THOUSANDS of hours of classic RPG gameplay for as little as $7.37!

One of the most prominent reasons people play computer role-playing games, is to escape the reality of our world and immerse oneself in a completely different realm, that will let you lead a different life for hours and hours. But what makes for a believable fantastic land? It's not the graphics, it's not the controls, it's not even perfect acting of non-player characters. It's a large, complex, and living gameworld, filled with enthralling and deep stories that makes it easy for the gamer to jump realities. Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software figured it out years ago, and--with the help of his colleagues of Spiderweb Software--continues to provide us with such worlds since the year 1994. Today, we offer you the chance to complete your collection of [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/gem_promo_spiderweb_software_stacking_240713]Spiderweb Software RPG Epics, with up to 80% off discount, for the next 24 hours. You can also get just one of the three sagas with 70% discount, or two of them with 75% discount. As usually, if you already own one or more items in the promo, you can complete your bundle with the higher discount rate!

Avernum: The Complete Saga tells an epic story of an underground prison colony. Each chapter presents a turning point in Avernum's history placing the player's party of adventurers at the center of events, making them overthrow tyrants, defend the land from vile demons, discover ominous schemes, meet strange creatures, and accumulate the power needed to change the fate itself. The series consists of two lengthy trilogies, hundreds of hours worth of gameplay each, and an additional title, The Blades of Avernum, that gives you six shorter additional scenarios and a tool to design your own adventures, prolonging your experience indefinitely.

Avadon: The Black Fortress is one of the biggest cRPG games out there. It tells the story of an agent of the fabled Black Fortress, a keeper of your land and protector of its people. Some may call you a hero, other may see a villain in you, but what's important is to keep your homeland safe from all who might threaten its peace. Its impressive complexity and a rich world filled with adventure that it presents you, puts it on par with the greatest cRPG titles of the good old days. When it comes to gameplay, its classic turn-based system proves to be perfect, and all role-playing fans will feel right at home with it. This is classic PC gaming!

Geneforge 1-5 takes everything you love about classic isometric RPGs and adds a truly original setting and gameplay mechanics. You're playing either the role of a powerful Shaper, commanding an army of his creations, or a Rebel who fights a seemingly lost cause of freeing the world from the flesh-twisting magic. Either way, you'll be exploring a complex and vast gameworld filled with masterfully crafted quests offered by innumerable NPCs. Five lengthy and immensely satisfying games in this collection!

Thousands of hours of classic PC RPG gameplay that Avernum: The Complete Saga, Avadon: The Black Fortress, and Geneforge 1-5 offer is probably the ultimate value an old-school role-playing fan can get for their money! The Spiderweb Software RPG Epics promo lasts until Thursday, July 25, at 9:59AM GMT.
Another game series I have not played, maybe I try Avadon: The Black Fortress.
Fuck it, it's only money.
Awesome promo! I hope to see Avernum: Escape from the Pit and Nethergate: Resurrection on GOG soon.
Excellent promo and I'm glad to see these go on sale.

Unfortunately (for GOG), I bought these in the Weekly Bundle (for 5$) so won't be getting them again. Add Linux support, eh?

Just played Black Fortress and Avernum 6 a little bit so far, to test them out, but it looked interesting. Not flashy graphics, but an excellent RPG underneath. Look forward to playing them when I get through some other games.
Meh...

triock: For those who missed Humble weekly. :p
Or the GOG summer sale bundle (that included the eschalon games) before that.

Edit: It appears I was beaten to the punch. It would be great if GOG had the hint books as well. I have the games from the above mentioned GOG summer bundle, but ended up grabbing the HWS just for the hint books.

Dear GOG,
Can you please have a word with Mr Vogel and ask him to release the freeware Exile series on GOG, but adding 64-bit support?
Very nice promo, thank you GOG!

This. A million times, this - Exile remains - by a vast, vast degree - my favorite in the series!

If GOG.com could get it working for modern systems, I would gladly pay whatever you charged for it.

As they say, shut up and take my money!
I'm sorry.. Got them from humble Bundle a week or two previous to this offer. :(
Looks okay enough, but I`ll pass this time. Maybe waiting to Christmas morning...
Everyone who doesn't have the Geneforge games - buy them now ! Can't speak for the other ones as I don't have them, but Geneforge is really awesome, hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay in those 5 little games.
Of these, I've played the first Geneforge game, and wasn't super impressed by its mediocre dialog*, annoying encumbrance system, and open-world, non-scaling game play that caused me to practically never be at an appropriate level for the threats I was facing. After I beat it, I tried to start the second one, created my character, played ten minutes, and then it was "Oh god, I can't take any more of this" and now I'm playing Morrowind for my huge CRPG needs.

I have heard that the later games are better, though.

* In the sense that it's frequently very hard for me to imagine anyone actually saying it.

I am so glad to see SpiderwebSoftware games really getting attention (GOG sale, Humble Bundle, nother GOG sale!). Avernum and Geneforge are both amazing series full of games you can either play individually or back to back. It just makes me happy to see them actually being talked about. Avadon is also neat and looks to lay solid foundations for a new series. I do believe the only SS game I really disliked was Avernum 4.

This would be great. I would like to play Exile 3 again. From comments I read somewhere I got the impression that Avernum 3 was a mainstreamed remake: less party members, less skills, spells, easier combat...

Would be great to have them as extras for Avernum.
