For those who are fans of Greg Stafford's "King Arthur Pendragon RPG", there is a fantastic deal on right now at bundleofholding.com for pretty much every Pendragon book one could ever want.
I just bought it, and I'm extremely happy.

how have i never heard of this website before family friendly bundle here we come
When I checked it earlier today it showed Paranoia. I didn't realize they sometimes run multiple bundles at once. I was heartbroken when I found that this Pendragon one is a resurrection of the bundle they ran back in June of this year. I tried to get wifey to create a character with Knights and Ladies. No dice. :(
Now it makes sense that they added another book to my DrivethruRPG account.
Books or PDFs?
PDFs
Oh well. Too bad they aren't reprinting some of those great books.

You can get the 5.1 core book printed on demand, but for any of the auxiliary titles you'd have to go to Greg Stafford's website, anyway. I'm not even sure if there was a print release for most of those.

Shiny...
The new book, the Book of the Warlord (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/140092/Book-of-the-Warlord), looks really awesome, but $32 for a .pdf is obscene. The document looks to be useful for not only Pendragon but other roleplaying games. I might break down and buy the text eventually, but damn, that price is high.
I have a hard time justifying $32 for a book, let alone a PDF. Wow. At least Stafford's consistently good. Still wouldn't pay that much for a PDF, though. I hope that price is working for him. Love Pendragon.

It's a copper seller, so that's what, 100 copies?

I share your reservation, but Greg Stafford is hardly laughing himself to the bank at that price.
Try finding any new and quality roleplaying game in print format for under $35.
For me it comes down to the fact that I really like the product, and if I want to support it there's really only one way - the wallet.

$32 for a PDF does seem a bit out of touch, even for a great game like Pendragon.
Quote from: RPGPundit;806173$32 for a PDF does seem a bit out of touch, even for a great game like Pendragon.
For a *whack* of pdfs. That puts them at less than $5 each.
(And I got mine when it was $26.)
I think less than $5 is a more than reasonable sum to pay.

Heck, I'd love to find a new, quality RPG. Period. (Not counting D&D rewrites as new.)

Too true, which is what makes games like Pendragon, which are so good - at least in my view - all the more valuable.

Pendragon is one of the all-time greats. I foolishly gave away my 2nd Ed. (and a metric ton of other games that sell for $$$$ now) years ago when I thought I was done with RPGs. I have 4th now and love it to pieces. Eem made my own GM screen for it.
It's also good for non-Arthurian games. I strip out the magic and play Ivanhoe-type stuff from time to time. Works like a charm for anything knightly.

I really want to adapt Pendragon for a Scottish Jacobite rebellion era (1745-ish) game. I'm just worried I don't know enough about the era for Pendragon's standards.

$32 is not referencing the bundle, but the new single Pendragon pdf, Book of the Warlord.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were referring to.
"Book of the Warlord" is the new one that isn't out yet, I think.
I was referring to the Bundle of Holding, as referenced in the thread title.
