Gamers Helping Haiti: do good, get $1500 of role-playing games for $20
Before you get excited, modern video console gamers -- yes you, the one playing HALO -- I mean original table-top role-playing games. Dungeons & Dragons, that kind of thing! DriveThru RPG is offering, until the end of January, $1481 worth of RPG books and materials for the paltry sum of $20. There's a page listing every book in the bundle, but it's pretty damn long. Safe to say, there's something for everyone... even the furries.
If you're wondering where the 'helping Haiti' bit comes in, well, your $20 is then donated to Doctors Without Borders -- every last cent of it. Basically, these guys are giving away their stuff to help save lives in Haiti. Modern-day heroes I tell you!
Even if you're not a (proper) RPG fan, this is still a very good deal. Perhaps you know a friend that would appreciate an RPG book -- or maybe this is finally an excuse for you to jump into the mythical, dangerous, girls-in-tiny-suits-of-armor world of dice-and-dragon slaying?
It is just $20, after all.

Oops, never mind. I see they are all downloads.

I don't mind giving 20 bucks to Médecins Sans Frontières -- the organization name -- but not to empty someone's shelves of mostly ... can I say junk when I don't see any use for the package 'offered' for just $20?
C'mon, boys and girls, we're in 21th century US of A, we're helping people, not getting handouts in counterpart. Or is it a capitalist trademark?

The Serenity RPG is included - surely that's a good start.

I wasn't aware that Steam provided downloads of tabletop RPG manuals.
