I’m an Apron Salesman!

This is sort of hilarious. I’ve sold Purple Sorcerer and old-school gaming themed t-shirts for a while now through SpreadShirt, and while I appreciate the extremely loyal friends who have purchased stuff over the years, the sales are fairly sporadic. As a result, I haven’t paid much attention to the store. Lo and behold, I checked into the shop today, and discovered I now sell hats! And cell-phone cases! And APRONS! All at prices I likely can’t afford. 😉

It seems a bit of a jumble which designs can be used on which bit of kit, but if you’ve been pining for a ‘C is for Catoblepas’ cell phone case, or a ‘Just a Pointy Stick and a Dream!’ hat (and you’ve got cash burning a hole in your pocket) I’ve got you covered!

It’s time to announce the rewards and prizes for this year’s Free Tools Pledge Drive!

We set records in both the number of supporters and in the generosity of their gifts, and when you add that to the incredibly pool of prizes provided by other members of the community, I’m not sure I can say thanks enough. I’ve already picked up extremely helpful hardware and other tools with this year’s funds that I think will make the coming year among the best yet in terms of tool building!

I wish everyone could win a special prize. But no one walks away empty handed! I’ve already distributed over 450 codes for our PDF adventures. And the amazing Dak Ultimak, in addition to providing a number of print or PDF bundles of Crawl! Zines as random prizes, has offered to share a Crawl #1 PDF to everyone who otherwise didn’t win a random prize. You’re the best Dak!

If you are a physical prize winner, I’ll be contacting you to confirm your address. If you’ve won a PDF, let me know if the code hasn’t arrived in your inbox in the next day or two. Ok, let’s get to it!

Pledge Drive Complete: This Community Rocks!

The generosity of the Dungeon & Mutant Crawl Classics community is just amazing. The 2018 Free Tools Pledge Drive is complete, and we’ve raised over $4500! Good grief that is incredible. This makes so many things possible that I just couldn’t do on my own.

Prizes

There are usually a few late donations that come in over the night depending on time zones, etc. So I’ll officially start tabulating things tomorrow. I’ll do the bulk of the work of sending out emails to the top donors, and determining random prizes on Monday, so I should be able to start announcing prizes Monday evening or Tuesday!

Read more about what the funds are making possible of the Pledge Drive page.

2018 Free Tools Pledge Drive!

That special time of year has rolled around once again: The 2018 Purple Sorcerer Games Free Tools Pledge Drive is Underway!

We do this once a year to raise funds to help cover the costs of creating, maintaining, testing, publishing, and hosting our free tools. As always there’s a pile of awesome prizes and rewards available to those who participate, supplied by the coolest people in the hobby, including the Dark Master himself! (If you’d like to add something to the prize pool, let me know quickly so we can add it to the list!)

The drive will run through next Saturday. I’m always astonished by the generosity of this community: thanks so much for your continuing support of the free tools!
