[ffutures]

This is another 7-day RPG bundle, this time for the Pelgrane Press RPG "Hillfolk"

Hillfolk

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2023Hillfolk

Can't wait for the new season of The Last of Us or Andor? Why not start your own episodic series of tense, character-driven drama? Hillfolk, the DramaSystem game from Pelgrane Press by designer Robin D. Laws (Feng Shui, GUMSHOE), adapts narrative techniques from literature and film to let your roleplaying group create a compelling serial story of emotional need and conflict within a tightly knit group of people. Hillfolk characters have competing goals that drive the story forward as they face inner challenges and engage in emotional disputes. Weave enthralling multi-session sagas about Iron Age tribes, Game of Thrones-style fantasy intrigue, Regency socialites, border town drug kingpins, troubled Sopranos-type crime families, posthuman cyberpunks, and more. Hillfolk is the "cable series RPG."

Hillfolk's October 2012 Kickstarter campaign earned over US$90,000 and spawned a support line of "Series Pitches" – new settings written by many notable designers. This revived February 2015 Hillfolk Bundle once again presents most of the Hillfolk line, including music, cards, and many Series Pitches, for an unbeatable bargain price. Cast your own series about engineers battling zombies in the Imperial court of a magical 1920s Russia – or the gladiatorial arena of a steam-powered flying city on the brink of revolution – or even the dreamers, has-beens, and never-will-bes in a touring jukebox musical. (In that one, you sing!)

We provide each ebook complete in .PDF (Portable Document Format), and each audio track as an .MP3 sound file. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these books have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their ereaders.

Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to this Hillfolk revival's pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.

The total retail value of the titles in this revived Hillfolk Bundle is US$74. Customers who pay just US$5.95 get all six titles in this revival's Starter Collection (retail value $28.50) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete 240-page Hillfolk core rulebook (retail price $21) and five Series Pitches (retail $1.50 each): Encore, Iron Tsar, Narcocorrido, Sheep's Clothing, and Terminal X.

Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $14.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with ten more titles worth an additional $45.50, including the 208-page companion volume Blood on the Snow (retail $21), a set of three atmospheric MP3 music tracks, the handy Hillfolk card deck (retail $10), and seven more Series Pitches (retail $1.50 each): Art and Murder, Campus Desk, Honor Among Thieves, No Crowns, Niflgap, Promised Land, and a pitch exclusive to this offer and sold nowhere else, Do What Thou Wilt.

I'm not sure if I've seen this before - I started seeing these bundles after it was originally offered -  and I'm still trying to get caught up on a lot of things while feeling pretty naff, so I'm not able to make an informed choice here; it looks like you get good value for money, but as usual you may want to decide how much of it you need and whether it would be cheaper to cherry pick and just get the bits you're missing.
