Looks like a bunch of the Magpie Games stuff is on sale on Drive Thru. This includes PbtA games such as Masks, Velvet Glove (notebook edition), some Dungeon World adventure-worlds, Epyllion (baby dragons!), and others such as Our Last Best Hope. www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4353/Magpie-GamesI've played Masks (wrote about that here) and Velvet Glove (wrote about that here), and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Urban Shadows and it's follow up supplement Dark Streets are also on sale. Both are well worth your time if you're a seasoned hippie or an anti pbta hater like @tim.
Urban Shadows is an amazing game. I've run one shots, short arcs, and a campaign in the system and it's really delightful. It's super valuable even to those who just want to read a game text and not necessarily run it. The way faction based intrigue is broken into easy to use parts is fantastic, and I've implemented the debt mechanic in games like Pathfinder to further faction based intrigue in social games. Some of my favorite PBTA moves are in this game.
Dark Streets is a mixed bag. The new playbook are fantastic, but the real gems are the essays on converting the game to fit new settings, both historical and geographical. They have LA, London, NYC and more cities stated up with their custom GM moves, but more importantly they talk about what went into designing the cities and how to apply that to your own cities. And the playbooks are real fun.
Definitely worth checking out
