BLOG Top RPG Authors Unite For Charity Project

Ebooks are great, in an entirely different, and yet complementary way, to print books (see how I sidestepped the Sharks vs Jets style never-ending battle there?). A print book is a beautiful object that encodes itself with the memories of your experience with it even as you read it, a physical marker of something you’ve read and experienced. Plus it’s really easy to get authors to sign.

Ebooks lack the physical immediacy but make an asset of that. You can stack ebooks and they weigh far less than the same amount of print books, and I say that as someone whose Kindle groans under the weight of the titles on it but whose back doesn’t grown under the weight of my Kindle. Ebooks are light and adaptable and make a virtue of their differences to print books as much as their similarities. Plus, ebooks mean you can do things like Bundle Of Holding .

Bundle Of Holding is an initiative set up by a group of professional RPG authors to help the Child’s Play and Reading Is Fundamental charities. Child’s Play is the charity set up by Penny Arcade to help get toys and games to sick children worldwide, whilst Reading Is Fundamental is dedicated to making sure every child in the US has access to books and knows how to read, specialising in working with children from birth to eight years old. Both are incredibly good causes, and perfectly suited to a project like this.
