In February 2021 we presented the 2021 Birthday Bundle, a charity benefit to celebrate the eighth anniversary of the Bundle of Holding. The Bundle launched 20 February 2013. As in years past, we marked the anniversary with this benefit offer featuring high-quality free RPGs we wouldn’t otherwise be able to present in the Bundle format. You can find all these .PDFs free elsewhere around the web (links below). But, for just a small donation, customers got convenient access to them on their Wizard’s Cabinet download page on the Bundle site — and their entire donation (after gateway fees) went to this offer’s designated charity, the RPG Creators Relief Fund. The RCRF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity founded to provide financial assistance to tabletop roleplaying creators suffering hardship due to medical emergencies, natural disasters, and other catastrophic situations.

There were three free games in our Starter Collection, including the Forge Engine universal system from Hero Forge, the historical game of the suffragette movement Deeds, Not Words, and the straightforward superheroics of Kapow!

Our Bonus Collection added eight more free games and scenarios, including the mordant horror-satire Apocalypse Engine game The Happiest Apocalypse on Earth, the high-crunch strategic RPG Zafir: Tactical Roleplaying, Zap! (the science fiction version of Kapow!), and five scenarios of cosmic horror set in the Great Depression, originally presented in the 2013 collection No Security: Bryson Springs, Revelations, The Fall Without End, The Red Tower, and The Wives of March.
