Buy Books, Help Haiti
January 20, 2010 
DriveThruRPG has put together a pretty cool bundle of gaming products, all for the low, low price of only $20. Even better, it's a steal -- it's about a $1,400 value, all for just a twenny. And the best part is that the proceeds go toward the Haiti Earthquake Response fund for Doctors Without Borders. I've put the PDF version of Demimonde in there with the bundle, so if you haven't read it yet, now's your chance to pick up a copy and give to a worthy charity at the same time.
A word of warning -- response has been so overwhelming, DTRPG's servers have been hammered. Marketing manager Sean Patrick Fannon puts it thus:
To put it poetically, the collective hearts of the gaming community far outstrip our poor servers!
This has been a true embarrassment of riches, both in terms of what our publishers offered for free in their generosity and the amazing response of the gaming community. We simply had no idea how huge this would turn out to be.
We are working feverishly this morning and all day long to resolve the situation. Rest assured that everyone WILL get what was promised them when this is all said and done.
We do ask that you wait a couple of days before coming back to the site to get the bundle or to download your purchases. We may go to an alternate plan where we send you coupons for everything, so, as the surfers say, "hang loose," please.
Your patience is greatly appreciated, and your generosity humbles us to our core.
Snap this up quick. You'll scratch that gaming itch and you'll be doing the world some good at the same time.

As a note, the speed issues have been fixed now. So when you buy the product, you'll get a coupon good for any of the Haiti Relief items, then after that you'll need to go grab those items separately and use the coupon to get them for free.
We're still throttling the downloads to keep from overtaxing our download server, so you won't be able to download these products immediately, but we will send you an email once you're able to do so.
Cool, thanks for the update, Mike!
