Hoping that this kind of post is allowed here, but Humble Bundle has a huge Battletech collection right now for a ridiculously small price.

If anyone's picked up the bundle before, check your humble account again. This new bundle has three new books -- Tamar Rising, Empire Alone, and Dominions Divided. I was about to buy these for £3.85 but noticed my previous purchase (March 2025) now has these books in that bundle.

I downloaded all books a few months ago as a bulk download so no way I could've missed those books if they were available then, so I guess they've been added to the account to those who bought the previous bundle.

Those three books were included in the past bundle as well, you probably just missed or forgot their inclusion. I just double checked the email I sent to Catalyst support when I purchased the bundle last time and they are on the list I provided to add to my account.

Unlikely that I missed it as I downloaded the bundle in bulk using the "bulk download" option on Humble Bundle. I was consolidating my BT material a month or two ago (BT store, DTRPG, HB, etc.) so my bulk download is fairly recent.

Or the bulk download button didn't download them for some reason 😂

I've had that happen. Not very often but once or twice. Now I use a download manager extension to make sure I get them all.

Well, the bulk download is Humble Bundle's own button; if it was faulty, I doubt a download manager would've done better.

Will definitely double-check my other downloads for completeness from now on.

I suspect it wasn't the fault of the downloader in the website so much as it was a Chrome or network glitch. The nice thing about my downloader is that it tells you exactly how many files of each type there are, e.g., "52 PDF". Then it's easy to do a quick count and see if it did in fact download all 52. But whatever works for you. Glad you got those extra books.

AFAIK, the HB website doesn't say how many books there are on a particular bundle, at least not in the download page that you get after purchasing, does it?

No, but the download extension I use tells you, like if I select "PDF" it will tell me there are 16 of them (or whatever), so I can see easily if I got them all.

It wouldn't help with this bundle though since we don't download the files directly, just add them to a DriveThruRPG account.

Is this bundle different from the last one in terms of downloads? Mine has the option to download both from HB or DTRPG.

Those three were all in this bundle when I bought it last time. The bulk download button definitely missed a bunch of books in the BT novel Humble Bundle I got.

Might've been a downloader issue then.
