[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9435099, member: 20564"] Yeah. The Humble Bundle I can confirm - it's still open. $30 for 50 items totaling $1018 value. I've purchased a number of these games myself in the past year; this isn't a dead catalog nor superseded editions. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.humblebundle.com/software/free-league-immersive-rpg-bundle-for-alchemy-vtt-software[/URL] And the Humble Bundle is specifically for access to them on the Alchemy VTT. What I don't have reliable information is if Alchemy had the rights to distribute the PDF. It could be that they didn't, so were just in the wrong. Or did but for a percentage of the sale price which right now is 97% off and perhaps legal if not fair, which I could see Free League making a move to protect themselves. Free League is generally a pretty customer-centric company, and takes part in the Bit and Mortar program that Pelgrane Press started where if you buy a physical book from them or a participating FLGS (and it's free to participate), they will send you the PDF for free. They have a history of not making money-grubbing moves around their PDFs. This seems really out of character for them as a company which is why I think getting both sides of the story and not just Alchemy's press release is in order.
