Thanks - I've wanted Splintered Faith and the Pathfinder Rappan Athuk for a while, and money has been tight.
Yeah, this bundle is amazing. Period. Rappan Athuk alone justifies it. Actually, Rappan Athuk alone is worth two of these bundles in terms of raw money. It's a really good deal.
Heck, I own 6 of these books, and it's still a really good deal.
Looking forward to trying out Kobold Press and Green Ronin, though. I've been spending most of my money on the Frogs, haven't had a chance to try other publishers.. until now.
I love that the pdf I've been wanting for a while, but haven't broken down to get is in this bundle deal. Freeport: The City of Adventure! Woohoo!
I got this humble bundle and I must comment that only the Frog God Game PDFs can be added to your account in their web store. Even though both Kobold Press and Green Ronin have their own web stores where you could add said pdfs to your account, for some reason they do not offer said option, which imo is short-sighted since they could attract customers to their stores with said option. Worst case scenario they do not have faith their web stores will be online five years from now :/

I have total faith the Kobold Press web store will be around in 5 years (it's been around for 10 so far!).
However, since Frog God was the group that organized the bundle, they're the ones with the direct downloads from their own store. Just the way that Humble Bundle sets things up, they deal with a single company as their point-of-contact.

Mhh, the direct download links you get immediately after paying are from the humble bundle, not frog god games. In the webpage with the download links you get this message "Want access to your purchased bundle in the future? Click here to learn how!" with a link to google forms (outside humble bundle and frog god games website) that asks for your e-mail and asks if you want to opt to also get a backup of the pdfs in the frog god games, it should have been trivial to also add an option in the form to do the same for the kobold press and green ronin pdfs. Unless of course is business as usual and the business models expects customers to buy more than once the very same product(pdf) -_-

Like I said, I did not set up the deal or the forms. I've asked the Frogs about it. I agree that it seems straightforward.

@137ben: Confirmed, the Frogs are sharing the spreadsheet, and your Kobold PDFs will be available on the Kobold Press store (if you have an existing account).
@GM Rednal: Yep, the Humble Bundle download comes first. Then when the offer is over, we go in and add the titles to the various publisher stores. Easy peasy.
@Wolfgang Baur. Thank you very much m(_ _)m
Does anybody knows any ritual to summon Chris Pramas (Green Ronin) to this thread? >_<

Hey all, we need to double check the technical details but if we get the thumbs up from our webmaster, Green Ronin is happy to follow Kobold's lead and do the same in the Green Ronin Online Store.

These three companies need to get out there and aggrandise themselves more, IMO.
I backed it anyway - thanks for making it easy to do a good thing.
Excellent package of really great gaming material at a ridiculously low price. I already own about half the package already (Rappan Athuk, Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms, Dead Man's Chest, etc) but what I don't have is easily worth the $15. Didn't even hesitate after I read the list over :)
We're approaching the last 48 hours! Come take a look at ridiculously good prices on some wonderful content from Green Ronin, Kobold Press, and Frog God Games!
