This new Wyrd Breach Bundle offer presents the Through the Breach Lovecraftian-Wild West-steampunk RPG based on the Malifaux miniatures game from Wyrd Games. The site offered Through the Breach in December 2016 and again in December 2018. This huge new bundle is the biggest yet, with all five Expansion Books and many adventures.

Malifaux is a magic-saturated world parallel to our own (or, well, from a timeline close to our world's). In Malifaux ancient things rule the darkness, and Soulstones capture the spirits of living things to power magical spellcasting and thaumaturgy. In 1787 a dimensional Breach opened. Earth's humans invaded and exploited Malifaux for a decade, until the shapechanging Nephilim led an army of Neverborn natives to close the gateway. On our side the resulting chaos caused worldwide Black Powder Wars, until a secret cabal, the Guild of Mercantilers, gained control over most of Earth's Soulstones. The Guild's prison-like peace lasted for a century.

When the Breach reopened in 1889, the Guild's Resettlement Corps led careful re-exploration of Malifaux. Mercenaries, bounty hunters, and soldiers of fortune, who flocked there to clear away monsters and undead, eventually became the Guild's Special Divisions: the Death Marshals, appointed to hunt Resurrectionists (necromancers) and led by the mysterious swordfighter Lady Justice; the Witch Hunters, formed to control convict laborers in the Quarantine Zone and Necropolis; and the Amalgamation Office, with its fleet of combat constructs. These and many other factions -- the Miners and Steamfitters Union, the Arcanists, the Foundry, and the ruthless criminal syndicate known as the Ten Thunders -- seek once again to settle the dangerous world. Their old enemies remain: the Neverborn natives, the Autumn Queen Titania, and the strange little Gremlins. Steam power and steel collide with magic and monsters.

Through the Breach determines your player character's Fate at the moment of creation. Take on the roles of unique Fated citizens such as Gunfighters, Drudges, Dabblers, and Entertainers. Your destiny, or Fate, is created during character creation, and it affects every aspect of your life. As the game progresses, the destinies of the Fated entwine, driving you all inexorably toward a final reckoning. Will you fall to Fate, or cheat it?

We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices. (The DriveThruRPG versions of these files are inobtrusively watermarked.)

Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to the charity chosen by Wyrd Miniatures, the Cancer Research Institute. The Institute funds the most promising research while promoting awareness, sharing up-to-date immunotherapy information, and inspiring advocacy for the cause.

The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$264. Customers who pay just US$17.95 get all five titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $100) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete, full-color 412-page Through the Breach Second Edition core rulebook (2017, retail price $40) and four full-length Penny Dreadful adventures (retail $15 each), ideal for introducing the Gothic, necromantic-industrial city-state of Malifaux: Days Without Accident, Fire in the Sky, The Obsidian Gate, and A Stitch in Time.

Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $29.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with eleven more titles worth an additional $164, including all five Expansion Book rules supplements (total retail $134) -- From Nightmares (play a monster!), Above the Law, Into the Steam, Into the Bayou (play a Gremlin!), and Under Quarantine -- and six short Penny Dreadful One-Shots (retail $5 apiece) designed to be completed in a single play session each: Bubbling Up From Below, The Iktomi Shuffle, Jurassic Faux, The Show Must Go On, Silurid Showdown, and Uncontainable.

Note: The Through the Breach Second Edition corebook, Into the Bayou, Into the Steam, and Under Quarantine have appeared in past Bundle of Holding offers.
 

Previously I've said "You get quite a lot of material for the money, but to me it feels like it's falling between too many stools, I don't think I'll be very interested. But of course your mileage may vary." Having seen this three times now, I still don't feel very interested. Sorry...
