Hex Games is having a sale on their Hobomancer RPG for Labor Day!

You might not think of hobos as playing a role in the labor movement, but the original meaning of the word “hobo” was “one who travels to work.” This differentiated them from tramps (who traveled but did not work) and bums (who neither traveled nor worked). There was even a hobo union--the Tourist Union #63--founded in part to distinguish hobos looking for honest work from run-of-the-mill vagrants. Many hobos were also members of more traditional unions (especially the International Workers of the World). When workers went on strike, it was common for workers (hobo or not) to hop a train and “boom” into town, showing support for their fellow workers and swelling the strike’s numbers so that jailing every striker would be prohibitively expensive for the local government. To celebrate the role that hobos played in the labor movement, we’re offering 25% off the Ennie Award-winning Hobomancer RPG, the Hobomancer Companion, and Suicide’s Run: A Tale of the Hobomancers PDFs from now until September 9.
