Trail of Cthulhu Bundle

This is another offer of PDF RPGs at low price - this time for Gumshoe and the Cthulhu setting. 10% of the proceeds after costs will go to Cancer Research UK, a charity I've supported for many years. The offer runs to June 16th.

STARTER COLLECTION ($9.95 - retail value $43)

• Trail of Cthulhu (retail price $21): The complete rulebook.
• Stunning Eldritch Tales (retail $9): Four adventures
• Keeper's Resource Book & Screen (retail $8)
• Four Shadows (retail $5): Atmospheric music

BONUS COLLECTION (threshold starts at $21.95 - retail value $65)

• The Armitage Files ($17) + handouts file
• Bookhounds of London ($20)
• Book of the Smoke: Occult Guide to London ($13)
• Arkham Detective Tales Extended Edition ($9)
• Rough Magicks ($6)

The customer can pay any price (minimum $9.95) to get all the titles in the Starter Collection. If you pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $21.95 to start, you also get all the titles in the Bonus Collection. Obviously this gets more expensive as it goes along, so buy early if you want the bonus collection! There may also be a mystery item added later - if so, everyone who buys the Bonus Collection will get it. These files are DRM-free.

Disclaimer - I should point out that one of the perks of blogging these bundles is that I get free downloads. Nevertheless, I think that they're pretty good value, and wouldn't plug them if I didn't.

Compensating for Something

I mentioned that I'd had to give a refund on a Mac Mini I sold on eBay that was returned to me with the Wifi defunct. Brian WINOLJ suggested I make a claim for compensation from Collect+, the courier company I used. It turned out that when I added everything up I was out £47.07; the original postage, a refund for postage I gave to the customer because it was DOA, and the money I lost by it selling for a much lower price when I relisted it. To be honest, I thought that I'd be lucky to get the cost of posting back because there was no obvious damage to the outside of the package, but following several emails and a letter (sent recorded delivery to make it clear I was serious) they're going to send me the full amount!

The moral, I think is that if you don't ask you don't get.
