If you’re looking to try out a different space fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, or better yet, a scientific romance tabletop RPG, then Bundle of Holding has your bag. The home of bargain-priced tabletop RPG materials, Bundle of Holding is currently running two collections for the Space: 1889 RPG from Clockwork Publishing and Game Developer’s Workshop. Both bundles start at $9.95, and will run until August 23rd.
The first bundle, Space: 1889 Clockwork, features “the 2014 edition of the classic proto-steampunk tabletop roleplaying game, Space: 1889,” according to its Bundle page. Space: 1889 is known as a space-fantasy RPG, heavily inspired by the Victorian era and the stories of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and H. Rider Haggard.
The Starter Collection ($9.95) in this bundle holds three items: the two DRM-free PDF source books Space: 1889 Rulebook (Clockwork edition), and the Clockwork Gamemaster's Screen and NPC Booklet, along with the Music of the Ether soundtrack by composer Ralf Kurtsiefer that includes “18 DRM-free MP3 audio tracks of atmospheric music for your Space: 1889 game sessions.”
Leveling up past the $18.53 threshold will net you the Bonus Collection of four more books in this Bundle. Marvels of Mars, and Venus, are the two sourcebooks; the adventure module London Bridge Has Fallen Down; and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan's novel The Strange Land.
The second offering is the proto-steampunk Victorian-era scientific-romance Space: 1889 Odysseys bundle. This bundle contains the original GDW-published line from the 1990s, with the starter price of $9.95 getting you nine DRM-free PDF ebooks: Space: 1889 core rulebook (the 2000 Heliograph reprint of the 1988 original), Conklin's Atlas of the Worlds, Soldier's Companion miniatures skirmish rules, the restored Heliograph edition of the Canal Priests of Mars adventure module, Tales From the Ether and More Tales From the Ether introductory adventures sets, and the three Martian odyssey sourcebooks of Beastmen, Caravans, and Steppelords of Mars.
Crossing the threshold price of $25.18 will earn you ten more titles: the Mars and Mercury Sourcebooks, as well as seven complete adventure modules. The modules come in the standard Space: 1889 Ubiquity version, and with Savage Worlds Explorer Edition rules by Pinnacle Entertainment.
After Bundle of Holding gateway fees, ten percent of the proceeds from both bundles go to help support the Direct Relief charity. “Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries daily to medical facilities across the US and Canada and to regional response agencies around the world.”
