In October 2015 we launched the all-new Bundle of Nerves +3, a big collection featuring Silent Legions, Shadows of Esteren, and — ta daaa! — Pinnacle Entertainment‘s complete Savage Worlds rulebook and Horror Companion, plus two Savage Worlds settings. These .PDF ebooks present somber Gothic/Celtic mystery, pulpy thrills-n-chills, and Lovecraftian terror. This +3 collection ran in parallel with the original Bundle of Nerves, revived from October 2013, as part of our annual October Horrors series.
We had four titles in the +3 offer’s Starter Collection (retail value $50) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Shane Lacy Hensley’s complete 193-page Savage Worlds Deluxe Explorer’s Edition rulebook from Pinnacle Entertainment, and the Savage Worlds Horror Companion (Pinnacle, $20 total retail price).
- Kevin Crawford’s Silent Legions (Sine Nomine Publishing, retail $20): Sandbox-style Old School Lovecraftian terror from the designer of Stars Without Number.
- Dead Teenager RPG (Creepy Doll Studios, retail $10): In this totally classy and tasteful game, you play the victims in your own slasher flick, angling to be the last one left alive.
Those brave customers who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection with six more titles (retail value $75), including two Savage Worlds campaign settings:
- Accursed (Melior Via, $20): The Witchmarked monsters who fight for redemption in the dark fantasy world of Morden.
- Rippers (first edition) and the Ripper Companion (Pinnacle, $20 total): The original editions of the Victorian steam-tech Savage Worlds setting that just raised $90K+ on Kickstarter for a “Rippers Resurrected” edition.
- Shadows of Esteren Book 0 – Prologue and Book 1 – Universe (Agate RPG, $20 total): The English translations of the sensational ENnie-winning French fantasy RPG that shows its Gothic/Celtic atmosphere on every gorgeous page.
- Noctum: Full Corpse Edition (Wicked World Games, retail $15): A disturbing modern-day RPG of existential horror.
That’s a $125 value for less than the cost to spend a night in a haunted mansion. (Granted, that would be a steep price.) Ten percent of this offer’s revenue (after gateway fees) went to its designated charity, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
