EN Publishing, EN World’s tabletop arm, have a standalone TTRPG called Awfully Cheerful Engine. The action-comedy game is written by Russ Morrissey.
The roleplaying game’s D6 dice pool system (influenced by Ghostbusters and W.O.I.N.) facilitates the quick creation of diverse hero types. Adventures are typically fast-paced, high-spirited, genre-blending, and not taken seriously, set within a wide range of pop-culture-inspired universes.
The bundle is live only until Thursday, June 5.

ACE is accessible for novices and young players, using only a few d6 dice and eschewing complex rules or bulky character sheets. All character info is condensed onto a credit-card-sized ‘ACE ID Card.’ A character consists of a Role (e.g., occupation, species), a defining Trait (like ‘Impulsive’ or ‘Smelly’), plus 1-5 ratings in Smarts, Moves, Style, and Brawn. A versatile Power rating may also be included for special abilities in specific settings.
The Bundle of Holding notes that this is a new ACE offer.
