Spiderweb Fifteen-Year Anniversary Sale

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 1, 2010

You know what I don’t do enough of? Reposting press releases. Probably because I receive so few of them. But here’s one that’s got ME excited, and by excited I mean, “Searching for loose change under the couch.” Spiderweb Software, the original “indie RPG” studio, is making this a very special October sale. ‘Cuz they are, like, fifteen, which is a number evenly divisible by five, and this officially makes them older than 99% of all game studios out there, and 99.9% older than all game studios NOT owned by a major publisher.  And they also have finally completed two major game series, which means the entire collection is on sale. So – here’s the deal:

October 1, 2010 – It was fifteen years ago that fledgling Indie game developer Spiderweb Software released its first game out into the wild. This was, by game industry standards, a long time ago. Back then, small developers sold something called “shareware.” The World Wide Web barely existed. People took photographs on “film.” Cell phones were the size of loaves of bread. Also, dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

Yes, the past millennium was a dark and confusing time. And yet, we prevailed, making many fine Retro fantasy role-playing games for Windows and Macintosh. Now we invite all to celebrate our continued survival by offering hefty discounts on the fruits of our labors. For the whole month of October, all collections of our games are 25% off, and everything else we sell is 10% off. CDs containing three or five deep, full-length RPGs, already sold at a discount, are now even cheaper!

Whether you need a big pile of distractions from the recession and the cold and dark of winter, or you need a nice CD to give as a gift to a gamer friend, or you just like collecting shiny discs, we are eager to help.

Not convinced? Try out one of our huge, free demos:

And here’s hoping for another fifteen years. With any luck, our 30th birthday e-mail will be sent out from inside our Pleasure Pod and will celebrate flying cars and the Cure For Death.

Spiderweb Software, Inc., an independent game-design company based in Seattle, WA, is fanatically dedicated to creating fun, exciting fantasy role-playing games for Windows and Macintosh. Past titles include the award-winning Geneforge and Avernum series. More information on the company is available at http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/.

The CDs option may be especially interesting to folks looking for possible Christmas gifts. I mean, what better gift than to start a friend on a lifetime of addiction to appreciation of indie role-playing games?
