In December 2016 we presented the Through the Breach Bundle, featuring Through the Breach, the Wyrd Miniatures Lovecraftian-Wild West-steampunk RPG based on the Malifaux miniatures game. Part alternate history, part parallel world, Through the Breach determines your player character’s (PC’s) Fate at the moment of creation. Each adventure drives the PCs inexorably toward their final reckoning. Will they fall to Fate, or cheat it?

There were six titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $80) presented as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the Fated Almanac and Fatemaster’s Almanac core rulebooks (retail $30 apiece) and four one-session “penny dreadful” adventures, ideal for introducing the Gothic, necromantic-industrial city-state of Malifaux.

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection of seven more titles (retail value $96), including the indispensable rules supplements Into the Steam and Under Quarantine (retail $28 apiece) and two full-length adventures that build on them: Northern Aggression (retail $10) and A Night in Rottenburg (retail $15). And we added three more “penny dreadfuls” after launch: Bad Blood, Last Remains, and The Ferryman (retail $5 each).

If you paid the full retail price of US$176 for this huge collection, you’d need a lot of Soulstone from the Guild — and do you really want to face its Death Marshals? Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to this offer’s designated charity, Reading is Fundamental.
