Why the Eberron sale? I can only assume it’s because of the upcoming Eberron: Forge of the Artificer which you can pre-order on Roll20 for a bonus of up to $120 of extra Roll20 rewards. Why “up to”? Because each bonus is only available for a limited time, so the sooner you pre-order, the more bonuses you unlock over time!
- Price: $19.99 (with $120 of bonus material)
We’ve got several bundles added for Roll20 and Demiplane where you get PDF, VTT files, and Nexus access for each.
Charity Bundles and Sales
Once again, I’m starting off with my GoFundMe for medical bills. From late October to mid November, I was hospitalized with kidney failure and infected wounds in my lower legs. My insurance has fully kicked in and I don’t have to worry about any new bills or transportation costs. However, over the past months, I’ve racked up a LOT of credit card debt paying for medical transport to get me to my appointments along with stuff like buying groceries and paying bills. I also have a stack of past-due medical bills about an inch thick I really need to start making a dent in. Any help you can give so I can pay down these high interest cards will be a huge assistance.
