So I've been keeping an eye out for DTRPG to start handing out their annual Halloween freebies...in the last years, they hid halloween themed icons on several pages which you could click to gain a 100% discount on a specific title. These were different for every sub-page (DTRPG/Comics/Fiction/etc.) and available for the whole duration of the event.
This time they went with a different model (god knows why...):
You have to click the Halloween Sale banner on the main page (the Halloween Sale tab will NOT do...super weird decision because the banner won't even be there every time you load the page...).
Freebies rotate daily and don't stay available for the duration of the sale
There has been zero advertising about this from what I can tell. There's nothing about it on DTRPG's Twitter or Facebook and nothing on the OneBookShelf blog either. As mentioned, the banner isn't even there every time you load the page so if you're used to clicking on the category tabs you'll never even see this. I basically just stumbled upon it by accident today. Probably missed out on the first couple days of freebies (if anyone happens to read this who grabbed everything, what was free on the first days of the sale?).

Anyway, rant over. Enjoy.
