Halloween '18: Tricks and Treats OneBookShelf-Style

Let's see. It's mid-October? Check. Check OneBookShelf sites DriveThru RPG, DriveThru Comics, and DriveThru Fiction to see whether they've commenced both the Halloween sale and the Halloween Icon Trick or Treat offerings? Heck, yes! Check. Way back in what seems like ages pass, the Drive Thru sites began a Jack O' Lantern search where you'd embark on scavenger hunt throughout an individual site for jack o' lantern icon. If you clicked on the link, you be rewarded with a treat (ex. a free e-book) or a trick (a gag). In recent years they've expanded the icon type beyond jack o'lantern to other Halloween icons. Think of it is a trick or treating OneBookShelf style!


I've participated on and off for YEARS. One major reason why I've accumulated quite the collection of e-books at OBS is due to the Trick or Treat event. This year, I am going to blog about each find per icon per site. Breaking from tradition of years past, I provided a link to the three sites in question in case any reader seeks a treat or trick. You'll have to create an account if you haven't done so already. Note: The event should last a week or two. Don't recall if they cancel it on Halloween or week before. It just started so it should last several days. I'm betting it'll last as long as Halloween sale does but don't quote me...




For those who prefer surprise thereby SPOILERS below.

Witch Hat: Fear Can't Hurt You. A Halloween scenario.

Drive Thru Fiction:


Witch Hat: Monsters of Horror - Community Content = 6 movie monsters adapted to D&D 5E

Ghost: The Black Spot - a storytelling RPG (Side note: I've apparently acquired a copy previously. Guessing a previous Trick or Treat?! Probably should read it sometime then...)


Interesting observation: If you're logged into the other sites at the same time, those finds appear at full price in the carts of the other sites. May want to search through the other sites one at a time or be prepared to remove stuff from the shopping cart. Perhaps that's trick! If you have multiple storefronts open at once, you must remove stuff from the carts or get charged!


There may be more than three tricks or treats per Drive Thru site; they're scattered about in places I am not used to. A true scavenger hunt indeed if that is the case. However, three treats (I'm assuming such...) per Drive Thru is enough for me. I am content.


Halloween is twelve days away!
