Planet Baen: Web Game for free eBooks

Lemurion · 04-21-2012, 09:18 PM

Baen's put out a new web game called Planet Baen at planetbaen.net - which lets you earn credits for free ebooks both by playing and by building alliances with other players.

I started yesterday and already earned one eBook.

If anyone's interested, my name on there is Stark.

Sounds cool. Unfortunately, with dial-up it ain't gonna happen.

I'll bookmark the site for times I have access to broadband.

How does the earning work?
Full catalogue choice?

They send you a coupon code: Only had one so far, but seems to work on at least any regular price ebook.

Thanks, once I've got the cash I'll ally with you.

I've bought every ebook that Baen have ever published, so it would be a little pointless for me

This, although it may be good for future releases. I will have to look into it.

post your name in the game (I'm BOTK)

ally with any of those above.

If you both join each other as allies, you show under My Alliance on the allies page

Freshadow like here (and nearly everywhere else)

From what I can tell, it gets more and more "expensive" the more allies you have - but you seem to get one free book for every ten allies, so....
