all new:

SHADOWRUN 5E ESSENTIALS (from Feb 2019)

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2025SR5Essentials

  


SR5 UNIVERSE MEGA (new)

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/SR5EUniverseMega

  


When the essentials bundle was first on offer I said "Shadowrun has never been one of my favourite games, I'm not convinced the genres mesh wonderfully, but it's an OK system with a big user base. I think that there have been previous offers for earlier releases, but this is the first for 5th edition, which updates things a lot. I think it's a pretty good deal if you want to give the system a try, or are only familiar with the earlier releases." If I'm reading things correctly this re-release adds more material - but if you bought the bundle previously you will get them added to your account without having to buy the bundle again.

The new bundle looks interesting, but I'm frantically trying to get ready for a lot of things happening at the weekend, most notably Dragonmeet on Saturday, and don't have time to look at them right now.

There's going to be another repeat bundle for this system soon, but I'm not allowed to give details.

This is the annual Bundle of Holding mixed bag of games from an assortment of companies to celebrate the USA's Thanksgiving Day.

For some reason a lot of this year's choices deal with apocalypses, giant sea monsters, and various sorts of prejudice.

I'm never quite sure what to say about these mixed bundles since they don't fit into neat categories. Basically, you've got seven different RPGs ranging from horror to extreme silliness - I'm looking at you, Sentai and Sensibility - and if only one or two appeal to you, or you already have some of them, it may be a good idea to look at cherrypicking the ones you want. If you want more buying the bundle will probably be cheaper.

This is a crossover between the Harry Potter books, the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series, and the film Bedazzled (1967, not the 2000 remake), with some other crossovers and Easter eggs, so far including Dogma (1999) and Time Bandits (1981). All characters belong to their respective creators / owners / megacorporations of doom and not to me, please don't sue...

Oh this is mischievous as all get out. And it took me two years to find out that it exists?

This is a new bundle of the second edition of The Magical Land of Yeld, a fantasy RPG intended as a good introduction to the genre for children, from Atarashi Games

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Yeld2E



When I originally got the details of this I didn't realise that it is a stand-alone system, not yet another D&D spinoff. This is a much simpler system, and ought to be much more usable by kids, while still fun to play. It's not a genre I expect to use, but if you have kids or spend much time with them it may be worth a look. There's quite a lot of material, and it's pretty cheap.

Another Bundle - Salvage Union

This is an all-new bundle of Salvage Union, a game about post-apocalytic mech warriors trying to keep their machines running, from Leyline Press

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/SalvageUnion

  

This is a genre I'm not incredibly fond of, but it's made more interesting by there not being apparently limitless supplies of shiny new guns, missiles and mechs. Instead everything is collapsing, and a good set of tools and the knowledge of how to use them is probably worth more than any weapon. It might be good as a change of pace for mech fans, a "this is what's really going on as a background to the battles" dystopia. It's reasonably priced and I think it's worth a look.

Fair warning: I may be somewhat Distracted tonight, given that we have a Grey Cup game day with Saskatchewan vs. Montréal.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the Grey Cup Game tonight.

May the players all remain concussion-free, and may Rider Nation prevail. In that order of priority.
