The High Voltage Tabletop Bundle is a collection of Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) put together by game designer, streamer and voice actor, Nathan Blades. The bundle showcases 20 games from 20 game creators from novice designers to bigger names on the TTRPG scene.
The theme of the bundle is fast-paced, energetic, action orientated games. As Nathan puts it:
The High Voltage Tabletop Bundle is a collection of tabletop games designed to play fast and loud – whether that’s because they set up and play quickly, come packed with more action than a shounen battle anime, or fuel vibrant, energetic character moments in both success and tragedy. Laser gunfights, burning rubber, music so loud it wakes the neighbors.
Co-op bundles like these can showcase tabletop talent and provide special deals for players. At $20, this bundle is far more cost effective than buying these games individually.
Indie tabletop games are typically more difficult to get hold of than mainline tabletop games that you can see displayed at local game stores. Nathan’s intention was to use this bundle to connect people looking for a fun tabletop experience with the creators of these games. He writes:
This set of twenty games for $20 is curated to give you an exciting taste of what indie game design has to offer for those looking for some bite to their gaming.
I’m so excited about all the games that are part of this bundle, and that I can highlight talented creators from all sorts of scales.
The High Voltage Tabletop Bundle is available on itch.io until January 31st 2024.
