With news of a 6.1 aftershock hitting Haiti today, DriveThruRPG is offering gamers a way to contribute to the relief efforts in Haiti by purchasing a “once in a lifetime collection of games” from their online store for only $20. This mega-bundle contains over 120 e-books with a total retail value of $1481.31 and is an amazing collection. All of the money raised by sales of the package are  going to Doctors Without Borders Haiti Earthquake Response. As of writing, the community had raised $28,870.00.
The full details on the gaming mega-bundle can be found here.
From their announcement:
DriveThruRPG announced a major incentive to the roleplaying gamer community today to incite donations to aid in rescue and recovery in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Called the “Gamers Helping Haiti Bundle,” the product includes over a hundred products totaling over $1000.00 in retail value. For a simple donation of $20 – all of which goes to Doctors Without Borders to support their post-earthquake Haiti relief efforts – RPG fans can have this once-in-a-lifetime collection of gaming products.
DriveThruRPG already had opportunities to donate up and running within a day of the disaster. When publishers began asking how they could support the cause, the bundle was created to be an all-inclusive shared effort. Those who donated at the lesser levels won’t be left out, however; gamers who have already donated $5 or $10 will be receiving a special coupon code that lets them pay the difference from their initial donation to get the bundle.
The site also offers ways for people to donate $5 and $10 amounts as well.
