White Box Giveaway - PDF Bundle of White Box Treasures, Companion and Newly Released Bestiary!
I was talking with +James Spahn of Barrel Rider Games earlier today about his newest White Box release - Bestiary - and we both had the same thought: why not do a White Box Bundle Giveaway?
So here it is.
James is giving away a PDF bundle of his three White Box Releases - Treasures, Companion and Bestiary.
Treasures is currently the hottest title on RPGNow and Companion is sitting at third.
What do you need to do to be in the mix? Simply make a comment on this post by 730 PM Eastern Time tomorrow, Saturday, February 28th, 2015.
Yep - 24 hrs to enter, so don't wait ;)

ReplyDeleteCount me in
ReplyDeleteThis is a very groovy thing, colour me interested. And the top 4 spots at RPGNow is quite an acheivement.
ReplyDeleteVery interested to see this take on a companion volume to the White Box rules, which themselves are a deliberately trimmed back version of the regular S&W game. OSR really seems to send people off in creative directions from the original core.
ReplyDeleteStrange. it didn't take my previous post
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see them!
