Two offers of the venerable and highly regarded fantasy RPG Chivalry and Sorcery from Brittannia Games - one a repeat, the other all new:
CHIVALRY AND RISING SUN (from Feb 2024)
https://bundleofholding.com/p
C&S NEW LANDS (all-new)
https://bundleofholding.com/p
The last time the Chivalry and Rising Sun bundle was on offer I said: "This seems to be a fairly good updating of this venerable system which is now 44 years old - the new edition is very nicely presented and adds new material with a focus on cultural diversity. By modern standards it feels a little rules-heavy, but it hasn't aged nearly as badly as some of its competitors. Pricing seems good, and there's a lot here for gamers with historical interests to enjoy." I don't see any reason to change that.
For various reasons I haven't had a chance to take a good look at New Lands - my impression on a quick look is that it seems to be the sort of material that is useful if you're running a game that needs it, but may be of secondary interest otherwise. If you pay more than the base price you can get a lot of adventures, which is possibly more useful to some referees.
One of the links from the original offer leads to a blog post about Lee Gold, creator of much of the C&S worlds, and is well worth a look even if you aren't interested in the game. It's about a third of the way down the page:
