Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
If you’re at Gen Con, you can swing by Wizards of the Coast‘s booth and pick up an early release copy of Adventurer’s Vault 2 for Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition. In a very clever move that shows a keen understanding of the convention shopper mentality, when you buy a copy, they’ll toss in a Player’s Handbook for only $5 – a good deal indeed! I continue to be impressed with how Wizards is leveraging their social media presence for their gaming brands (this deal was announced on Facebook) – this is a great way to leverage the medium and keeps me coming back to see what they’re up to next.
Updated: Scott in the comments proves that I seem to have difficulty reading…corrected with the actual awesome deal.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This is incorrect. The deal is:
When you buy any Dungeons & Dragons RPG book you can purchase a Player’s Handbook for only $5.
The Adventurer’s Vault 2 is full price, and you are limited to one copy. However, if you buy a copy of Adventurer’s Vault 2, you can then score a Player’s Handbook for $5.
I’m clearly in need of more sleep – updated with the correct deal and attribution! Great catch!
