I got all 7 of their 5th ed adventures for less than $12 including shipping. Around $1.70 a module!
ReplyDeleteWoah, what, the sale includes 5e versions? Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, I forgot it's Troll Lord. $13.25 shipping for a single module. Yeah... no...
ReplyDeleteOMG 16 adventures for $25 including S&H ...
ReplyDeleteThis was a wicked deal!
I don't even dare to look how much shipping to the EU would be:-)
ReplyDelete20 modules for right under $27 including shipping. Damn glad there is media mail - too bad it doesn't extend to the EU and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteI snagged A0 through A12 for $18.53 shipped. I just couldn't pass this deal up. As soon as it dropped into my inbox I headed to the TLG store and grabbed 'em.
ReplyDeleteShipping to Canada was waaaayyy too expensive and they had no slower-but-cheaper choices available, so I had to pass.
ReplyDeleteGetting a little tired of these egregious shipping rates.
