Bundle of Holding: Pride Games

June is here, and with it comes a fantastic opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ voices in tabletop gaming. The Bundle of Holding’s Pride Games Bundle is a curated collection of RPGs that highlight queer narratives, diverse characters, and innovative storytelling mechanics. Whether you’re looking for heartfelt romance, cosmic horror, or slice-of-life fantasy, this bundle has you covered, yo!

The first tier of this bundle costs just $9.95 and gets you three roleplaying games:

• Thirsty Sword Lesbians (Evil Hat Productions): A game of swashbuckling adventure and queer romance, where swords clash and hearts race.
• Moonlight on Roseville Beach (R. Rook Games): A queer game of disco and cosmic horror, blending mystery and vibrant nightlife.
• Star Crossed (Bully Pulpit Games): A two-player game of forbidden love, using a precarious Jenga tower to heighten the tension.

I’ve not played these games, largely because I just don’t have a group that I think I’d play them with. Thirsty Sword Lesbians does look like an excellent PbtA game, and I’ve got the book somewhere. I do really rate both Evil Hat and Bully Pulpit at publishers, so I trust them to put out great stuff.

For those who want even more, paying above the threshold price (sitting at $25.28 at the time of writing) unlocks the second tier of this bundle. That gives you everything from the first tier and then the following additional items:

• Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast (Possum Creek Games & Steve Jackson Games): A slice-of-life fantasy RPG centered on a queer found family.
• Advanced Lovers & Lesbians: An expansion for Thirsty Sword Lesbians, adding new playbooks and mechanics.
• Mysteries of Rose Island V1: A collection of scenarios for Moonlight on Roseville Beach.
• Three additional Roseville Beach supplements: Characters, Entities, and Bracknell Horror.

There’s one additional RPG in this tier. Again, like with Thirsty Sword Lesbians, I’m very aware of Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast, having featured it twice on previous 5 on Friday posts, but have played it. The other items are expansions/supplements for the games from the first tier. I think this makes the second tier a little less valuable. If you know you want to play the games in the first tier more than once, then the additional content in the second tier may be useful. Otherwise, you may be better off just grabbing the first tier.

The Pride Games Bundle is more than just a collection of RPGs; it’s a celebration of LGBTQ+ creativity and storytelling. These games provide safe spaces for players to explore identity, relationships, and adventure in ways that resonate deeply. Whether you’re an experienced gamer or new to the tabletop RPG scene, this bundle offers a fantastic way to support queer creators and immerse yourself in compelling narratives.

This bundle is available until Monday, June 23, so don’t miss your chance to grab these incredible games at a great price. You can click here to visit the bundle page over at Bundle of Holding.
