This Week’s Bargain SF & Fantasy Games at Amazon.com
I keep sitting down at my computer to write Black Gate blog posts, and then spending all my time browsing Amazon.com.
I used to think Amazon would never replace brick and mortar bookstores, “because you can’t browse books online, you know.” Shows you what I know. Amazon has turned online browsing into an art. These days I browse in my jammies with my iPad, both feet on the back of the couch.
I need to reclaim some of these lost hours by pretending I’m doing something useful. Get your feet off the couch and mow the lawn!, my wife says. Can’t, working on a blog post, I tell her. And pass me that blanket, my toes are cold.
Which brings us nicely to this week’s list of discount SF and fantasy titles at Amazon.com, compiled through countless hours of diligent research by your faithful scout. Don’t thank me, glad to do it. At least until the damn lawn stops growing.
In the spirit of the excellent recent gaming posts, this week I’ve been shopping for discount game titles. I’ve found more than a few — including the splendid D&D supplements Underdark, Death’s Reach, and Demon Queen’s Enclave from Wizards of the Coast, and the excellent computer RPG Mount & Blade.
As long as we’re talking about computer games, I slipped in some of my recent favorites: the popular RPG Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold, the complete Dawn of War collection, the space empire sim Sword of the Stars Ultimate Collection, the new-generation platform game Trine, space fighting sim X3: Terran Conflict 2.0, and the criminally overlooked action RPG Titan Quest Gold.
All these titles are eligible for free shipping on orders over $25.
- Underdark ($9.77; was $29.95)
- Death’s Reach ($9.98; was $24.95)
- Demon Queen’s Enclave ($9.77; was $24.95)

Many of the discounts we told you about last week are still available; you can see that list here.
I agree regarding the 4e books, those are some excellent parts of the 4e library. Lately though my favorites have been the Neverwinter book, the Feywild book, and the recent Avatar: Last Airbender…I mean Elemental Chaos book.
As for the games…Mount and Blade looks very intriguing. Are you trying to prevent me from getting my Thesis completed on time?
Christian,
I spent countless hours when I was supposed to be working on my thesis playing Starflight and Pool of Radiance. Looking back, I consider those hours best spent. 🙂
The Neverwinter campaign setting looks great. I haven’t purchased it yet, but perhaps I should — my kids just started playing Neverwinter Nights 2 this week.
Which reminds me, I should add that one to the list….
