Who's getting the freebies from RPGNow?

[Hunter In Darkness]

I grabbed almost everything yesterday, then today just said WTH and got it all!

To all the "evil" publishers out there offering tasty little tidbits for free in order to get me hooked for the long run... THANK YOU!
Because that is exactly the way to get me hooked. I am OCD enough that once I start something I usually want _ALL_ of it, so your future sales are pretty much a gimme.

Cool, thanks for the info! (I love free stuff, just look at my sig.)

Hi
I've gotten some great stuff! I urge everyone to check it out. Thank you very much to RPG Now and all the creators/publishers for these great freebies!

 

[Shade]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. Downloading stuff now is the first thing I do when I get home. Yesterday, I picked up a free Goodman Games' Adventure that I want to run as an introductory thing. I also picked up the fantastic Europe 1483 (PDF Board games!? How cool is that!?). A book, 200+ pages, of superhero powers for the d6 system (one of my group's overall favourite systems) makes me want to run a superhero game. Moebius Adventures has a neat chargen system that I enjoyed fiddling with, even if I'm ambivalent towards the system itself.

And today! Today was AWESOME.

Twilight 2000, a game I've always wanted to play, for FREE. I spent two hours reading that book, making characters (it's easy, once you get the gist of it). I really want to find out how that thing plays (and I might just run a Play By Post to do it). Both pulp aids (I think one was released on monday) are pretty nifty, and got a good long skim from me. And many of the d20 things (especially TheLe stuff) are going to be examined and possibly re-worked into my Eberron game.

So much stuff I haven't even had a chance to look at, yet, including wotbs #1 (which I was surprised to see!).

Honestly, though, in the past week, I've downloaded something like ten new (for me) RPG systems, and I kind of want to start running some one-shots to introduce people to some of the non d20 stuff out there. And I now, more than ever, want to design my own system.

This Giveaway is gonna kill me. I've been DLing everything that wasn't music or clip-art.

Some Stuff I'm looking forward to pick up on wednesday and beyond:

Wednesday:
Monkey, Ninja, Robot: The RPG: How could you not want something with a name like that!?
Future Nexus Corebook Because spaceships are fun.
Heavy Gear Blitz! Rulebook mechs are fun, but I'm just loving getting free RPGs.
Broadsides! I have some airships in my Eberron game. This might be useful.
I already have the revised Tome of Horrors, but I HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE. If you can only DL one product, this is it. I use it more than any wotc book.

Thursday:
Gunslingers and Gamblers We've been putting together a western game for a while now, and it's always great to cannibalize rules.
XCrawl Core Rulebook Always wanted to see what this was about.
Conan: The RPG (Pocket Version) Apparently, it's pretty good for a Mongoose product.

Friday:
Honour and Corruption: Simply because it sounds cool.
Stuff to beat up 1: Tech Terrors I use robots in my post-apoc games all the time. Hopefully I can use something from this.
Mundi Animalia Animal World? Sounds neat.
And, of course, the one wotc addition - the 3.0 Book of Challenges, which I picked up for two dollars a year or so ago. (I kind of wish they put up a 2e book or something for grabs, but that doesn't make any sense, of course. I would've thought they would put up UA, since it's all OGL anyways... but this book is a nice addition).

I certainly am Thankful for this golden opportunity to get some great prods that have been on my list for a while.

 

[nerfherder]

I'll take the honest approach and say that it absolutely *is* about getting people to take a look at our other stuff.

And I think that's a very reasonable approach. I've downloaded half a dozen PDFs that looked interesting, and after a quick read of a couple, one looks so useful for my current game that I'll probably buy more from that series. Sounds like a win-win for me and the publishers

Heh, I lucked out by stumbling onto this yesterday. Went looking for the new Freeport release ("Cults of Freeport") and saw the news for this giveaway there. Still need to look through most of what I grabbed.
