I certainly don't need $1,400 in PDFs by any means, but the donation to the relief effort is what matters the most.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8678','BryanB'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> It is nice to see the generosity of the gaming publishers as they help gather donations for a good cause.

Fortunately, we got it worked out, and yes, there's a lot of material in there I'll never use, but it's an amazing deal and I'm helping other people by taking all this free stuff just for a donation? Total no-brainer. Good job Gnomes for also advertising!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8676','Omnus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I posted this as soon as Obsidian Portal E-mailed me about it to my Facebook page, and I hit the credit card wall literally minutes after they started offering the donation site.

This is a worthy cause, and it is a great deal. I forked over my $20 without delay when I was able to get access to the site. They won't let me download my selections yet. That is fine as I am sure their servers are swamped today. I don't mind waiting because a lot of the items that the publishers donated are items that I wanted to buy anyhow. For $20 I have already put $200 worth of stuff into my queue. In other words, this isn't crap that they are donating but great stuff! It is wonderful to see a company and publishers put forth their best to help others. And it is working - $17,570 raised as of this post. :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8658','Patrick Benson'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I buy from RPGNow.com/DriveThruRPG.com a lot, and I have always had a pleasant experience buying from them.

So was that a fluke or in the past or does RPGNow sell email addresses to spammers? I'd like to be able buy stuff from them, but I can't in conscience support a company that enables spammers.
