I liked a fair amount of the Scarred Lands stuff.
Hollowfaust, in particular, was a fun take on a city of necromancers. 'Hans! The army of the undead is coming!'
'What are they doing?!'
'Umm... looks like they're fixing the road and rebuilding the bridge....'

There are some free copies of clone Tainted, (via DriveThruRPG), for grabs in the thread on Tainted!
There's also a Christmas and New Year coupon code for $9.99 that will be followed by similar codes.
The only (unread) comment here so far is "S&W Hack". This is true, but there are also OSR materials from across the SRDs, a stack of fresh OSR content, (easily adapted to other versions), plus a license to print multiple copies of the Player's Guide for personal use by players

The Warstore is having a We Don't Want To Work After Christmas sale starting December 30th, but with more savings if you wait until the 31st and use the coupon code Back to Work - from the site:

Neal at the Warstore said:A Few Important Notes on the Rationale for the Sale
-- To be honest, we don't want to work hard between Christmas and New Years either!
It seems like all the staff are either stuck visiting Aunt Martha or have a bad case of the Shingles starting Dec 26th. So for customers will to wait for things to get to some semblance of normality - a nice extra discount
-- To be even more honest, sometimes I feel like the only one in this industry actually working between Christmas and New Years.
It can be frustrating. Our suppliers outside the US? All closed - period. US manufacturers and distributors? Skeleton crews. USPS is recovering from Christmas, UPS is on holiday schedule. Shipments in and out - delays, delays, delays are the order of the day. Ordering between Christmas and New Years is probably not going to speed up your order anyway.
-- To be brutally honest, it doesn't get much better in early January either.
All of our manufacturers, distributors and suppliers are slow to get going in January. Please don't email me about how your January order arrived later than expected. For your patience, we got you this nifty discount for your real Christmas present! .
Enjoy our Holiday Sale!

I love the Scarred Lands, I even have an author credit in three of their books. I just can't get excited about their 10% off sale after they doubled (and more for many scarred lands ones) the price of their pdfs earlier this year.
