Let’s be clear about this – DriveThruRPG’s ‘Pay As You Want’ allows you to pay nothing to download a high-quality RPG or accessory and very often that’s what the author encourages you to do. There’s a suggested price. Geek Native recommends paying what you think is appropriate, not what you want, and if the author is asking for money then see if you can find some.
What’s clear is the range of great superhero RPGs and accessories you can download today without busting the bank is impressive. Check the top ten as they stand for our 2018 Superhero Week.
