THE 13th AGE IS BACK IN THE BUNDLE
The Bundle of Holding has revived its spectacular December 2015 offer of the 13th Age Bundle, featuring the fantasy RPG from Pelgrane Press. 13th Age was designed by Rob Heinsoo and Jonathan Tweet, lead designers for the Third and Fourth editions of D&D. This revived collection has the rulebook, lots of supplements and adventures, and even a soundtrack of atmospheric music. And the Bundle has even added a new title, Summoning Spells, which you also receive automatically if you purchased this offer during its original run.
The Vampire 20th Anniversary Bundle is still going strong. Really strong! They've added even more books to this big collection featuring the lavish 529-page 20th Anniversary rulebook celebrating the 1991 debut of Vampire: the Masquerade.
And the Savage Worlds East Texas University collection, featuring down-south horror out of Bubba Ho-tep by way of Buffy and X-Files, still has a few days left to go.
As always, when you buy a Bundle of Holding offer, the titles are added automatically to your DriveThruRPG Library.

A little sci-fi. A little post-apocalypse. A whole lot of dinosaurs.
Time travel seemed like a good idea. Explore the ancient world. Create an entire society here in the jungles of our primordial Earth. Until those SATI guys messed it all up.
Welcome to the Cretaceous. Our ancestors won’t climb down from the trees for another 66 million years, but here we are now.
We’ve got guns. We’ve even bioengineered a few dinos to our liking. That’s good, because we’ll need it all to survive. There’s no one left alive who knows how to get back to the future.
• A complete, ready-to-play scifi game world for the Cypher System, with a detailed history, fascinating locations, new gear and tech, and factions and conflicts to drive your story. • More than 20 new creatures and NPC types, from the snuggly nerezza to the unpredictable lab-grown supersauri. • New character types and abilities. Be a Volcanic Karn who Self-Evolves, an Empirical Tec who Plays God, or perhaps a Daring Pteryx Who Walks with Dinosaurs. • Rules for dino companions. Choose a ceratopsian, early mammal, ornithomimid — even a raptor or tyrannosaur.
The world we knew ended with The Event, followed by the appearance of hundreds, thousands of superhuman individuals — ordinary men and women empowered in the blink of an eye, between one breath and the next, transformed or given extraordinary gifts.
In this game, you can be superhuman, a breakthrough, one who has chosen to “wear the cape” and become a superhero. Or at least come as close to being one as you can in a world with legal institutions that are averse to the idea of super-powered vigilantes.
Wearing the Cape
In 2011, Marion G. Harmon published Wearing the Cape, a superhero novel. Now, it and its six sequels have consistently been ranked among the top of their genre category.
Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game
Built on the Fate Core system by Evil Hat Productions, Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game uses an open system of Aspects, Ratings, and Stunts to describe any conceivable character and superhuman power, as well as organizations, cities, regions, and any kind of environment the heroes may encounter.
There are 220 pages to this gamebook, with 30 dense pages of Post-Event World background to provide endless ideas for locations and threats.
Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game is a gateway for anyone who wishes to adventure in the world of the novels, or who wishes to make a world of their own!
Dinosaurs still roam forgotten corners of the land. Alien influences operate from the skies. Mystics wield ancient powers. Strange new sciences promise to change the world. The dead rise from the grave.
All the while, modern movements sweep the globe, and bold explorers venture deep into the unknown or delve into forgotten ruins.
The world is ripe for adventure!
