It’s good stuff. I have all of the DRACULA DOSSIER – running Dracula-themed games in Ken Hite’s vampire-and-spies NIGHT’S BLACK AGENTS – stuff in print form already, so I’ve no need to pick it up. You should, though.

The UNKNOWN ARMIES 3e Bundle of Holding.
Hrm. I actually don’t have some of these, I think. Weird. I should rectify that in the near future: UNKNOWN ARMIES is a fun game concept, although I’ve yet to have the chance to actually play in a campaign of it. It’s the mindset I like, you see. The sort of Tim Powers-style street magic, if Tim cussed more.
The Kenneth Hite’s Cthulhu Bundle of Holding.
Constant Reader Luke mentioned this in comments earlier, and I was meaning to bring it up, myself. Ken Hite’s bundling up a bunch of his Cthulhu stuff for Bundle Of Holding; I have everything except the Tarot already, and everything I already have is worth the fifteen bucks, all on its own. Getting the whole thing for that price is an absolute no-brainer.
The SWORDS OF THE SERPENTINE Quick Deal Bundle of Holding.
Getting the PDF for SWORDS OF THE SERPENTINE in time for Pelicon (online Pelgrane Press convention, in honor of GenCon which they can’t all go to because Pelgrane operates out of the UK) for eight bucks is a steal. I’d get it myself, except that I already have it in PDF/dead tree form. It’s basically GUMSHOE for fantasy adventure, and if it had been available as an OGL I would have frankly based my own upcoming Fermi Resolution TTRPG around it.
…Hrm.
The SPIRIT OF ’77 Bundle of Holding.
I meant to put up something about SPIRIT OF ’77 earlier this evening, but while trying to find out more about it, I ended up looking at a TV Tropes article. …You pretty much can guess what happened then, huh? Anyway, this game looks like it’s going down the same route as DAMNATION DECADE: to wit, 1970s roleplaying, but with more 1970s funky TV and fewer disaster flicks. It’s also a Powered by the Apocalypse game, so your mileage will vary.
Still, there’s a lot of stuff to mine from the 1970s, game-wise. Still trying to decide whether to pick up this particular Bundle of Holding, though. I don’t play the games I already have.

The THEY CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA! Bundle of Holding.
THEY CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA! is B-movie roleplaying from Onyx Path. It’s tempting, but I don’t have time to play the games I have now. On the other hand, it’s in PDF form, so space isn’t a consideration. And on the gripping hand: think of the filmography. These supplements are always good for filling gaps in your video library…
The KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE Bundles of Holding.
The TORG ESSENTIALS and TORG COSMS 2 Bundles of Holding.
I never got to play TORG in first edition, and after I picked up TORG ESSENTIALS in the Kickstarter I never got to play that, too. And now, here we are, with the TORG COSMS 2 Bundle of Holding.
Yeah, we all know how this ends. I dunno. Maybe I can play it in Heaven, or something? That would actually be rather… nice. Sounds a bit better wandering around on a cloud, with a harp I can’t play.
The HYPERBOREA 3E Bundle of Holding.
I am mildly surprised that I missed HYPERBOREA 3E when it hit Kickstarter. It is extremely retro, all the way back to pre-AD&D D&D, and deep into Lovecraft, Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, etc, etc, etc. Thirteen bucks seemed like a reasonable price, especially since all the artwork is likewise going to be a nostalgia-driven return to your childhood, when all the gamebooks had staples and colored illustrations were a pointless luxury in the interior pages. Check it out.
The ARC DREAM MYTHOS Bundle of Holding.
I already have most of the stuff in the ARC DREAM MYTHOS Bundle of Holding, although having those back copies of THE UNSPEAKABLE OATH available digitally appeals to me, too. Thirteen bucks is a good deal, if you like Cthulhu Mythos gaming. I need to get in on another game of those; CoC is one of the ones that I mostly play at cons*.

*I still remember fondly the space scenario where I was playing the android, and I actually got away with blowing up the station when it was clear that there was no way to salvage the situation. I even got to tell one PC, Why should I condemn billions of people to madness and death, just to give you thirty more seconds of life? — which was obscurely satisfying, because a lot of modern Mythos fiction likes to go the other way, in the end. I’m a bit more of a Lovecraftian purist, honestly; you die and it’s ultimately pointless, but you do get to see off the monster first.
