Shoppers are turning to RPG bundles to back LGBTQIA+ causes this summer , dozens of publishers and creators have teamed up on Gayming with Pride packs that donate proceeds to Outright International and Tabletop Gaymers, making it easy to play and give.

Essential Takeaways

  • Big-name participation: Dozens of RPG publishers and creators contributed content, from indie hits to established IPs, so there’s something for every table.
  • Charity split: Bundle #1 proceeds go to Outright International; Bundle #2 supports Tabletop Gaymers, each with different missions and community focus.
  • Deep discounts: Many items are offered around 90% off, making support affordable and discovery-friendly.
  • Wide variety: Content spans genres , mystery, horror, fantasy, queer-focused games, and mainstream systems , so you can explore new titles while supporting causes.
  • Additional campaigns: Humble Bundle and other fundraisers run in parallel, amplifying options to donate via gaming purchases.

Why these bundles matter , and why they feel different

There’s a warm, purposeful hum behind these packs that you can practically smell through the screen: creators aren’t just slapping a rainbow on a logo and calling it a day. Instead, publishers have donated actual game content , modules, supplements, and entire systems , and DriveThruRPG is hosting the Gayming with Pride bundles. That means when you buy, you’re getting playable material and directing real money to charities focused on LGBTQIA+ rights and community building. It’s a practical, feel-good way to expand your shelf while doing some good.

Who benefits and what they do

Bundle #1 channels proceeds to Outright International, an organisation that documents human-rights abuses against LGBTQIA+ people globally and pushes for inclusion and protection. Bundle #2 supports Tabletop Gaymers, which works at the grassroots level , turning up at cons, handing out ribbons to help people signal pronouns or allyship, and creating safer, friendlier spaces for queer players. Both approaches matter: one tackles policy and advocacy, the other builds community and visibility where players actually meet.

What’s in the bundles , variety that rewards curiosity

You’ll find a surprising mix: cozy mystery and witchy drama, cosmic horror staples, indie queer-designed games and mainstream systems. Examples include Brindlewood Bay, Delta Green, Fabula Ultima, Thirsty Sword Lesbians content, Girl Genius and modules that nod to big-name properties. That mix means you can pick a bundle because you want to try something new, or because a favourite creator is pitching in. And since many items are heavily discounted, it’s an inexpensive way to sample games you might otherwise overlook.

How to pick the right bundle for your table

Think about system and tone first. If you run gritty investigations, look for Delta Green or similar horror offerings; if your group leans into character-led queer stories, scout the Thirsty Sword Lesbians and queer-focused supplements. Size up file types (print-ready vs digital), watch for recommended player counts, and consider how long you want a campaign to run. If you want to maximise impact, buy both bundles or complement a DriveThruRPG purchase with a Humble Bundle donation , both platforms funnel funds to charities while giving you content to play.

Other ways the games community is fundraising

These bundles are part of a broader pattern: Humble Bundle has concurrent campaigns, indie initiatives like Adventuring With Pride curate queer-positive gaming resources, and fundraising events such as Rain City Games’ button campaign raise cash for local LGBTQ2S+ organisations. The tabletop scene has been quietly turning collective goodwill into tangible support rather than surface-level branding, which is welcome to see.

What this means for players and publishers

For players it’s simple: you get games, you save money, and you send funds to groups doing crucial work. For publishers and creators, these bundles are a way to move beyond performative gestures into meaningful action. It also nudges the hobby toward greater visibility and inclusion, because community-building work tends to have long tail benefits , safer tables, more diverse voices in design, and better representation at conventions.

It’s a small switch with a big ripple , buy a bundle, try something new, and back organisations that help people game safely and proudly.
