In March 2026 we presented the new Magpie Games Apocalypse Megabundle featuring Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game, Root: The Roleplaying Game, Masks: A New Generation, Cartel, and many other RPGs from Magpie Games that are all Powered by the Apocalypse rules system. Easy to learn and fast-playing, with no character classes, levels, or hit points, the story-forward PbtA makes every character unique and every 2d6 die roll important. The games in this new Megabundle use the Apocalypse Engine to let you tell stories of Aang, Korra, and the Four Nations – woodland adventure and mischief – young superheroic sidekicks finding their way – dark carnival fantasy, 1950s suburban paranoia, fairy-tale horror, scandal-packed telenovelas, and savage Mexican narcofiction.
This Magpie Games Apocalypse offer pulled in more than a dozen Magpie Games rulebooks and supplements from six past offers (2016-2024) and added nine titles new to the Bundle of Holding – including Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game, funded in the biggest Kickstarter campaign in roleplaying game history.
There were nine complete titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $139) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Starter Set and the core rulebooks for Root: The Roleplaying Game, Masks: A New Generation, Bluebeard’s Bride, Pasión de las Pasiones, Epyllion: A Dragon Epic, and Undying, as well as the “ashcan” playtest editions of Crossroads Carnival and Passing.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection with sixteen more titles worth an additional $283:
- The full-color 306-page Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game core rulebook and three supplements: Republic City, Uncle Iroh’s Adventure Guide, and Wan Shi Tong’s Adventure Guide
- Cartel, a game of narcos and melodrama in the Mexican drug wars
- The Root: The Roleplaying Game supplements Clearing Booklet 1 and Travelers & Outsiders
