I couldn't figure out the best place to stick this, but the 3PP content seemed like the closest...
I wanted to share something with you that the folks over at DriveThru RPG are doing. Working with numerous publishers (including folks supporting PRPG such as 4 Winds Fantasy, Otherworld Creations, and Purple Duck Games) they have put together a bundle of products to raise money for Pakistan Flood Relief, specifically working with the group Doctors Without Borders. Some folks may not care about the relief effort, and just go snag $725 of PDFs for $25. That's a good deal anywhere. For the rest, I can tell you from direct experience working in "3rd World" countries that water-based catastrophes like this are a terrible, terrible thing. The immediacy of need in Pakistan is great, and the problems will linger for years to come. Thanks, DTRPG, for getting something like this together!
And of course, the link:
This seems like a worthy cause and, if I had a shipping product already, I'd contribute to the bundle. Good on all of those publishers that are pitching in.
Do you know if this is something they do a lot, for other causes? If so, is there a notification page or list to find out about them? Just curious, for the future.

Edit: Wow. There's quite a bit of identifiably good stuff in there - and a lot of weird stuff in which I imagine many jewels are buried. I think I'll pick it up myself.

I'm not sure if they have a notification of any sort, but I do know they did a similar effort for Haiti. You can probably http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/newsletter_current.php to get a heads-up. I happen to live near Sean Patrick Fannon, who heads up their marketing and communications and so I noticed it on Sean's Facebook.
And as a note for everyone, this is the last full day for the sale!
