I've never played any of the games he's made but backed practically all of them in PDF. He's very successful and probably the best shining example of small press/indie publisher there has ever been in our hobby for his work ethic and ability to deliver on time or early every time without fail or have a damn good reason why.

Kevin Crawford/Sine Nomine takes a different approach and gives away a free version of his stuff. On the other hand it's a bit rich coming from him as he basically ripped off Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1st edition for his own game and most likely hasn't given a dime to them.

He worked hard to get his book out there and doesn't want to give it away for free because he has bills to pay. The Zweihander guy has a reasonable argument to make from my mind. I'm happy to support them and spend more money than I should at Drive Thru/Kickstarter seeing as I've barely if ever used any of the stuff I buy. I'm not defending the sharing of stuff you can buy from Drive Thru or the game producers website. Please?įuzzy scans have been around for a long time with wonky pages and text that hurts your eyes to read and quality of scanning has gotten better but nothing competes with made from the digital ground up of stuff of course. Come on RPGs production companies, print your back catalogues on demand. They were getting stupid then POD came out and prices fell sharply. Look what Print on Demand prices did to Rules Cyclopedias. Good luck to him but I'll stick to the set I bought for £20 and maybe hope there's a decent scan out there some day to keep it alive. There's a set on ebay for £63 that's sat there forever, one of four sold by the same buyer. Marvel Saga (damn that needs a better scan) is another. At some point we'll not be around and the game will be gone. As it is it took the fans to scan their stuff with variable quality and put it out there for people to grab that keeps the game alive and even then mostly for us old farts that bought it first time round (85 I think) up to 3rd Edition in 1993 that keep the memory of the game alive. It's my most played, favourite game system.
The trove net pdf#
I'd love to pay for a clean well scanned professional looking PDF of the entire DC Heroes RPG line. It does mean that I don't really buy from ebay much these days and my purchases are either new (rare) or on impulse if it's cheap. With regards ebay sellers, why not inflate the price if someone is willing to pay it and you know when you sell it you will have to search high and low for a replacement and probably pay over the odds too? I don't blame anyone for wanting the best buck they can get but I won't pay for a book beyond a certain price point. It's the games that are unavailable except by ebay/forums with the inflated prices and are in legal limbo or just plain dead for whatever reason that attract me.
When a PDF is cheap and easily accessible and I want to use it, I buy it.
Sure there's DnD and pretty much everything on there from a broad range of games but I've bought the vast majority of what I want from Drivethru. When Sheen disclosed, there was this trove of information.I think the main attraction is to get hold of games that are no longer in print and there are no digital editions of said game. There couldn't be, because people didn't know what to do, remember, people (were) asking, 'Can he play basketball?' 'Can I shake his hand?' There wasn't this trove of information about HIV, HIV prevention and HIV testing. When Magic Johnson made his disclosure, there wasn't a similar reaction.

This deal might just give them enough of a patent trove to move to Western markets, their position in China has been under constant attack from even lower-end Android vendors, so moving overseas is now a necessity. Just as we expected, there are exciting discoveries lurking in our archived Kepler data, waiting for the right tool or technology to unearth them, this finding shows that our data will be a treasure trove available to innovative researchers for years to come. Probably much like Lord Carrington and Howard Carter, on being the first for centuries to enter Tutankhamun's tomb, it really is a treasure trove. In my treasure trove of memories, it was a zinger.
