[10 days only] Donate for Haiti, get $1500 in PDFs free!

Post by palmer »

THIS IS VALID UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY ONLY

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_i ... &SRC=haiti

The long and the short of it.
DriveThru RPG aka RPGNow is having a donation drive for Doctors Without Borders activities in Haiti.

Donate $20 (100% proceeds to DWB/MSF) and get, for free, a bundle of PDFs with a retail value of nearly $1500. OK, a bunch of items aren't sold at DTRPG for their listed retail price, but it's worth over a thousand (I counted).

There's about 175 items in the bundle from 91 different companies... there's a lot of filler and fluff (17 Archer Feats!), and a lot of quality material (Spycraft Classic AND the Shadowforce Archer worldbook).
A few gems like Serenity, the Firefly RPG, and 3:16, Carnage Amongst The Stars.

It even has Diana: Warrior Princess!

For you Savages, it also includes the MARS campaign setting, which is a (normally $35) $20 PDF on it's own: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_i ... s_id=60955

AND, not to leave out our very own Torstan, his Dragon's Lair Maptool cmpgn is also included! http://www.drivethrustuff.com/product_i ... s_id=65666

There's also some Pathfinder material, other SW stuff and several complete games in there.

This is a deal not to be missed, for a people not to be forgotten.

According to their press release:
There is no set date for terminating the donation efforts, though the bundle will only be available until the end of January.

Very good deal though. Thanks for sharing. I'm passing it along.

Tried ordering this twice and it comes back stating I have no items in my order. Waiting for a response from their Customer Service.

I'm currently getting a "Down for database maintenance" page right now. But I'll keep checking it out periodically...

darnit, I've had to pass up lots of donations because my only plastic disappeared over the weekend. Now I have to pass up a mutual benefit one as well...

Oh well, the apartment is running a clothes and food drive... and the grocery store still takes checks.

This is very nice. ^.^ I was going to give to the Red Cross anyways, so now I'll just split $20 of that into this effort. I figured out of all those PDFs, there are bound to be a lots of idea gems even if they don't fit the system du jour.

What was their response on that?

I tried via CC a few times and kept getting "No items". Didn't charge my card though.
Then I did PayPal and it went through, so I didn't bother with contacting them.

When I got it last night, it was still set up as a direct purchase "bundle"
It seems now they've changed it to issue a coupon code instead. Probably having a 175 item bundle was killing their server.

My original source was the Obsidian Portal newsletter, which explicitly stated it was 24 hours.

Perhaps OBS changed that plan. I don't know for certain.
I do know that press release page didn't exist last night at 1am PST when I donated.

They may have changed this because of the server slam.

Their reply was wait and try again or use PayPal. Now, I am not able to place all of the items in my new cart as it is saying the coupon code has been used three times already. I was not able to place all 175 items in my cart, so I was doing three pages at a time. I sent another Customer Service request to place the coupon code once and receive a email with all 175 items D/L info. We'll see what they say.
