Two bundles for Girl Genius comics, which are RPG-adjacent due to the existence of GURPS Girl Genius and the long association of the authors with the RPG industry. One is a repeat, the other all-new.

In 2020 I said "This is one I'm not even going to think about - I'll be downloading it tonight." I shall be doing that again for the second offer.

This one isn't actually an RPG - it's a lot of the material that's been published in print (as opposed to on line) for one of my favourite web comics, Girl Genius, including three novels:

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/GirlGenius

This new Girl Genius Bundle presents a zeppelin-full of graphic albums featuring Studio Foglio's Girl Genius, the "gaslamp fantasy" webcomic of adventure, romance, and mad science. In an alternate Europe in the throes of Industrial Revolution, the inventive scientists called Sparks develop new and interesting ways to smash each other's castles. Agatha Heterodyne, a hapless student at Transylvania Polygnostic University, discovers her own Spark. As she obsessively pursues her monstrous heritage and birthright, all Europa watches carefully, for fear Agatha may become a monster herself.

Created by Phil and Kaja Foglio (What's New With Phil & Dixie?, MythAdventures, and many more), Girl Genius debuted as a quarterly comic book in 2000, then became a successful thrice-weekly webcomic in 2005. The series has garnered a shelf of awards, a novel series, a Munchkin expansion, a Cheapass Games card game, licensed merchandise, a thriving Patreon campaign, and a just-ended Girl Genius computer game Kickstarter campaign.

This new offer presents .PDFs of the first 13 graphic-novel volumes -- the 1,814-page "Act 1" of Agatha Heterodyne's story -- plus other Studio Foglio treats like the two volumes of Phil Foglio's crazed space opera Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire. We provide each graphic album complete in .PDF (Portable Document Format). 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.

Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to this offer's designated charity, Feeding America. Feeding America is a US-based network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community-based agencies.

The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$175. Customers who pay just US$14.95 get all seven titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $73) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including full-color "Electronic Edition" .PDFs of the first three albums; three Girl Genius novels from Start Science Fiction (in ePub and Kindle formats); the 2001 Secret Blueprints comic that introduced the setting; and lots of fun freebies from the Studio Foglio website.

Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $29.95 to start, also get our entire Bonus Collection with twelve more titles worth an additional $102, including no less than ten more graphic albums and both volumes of Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire.


This is one I'm not even going to think about - I'll be downloading it tonight.

If you're a fan of the web comic Girl Genius you'll probably want to read this...

Sparkgate: Agatha and the Grasp of the Serpent God by Samarkand

Summary: There are nigh infinite variant timelines surrounding that of the Stargate universe we know. Most turn out badly as one choice or another dooms Earth. One, however, is unusual in that a chance refugee from another branch of Earth's many alternate universes provides some...unexpected effects. There may be maniacal cackling. There probably will be tesla coils. There most certainly will be elegantly crafted death rays. Discover what happens when the Milky Way Galaxy discovers what the Spark of mad genius can do. Steampunk and science fiction collide in...SPARKGATE! FOR SCIENCE!
