I have bought the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit Bundle and checked out two titles new to me first: Breakfast Cult and #iHunt: The RPG. Here are my first impression from reading about the books.
Breakfast Cult: "a Fate Accelerated TTRPG about cosmic horror mysteries and high school drama. " The art is colourful and cartoon style, which I think fit the game theme well. The book presents the setting and rules very clearly. Each character has a secret agenda so they may work at cross purpose amid cosmic horror investigation and teen drama. Depending on the game, the secret can range from more silly and high school drama trope (eg: Crush on X) to more serious (eg: Secret cultist). It provides pre-gen characters and scenarios so you can start a game easily. If you like Buffy, Harry Potter, or Soul Eaters, I think it'll serve well.
#iHunt: The RPG. "Killing monsters in the gig economy": It's a much darker game than Breakfast Cult. You play monster hunters who are also gig workers barely surviving on what they earn, dealing with sales tax and banking trouble. The book is thick - ~329 pages. The starting fiction set the setting's grim and depressing mood. The text (including the rules) is written in a more angry conversational tone, which YMMV whether you like it or not. There are robust advice about creating monsters, setting and the game rules. I think it does its focus very well.
Overall it's a worthwhile purchase for a good cause.
