In September 2015 our Apocalypse Engine Bundle presented a new collection of RPGs Powered by the Apocalypse — that is, based on Vincent Baker’s fantastically original 2010 RPG Apocalypse World. From supernatural romance to smuggling to pro wrestling, these wide-ranging games let you pick a playbook, try your Moves, roll 2D6, and play to find out what happens.
Our Starter Collection included five titles (retail value $37) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Apocalypse World (lumpley games, retail price $10): The revolutionary game of post-disaster action and story. Did you see Fury Road? This is that.
- Monsterhearts (Buried Without Ceremony, retail $10): The messy lives of teenage monsters. (Previously presented in our April 2013 Bundle of Holding +2.)
- Monsterhearts: Blood of Misty Harbour (Buried Without Ceremony, retail $5): A complete three-episode mini-series for Monsterhearts.
- Bootleggers: Smuggling Run (One Seven Designs, retail $7): Crooks smuggling alcohol in 1930s Seattle. By John Harper, designer of Blades in the Dark and Lady Blackbird.
- Cartel (Magpie Games, retail $5): “Ashcan edition” of Mark Diaz Truman’s game of Mexican narcofiction in the Sinaloa crime ring.
Customers who paid more than the threshold price gained +1 forward and also got our entire Bonus Collection of five more titles (retail value $49.50):
- World Wide Wrestling (NDP Designs, retail $10): Feuds, betrayals, and righteous victory in a grand and action-filled setting.
- Monster of the Week (Evil Hat, retail $12): The new version of the most accessible Apocalypse game, about hunting monsters a la Buffy, Supernatural, and X-Files.
- Legacy: Life Among the Ruins (UFO Press, retail $12.50): Centuries-spanning family sagas in the wake of apocalypse.
- Deniable (StoryWeaver Games, retail $10): Unwitting spies, tempted by easy money, get into fixes right out of A Fish Called Wanda.
- City of Judas (Dreamlord Press, retail $5): Dark sword-and-sorcery where the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist fights cultists and monsters in an imaginary Jersalem.

The lack of Dungeon World makes me kind of sad. I mean that’s really THE Powered by the Apocalypse game.
We presented Dungeon World in its own offer this past December, and we may well bring it back for a sequel offer!
This AW bundle came just too late to keep me from buying the new MoTW separately, but just in time to keep me from buying Legacy on its own. Now just add Night Witches to the bundle before it ends, OK?
