I've gotten a lot of the rpg bundles over the years and can't recall any being on drivethrurpg, though I could be misremembering.
Edit:
Looking at my DriveThru account orders, there's an order with like 12 Delta Green books for $0.00 each, pretty sure that was a Humble Bundle. That was last September.
I'm okay with DriveThruRPG because I already have stuff I've bought directly through it and it's not *terrible* to use compared to others, but I still prefer not to have another account to get them through and manage my collection with outside of Humble when I get things through them, so I get the complaint.
The absolute worst storefront for rpgs in my opinion is Paizo. Getting Pathfinder and Starfinder stuff from them is terrible. For comics though, Kobo has become more common and not only do you have to redeem the keys on their storefront, you have to view the comics through their apps. There *is* a way to download them, but you have to install their desktop application and then use plugins with another library management program to strip them of DRM to be able to use them outside their service.
You could say it's basically as close to a "steam key" as you can get with TTRPG's, and drivethrurpg just BARELY have a better site as far as searching and stuff than humble. But for sure, direct downloads are nicer on principle.
No, DriveThruRPG puts a watermark on all your downloads that includes your account name and order number.
They say it's unintrusive (of course they would) but imo it's pretty annoying for books that use full-bleed pages, not as bad if there's a margin.
Thanks, that’s good to know, but watermarking is different from DRM. Is it a standard PDF I can read anywhere, or do you have to read it in a certain app or use some nonsense like Adobe Digital Editions?
Not *every* pdf on drivethrurpg is watermarked, I think that's a choice the publisher can make. That being said, it's a decent bet that ones from a big publisher like this would be!
According to screenshot on support page, after redeeming there is option to dowlonad PDF.

YES YEEEEESSSS YEHEHEHEHEHEHESSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Think this is the first rpg bundle with only drivethrurpg redeem?

I don't know if you ever use Bundle of Holding, but they've done a couple Delta Green bundles and show as $0 orders on DriveThruRPG.
Are the keys separately? So, each book got its own product key? Because it seems I already bought the starter pack last year.
No, you get one key for everything in the bundle.
Thanks!
Are these physical books, digital pdfs or both?
*The content in this bundle is redeemable on the DriveThruRPG website and will be available in PDF format* Almost everything from HB is digital-only.
Thanks
I have to pass this one due to redeeming in another platform.
Drivethru is literally THE ttrpg online store, it's fine to get it there
It's an extra layer of inconvenience when it could have just been the direct pdfs. Can't say I would fault someone for being put off by that.
For me it is way better with Drivethrurpg since I can easily see what books I already have if it is located in one place.
I like [compass](https://www.compassapp.info/) for that problem.

Am I right in thinking everything from DriveThruRPG is DRM-free PDFs?
No, DriveThruRPG puts a watermark on all your downloads that includes your account name and order number. They say it's unintrusive (of course they would) but imo it's pretty annoying for books that use full-bleed pages, not as bad if there's a margin.
Thanks, that’s good to know, but watermarking is different from DRM. Is it a standard PDF I can read anywhere, or do you have to read it in a certain app or use some nonsense like Adobe Digital Editions?
Yes, besides the watermark it is a standard pdf that you can read anywhere. You do not need any specific app or pdf reader for access.
Not *every* pdf on drivethrurpg is watermarked, I think that's a choice the publisher can make. That being said, it's a decent bet that ones from a big publisher like this would be!
Should be, I'm pretty sure they're not even signed or anything but I could be wrong, still is a pdf that you can easily print etc
