Looks like the "Gamers Helping Haiti" coupon drive at DriveThruRPG is a runaway hit. Earlier today their front page said they'd raised $20,000 so far. Just now, logging in to select my downloads from the available list, the total was already up to $33,000. Go go go!
For what it's worth, I picked up over $200 worth of PDFs for my $20 donation. Some of the stuff, like the Castles & Crusades equipment book or "No Dignity in Death", has immediate applicability; other stuff, like the Streets of Mayhem paper terrain or the Savage Worlds books, comprises things I've had my eye on in the past but haven't been able to justify purchasing; the rest, including the two, count 'em, two Wrestling RPGs--no idea how that's supposed to work--falls under the "what the hell, it's now or never" category.
Here's the complete list of what I got:

I got mine also tonight. There are so many good things to go through. I'm looking forward to some of the lesser known items.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the $20 for me to get the Pathfinder items, the Savage Worlds settings, BASH!, Cortex, and Serenity. All of the other items were just bonus material. Granted I won't read, much less use 50% of it but it was still one hell of a deal. Plus you get the bonus of having you money go to a good cause(don't tell anyone, but I'd have paid $40 for less than half the material I got). It's a win, win situation.
ReplyDeleteSome cool stuff here. I love the fact that I (and it sounds like others as well) are getting material from publishers I've never read before. For example, Bits of Darkness is a wonderful read and inspired me to make quick changes to this weekend's planned adventure.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I'm still in the process of downloading and looking over everything, but the exposure to products I never would have gotten otherwise has so far been a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to post some mini-reviews of unexpected gems in the near future.
