Even if you've never heard of TTRPG publisher Free League, you've probably at some point seen the cover of one of its games and gone «Wow, what's that?». With books like the Alien RPG, The One Ring, and Vaesen, the Swedish company has shown off incredible art direction, refined production values, and damn clever game design. It's on a serious roll lately (no pun intended), now standing as one of the most respected publishers in the business—and, for my money, one of the best to ever do it.
All of which is to say, getting 29 great Free League books for just $18/£14.20 is a deal to leap at. That's the latest TTRPG offering over at Humble Bundle, running until December 19, and even if you're sick of hearing me point out great deals over there, this one's definitely worth a look.
Though it doesn't cover every Free League game, the bundle totals $585/£460.75 worth of stuff, and includes:

My personal top pick of the bunch is Dragonbane. I'm gearing up at the moment to GM the excellent core set campaign, The Secret of the Dragon Emperor, and I'm really excited to get stuck in with the system.

Apparently they're a big thing in Sweden?
All the PDFs are simply added to your DriveThruRPG account—much nicer than using Humble Bundle's own download system, with the added benefit that if the books ever get updated, you can always re-download to get the latest version.
There are also smaller and cheaper bundles available, including one at
