I finally talked myself into getting this bundle at $275 ($274 since I already have the PDF, lol) but when I got to checkout shipping and sales tax took the price tag up to nearly $350. Ouch.

I'd like to have Arden Vul for my collection, but that was a bit more than I was expecting to pay. I'll have to think on it.

Those who have ordered the Complete PDF can receive 33% discounts on the print versions at a later date so they can piece-meal their purchase as finances allow. Just send me an e-mail (josephbrowning@gmail.com) with your Complete PDF order number and I'll get the discount codes to you.

I've not been happy with print-on-demand hardcovers. They aren't made to last. No offense intended, but DriveThruRPG is no exception. Why aren't soft cover alternatives available?

Arden Vul is made for OSRIC (AD&D). Since AD&D, OD&D, B/X, and BECMI are all broadly compatible, it will convert well to B/X like games like OSE, especially if you have OSE Advanced (which brings a lot of AD&D classes, monsters, etc to AD&D). Indeed, a popular actual play podcast (3D6 Down the Line) uses OSE to run Arden Vul. You might want to get a (free) copy of OSRIC to fill in any gaps such as AD&D only spells but 99% of the time you won't need it.

I've never run DCC, but if you've ever used DCC to run a non-DCC OSR module it should be pretty similar to how that was.

Hey Joseph,

Just a note to let you know that DriveThru is having a bit of a 'moment' right now. Putting the full bundle into my cart is currently raising the price to $23,367... I double checked to make sure that the quantity was set to one but sure enough the price is for a hundred I guess... I've had other problems with DriveThru recently. It likes to take away print options for books that should have them and every once in a while, I go to add something to my cart only to find a completely different item when I go to check out. Weird times...

DriveThru is currently going through some print product line changes at the printer level, so its possible that some errors will occur in the process. I can only recommend patience and contacting them to inform them of problems. They've a good track record of sorting things out.

I see the first four printed volumes listed are B&W and the fifth is listed in color. Is this in reference to the internal contents only or the covers as well?

The final volume has B&W interiors as do the others. It is listed as "color" because it required using the color printers instead of the B&W printers due to saturation issues.

I received an e-mail today about a Deal of the Day on the Halls of Arden Vul Complete PDF, but something mentioned in there got me thinking that the pricing on the Arden Vul bundle doesn't make much sense. I might have overlooked something.

The e-mail I received about the Deal of the Day mentioned that you get a 33% discount on buying the hardcopies when you have the PDF. If I understood that correctly, that isn't just a Deal of the Day thing, but a general thing for Arden Vul.

So if I buy the complete PDF for $109, and then later buy each of the five hardcopy volumes for $55/3, that results in a price of about $200. So why is the bundle priced at $275?

Joseph B July 10, 2021 6:50 am UTC

Because that's the standard price of the bundle. The Deal of the Day sale on The Halls of Arden Vul Complete PDF provides a goodly discount for those who wish to also purchase the print products after purchasing the PDF.
Reply
Customer avatar
Emil H July 10, 2021 8:20 am UTC
So, just to be sure, the 33% discount on the hardcopies is only something you get when buying the Deal of the Day. It is not something you get if buying the PDF at some other time. Is that correct?

It's just that, the way it is written in the e-mail makes it sound like it is a general thing: "And don't forget, if you purchase the PDF, you can receive 33% discounts on the print versions at a later date so you can piece-meal your purchase as finances allow."

Emil H July 10, 2021 8:41 am UTC
I've just checked the page for the Complete PDF product, and I can see there that the 33% is a general thing, not just exclusive to the Deal of the Day offer.

So I still don't see how the bundle makes sense (if my math is correct, that is). I may have gotten something wrong.

Price of bundle: $275

Approximate price of buying PDF and then each POD book with 33% discount:
- $109 for PDF
- (55/3)*5 for the PODs = $91
- Price: $200

There might be something wrong with my math, or I might have overlooked something.

(55/3) is a 66% discount. The discount is 33%.

Approximate price of buying PDF and then each POD book with 33% discount:
- $109 for PDF
- (55 x 0.67)*5 for the PODs = $184.5
- Price: $294.5

(Normally the bundle is a little cheaper in total, but it's a lot more up front)

Per a comment below: "Attention all customers! The printers have requested a different file for Volume 5, so I have increased the price of this bundle to ridiculous levels so no one will purchase it, but customers can still read the comments.

The prices will return to normal as soon as Volume 5 is ready to print again."

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
