I suggest the $25 Bundle level, as you get everything, including the core books for both games.
From our friends at Cubicle 7, play your own role in the Warhammer 40,000 universe with two unique approaches to tabletop RPGs! In the Deathwatch line, you’ll be placed on the frontlines of the Imperium’s battle to spread humanity’s influence across the galaxy. In Rogue Trader, you’ll be thrust into the unknown regions of space searching for profit and plunder. Get core rulebooks for both experiences along with dozens of expansions, campaigns, and resource kits, and help support Children’s Health Ireland!

An evolution of dice and coins that offers a more immersive gaming experience! Original Dice Coins reborn with a base unit & new size.
I like coins, especially fantasy coins, and like most gamers, I love dice. It's in my blood.
These Dice Coins are literally the dangerous combination of two of my loves.
You can snag one Dice Coin and a base from the Kickstarter for 24 bucks plus shipping, but if you are like me, you probably want the full set (with a base) for 99 bucks plus shipping.

Heckin’ Good Doggos is a family friendly, all ages role-playing game where the players take on the roles of humankind’s best friends: The dog! It is a game of "Dogs doin' Dog Stuff" that focuses on the kinds of stories and adventures dogs can get into such as:
Finding their favorite treats.
Barking at that squirrel up in the tree.
Finding their human Best Friend who has gone missing.
Banishing an ancient spirit that threatens the neighborhood.
Scavenging for supplies in a futuristic wasteland.
And so much more!
Heckin’ Good Doggos is a game of make believe where players can experience the world from an animal’s point of view. Some things will seem familiar, like protecting their backyard from potential threats and protecting their owners, while others are purely fantastic and whimsical situations they find themselves in like helping a ghost resolve its business so it can leave this world. It is simultaneously serious and silly, with an emphasis on crafting scenarios that make players have a blast while also having to solve the many challenges they will experience in ways that only doggos can.

I've been a Black Library Warhammer fiction fan for years, but I prefer audiobooks over electronic copies. Humble Bundle bundles are a fantastic way to catch up for those who prefer digital copies.
Discover the fearless exploits of the Adeptus Astartes—the elite Space Marines of the Warhammer 40,000 universe—in this collection of novels & fiction from Black Library! This galaxy-spanning bundle gathers war stories of Chapters and squads from across the Imperium, charged with defending humanity against the relentless forces of Chaos. Explore the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and support EveryLibrary with your purchase!

Imagine a Victorian world, but not as history tells us it was, but as the literature implies that it was. Believe that the literature from the period was more than just stories; instead, it was first-hand accounts of the events that happened in the world.
At NTRPG Con this past June, I talked about the forthcoming Gaslight Victorian FantasyBackerkit with Jonathan Thompson. I told Jonathan I was very much NOT a 5e player, but the more he pitched the setting, the more I was tempted. I am still very much NOT a fan of 5e D&D, but I do expect I'll be adding Gaslight Victorian Fantasy to my gaming shelves, digital and/or physical (but damn, I'm running low on space for new physical purchases)
Sixteen years ago, Jonathan M. Thompson and Stephen Miller introduced the world to Gaslight Victorian Fantasy. Battlefield Press is proud to bring you the revision that Jonathan was working on when we lost him. A fully updated and revised version for 5E Fantasy. This edition features an all-new cover brought to us by William W. Connors!
Imagine a Victorian world, not as history tells us it was, but as the literature implies that it was. Believe that the literature from the period was more than just stories, but instead first-hand accounts of the events that happened in the world. Imagine a world populated by the lost boys of J.M. Barrie, the Beast Men of Dr. Moreau, and even tales of an immortal vampire named Dracula. Included in these are organizations bent on determining what is best for humanity, and they have launched a secret war against others so that only one will prevail.
In Gaslight, you will find:
A History of Gaslight Earth
Races detailed for Gaslight Earth
New interpretations of Victorian Economics, including both a cash and target-based wealth system
Rules for Social Standing
Weapons and equipment from the Victorian era
A Reliquary containing a few artifacts from the history of the Earth of Gaslight.
A detailed Gazetteer and Timeline, including *NEW* information on other parts of the world, both the British Empire and its adversaries.
*NEW* Secret Organizations
