DriveThruRPG is having its annual March 4th sale, and extending it a few days after that. In case you didn’t get your fill from the Haiti bundle (and really, who could get their fill of RPG books?) there’s plenty of good stuff to be had on sale, whether you’re buying it for your awesome GM who lets you have that radiant weapon you’ve been seeking, or just stocking up for yourself. Plus, if you did buy the Haiti bundle, this is a chance to send some money back to the publishers who participated.
Some of my recommendations follow, in case you don’t want to flip through the literally hundred plus pages of discounted product:
- Doctor Who Time & Space Adventures, reviewed here
- Snows of an Early Winter, reviewed here
- Mouse Guard, discussed here and winner of an Origins Award for best RPG
- Shambles, a great game by A Terrible Idea where you play as a zombie (instead of against them)
- Starblazer Adventures. a gigantic science fiction RPG we hope to review soon
- Ptolus, the classic Malhavoc Press title easily adaptable to any version of D&D
- Savage Worlds core book, which was already darn cheap
- Deadlands Reloaded, the weird west setting for SW, which we talked about at DC Game Day
- Amethyst: Hearts of Chaos, which fans of 4th Power are going to want to check out
- Anything from Evil Hat… seriously, it’s all good
- And of course, lots, lots more… literally thousands of products
Check it out and let us know if there’s anything else that’s a “must purchase.”

DriveThruRPG Once Again Celebrates GM’s Day With It’s Biggest Sale Ever!
(Atlanta, GA) – March 4th has become well known in RPG fan circles as “Game Master’s Day,” or GM’s Day, a day on which all gamers honor and celebrate the folks who take the time to set up and run roleplaying games. As a part of this celebration, dozens of publishers on DriveThruRPG are offering hundreds upon hundreds of products for sale at 25% off.
“There is no bigger or more important sale for us,” said Sean Patrick Fannon, Marketing and Communications Manager for DriveThruRPG. “Not only is this a powerful and important way to celebrate the most important part of any roleplaying game – the GM – it is vital to our publishers, enabling them to boost their revenue at an important time in their development cycles.”
With what is traditionally called “Convention Season” right around the corner, such a sale is a great way for gamers to get their hands on all that has come out so far. They also strongly support their favorite publishers, thus making sure new products can be made, published, and brought to market at the various conventions around the country and around the world.
“We are very proud to serve the health and diversity of this fantastic hobby,” Steve Wieck of DriveThruRPG, shared. “For a long time, there have been many claiming that RPGs are dying out. They must be missing what’s happening at DriveThruRPG. We had over 300 new RPG releases last month from a diverse group of amazing publishers serving enthusiastic customers all over the world. GM’s day is a great way for us to celebrate the hobby we love.”
The GM’s Day Celebration sale runs from the morning of March 3rd through the morning of March 8th this year. Fans should log in and delve into the huge list of titles on sale. “While they are at it, “Sean Fannon adds, “we hope customers remember to use the ‘Buying for someone else’ option at check out – after all, this is supposed to be a time to celebrate their GMs!”
