This is a nice one for fans of these kinds of RPG. Although I've seen Geneforge, Avadon and the second Avernum Trilogy PWYW before, this is the first time I've seen what appears to be pretty much a complete Spiderweb catalogue PWYW.

Great package. Like 1000hrs of fun guaranteed if you don't mind the engine.

I will grab this BTA for Nethergate and Avernum: Escape from the Pit.

For me the interesting part is that you also get the hintbooks, which are the first time available outside spiderwebs own shop.

I had to grab this bundle even if I have most of the games elsewhere. Wish Jeff much success!

Hmm.. should I get it for the hintbooks, I wonder... Already have the games, have no use for steam keys, and Avernums can get stuffed. I paid him for Exile 1-3 a few months ago.

I'd rather get the new HB games from GOG to support them.

I miss Avernum 1-3 on Steam, but I must skip for now.

Ah well, so I know why I haven't it yet XD
I just checked my Steam games and noticed that the first trilogy is missing.
Why isn't on Steam?

Dunno. Too old maybe?

I've got everything but Escape from the Pit and Avernum 1-3+Blades of Avernum. I only ever played Avadon though, and I haven't completed it yet. I liked it, but I guess I liked other games more and allowed them to distract me from completing it. I'm not sure if I will ever play through any of the other games; especially after reading various user complaints about how unfair and unbalanced they can be ...

Is Ecape from the Pit worth it? If I'm not mistaken, it is a remake of Avernum 1, with similar engine and graphics as Avadon? And what about Blades of Avernum? That's the one that allows you to play smaller adventures, right? (Does it allow you to create them, too?) Maybe that one could interest me, as I'm rather scared off by the other games' promise of epic length.

Quoted for truth, I have these HB games on GOG. Too bad GOG doesn't have Avernum: Escape the Pit or Nethergate (yet). I noticed that too, nice perk here.

Definitely worth it. There are many great adventures to download for free for Blades of Avernum. I never tried to create my own adventure though, but there is an editor.
