You know, if you cats are just dying to give many to people that need it, we live in America and there are kids dying from cancer and other horrible stuff every day right here. Sure, Haiti is getting some terrible luck and I hope they come out of it OK. But somewhere, a kid is dying. Tell her you'd rather give to a foreign country.

Understandable, and just to let you know, I do charitable work every single day of my life training emotional support/therapy dogs for US Veterans in need, and all the dogs, training, transporting, everything is done by a whole bunch of people across the country completely and totally for free. The veterans pay nothing, and normally they would have to pay as much as $20,000.00 for these dogs.

There isn't just one group of people in need of help and charity.

Just today our focus is on Haiti. There are men, woman and children dying and in risk of dying right now in Haiti, tell them they aren't worth saving.

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Yeah, I know that you did Tree. I know you started this thread to help people. You're a good dude, as are everyone that is donating to Haiti. I was just venting.

If your kids are hungry, you don't give them money to go buy food for the next door neighbor. That's all I was saying. No offense intended.

None taken, I was just hoping to give some perspective.

Heck, today I gave money to someone claiming to be in need and having children to feed, she may have been lying, but I did it anyways, at least she didn't look like a druggy or alcoholic. Hopefully she was telling the truth. Besides, I didn't give her cash, I gave her about $20 worth of Ramen, so if she wasn't lying they will have some kind of food for a few days.

That sounds like an awesome solution! If I understand it correctly that means the whole bundle is now in my DL library and I can just go to my account and get it whenever I am ready for them.

I hope they can do customized DL's, because I already have a couple dozen of the PDF's in my account. So not doing "repeats" may save them some time and trouble.

You're correct, Tree. Log in, view your orders, then open the order containing the Haiti bundle. At the bottom is the long, long list of download links.

Only gotcha is that you can only download one file at a time, which is actually the norm - but it's just such a big list!

Just finished downloading everything to a flash drive. I haven't expanded any of the ZIP archives yet, but the total comes to 210 files, 2.59 gigabytes of RPG goodness.

Thanks for that! And while I'm not into supers, my son and his friends are, so I'll be passing this over to him, so it will likely see use at a school cafeteria lunch table Real Soon.

They added that time-saving step about 30 minutes after I had finished adding everything to my cart manually. Now there's at least 2 of every title on my downloads page. This will take a while...
