This is an all-new bundle of Salvage Union, a game about post-apocalytic mech warriors trying to keep their machines running, from Leyline Press

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/SalvageUnion

  

This is a genre I'm not incredibly fond of, but it's made more interesting by there not being apparently limitless supplies of shiny new guns, missiles and mechs. Instead everything is collapsing, and a good set of tools and the knowledge of how to use them is probably worth more than any weapon. It might be good as a change of pace for mech fans, a "this is what's really going on as a background to the battles" dystopia. It's reasonably priced and I think it's worth a look.

2022: The British are heartened by Partygate revelations that the Tories celebrated in trust the gatherings barred to the rabble during Covid, the UK teaches the world a thing or two about political stability by going through three Prime Ministers in less than two months, and Queen Elizabeth II escapes the prospect of discovering how exactly the UK would continue its downward political arc.

If I say I did not hear of something, it means that it is new to me. Did I not at least glance at the Clarkes in 2022?

This is a big bundle of small supplements by Ken Hite for the Gumshoe system games from Pelgrane Press:

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/KenWrites

  

About two-thirds of this material has been in previous bundles, the rest is new.

While I'm a fan of Hite's writing, I'm not a huge fan of the Gumshoe system, so mainly use these things as a source of ideas for other games. Right now I'm trying to get a LOT done before the end of the week, month, and year, and can't give them much time, but the price is pretty good and it looks like you're getting a lot for your money. I think it's worth a look.
