veterannoob Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 BL put out something new today beyond the Librarium "club" we saw over the weekend. You get a package of digital works for a pretty good discount, it seems. 20 Quid for at least 40 Quid (I like my US dollars) of digital novels, audio, and short stories. Personally, I don't know if there are BL fanboys more enthralled than I (I suppose they are the ones jumping on this:) ) I'm not sure of what, the length, and quality, and topic of what works will come with this so I'm hoping they elaborate more. But, FYI, here is the link and go have a look and judge for yourself.

Felix Antipodes Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I gave the blurb the once over but wasn't convinced about what I was getting for my buck. Is this all new stuff or a combination of new and old? Does it duplicate the stuff already offered by their Librarius deal? They need to give out some proper detail ASAP if they want people to take this up.

veterannoob Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I had not even considered it could be already released stuff and not new. That is crucial as I own an embarrassingly large amount of BL stuff, including the entire audio collection ever, save the 3 AoS novels that cross my price tolerance for $50 in exchange for 7 hours instead if 12-17(but they are getting a bit longer). I would need to know the topic, availability, author and length before committing. Sadly no piles of disposable income after Xmas .

DarKnight Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 These things don't interest me in the least. If the stories are actually good I'll pay regardless of cost. If they are mediocre (which the vast majority of BL seems to be these days) no deal is going to make me want to purchase.

Chaeron Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I really like the thought, but given the volume I already own, as others have suggested, without knowing what I may potentially get - I would be hesitant. New content however... Exciting to see them branch into these different delivery modes - I really like it, and if I liked audio dramas/eBooks more, there would be an even greater incentive for me.

aa.logan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm sorely tempted because I'm a sap. It would be nice if each bundle was personilised so as not to replecate eBooks you already bought from BL but I doubt it will be. With The Beast Arises, the Librarium and now this, BL are expecting a lot of sight unseen purchases. Is anyone else doing this kind of deal?

Chaeron Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It would be nice if each bundle was personilised so as not to replecate eBooks you already bought from BL but I doubt it will be. I think it might be too much of a challenge, but this would have me straight away. Like if I could let them know what I've read, and then just fill in the gaps in my collection... A bit too much to ask though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317593-new-bl-subscription-package/#findComment-4263090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
