All D&D Books To Be Available As PDFs
sckeener writes "DriveThruRPG has just announced that it will be selling all of WotC's 3.5 Edition D&D products in e-book format - over 90 books. Wizards has elected not to make the three core rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons available as eBooks at this time, but almost every other current Dungeons & Dragons title will be available from DriveThruRPG. New titles are scheduled to release one each weekday on DriveThruRPG: Some of the titles to be released first include: Book of Vile Darkness, Heroes of Horror, Arms and Equipment Guide, d20 Apocalypse, Champions of Ruin, Complete Arcane, Unearthed Arcana, Masters of the Wild and Book of Challenges. The books are still full price and are DRM protected." I'd be happier about this if they were even slightly discounted, but it's a good step. Heroes of Horror is worth every penny.
No all I need are some friends to play with :-(
... They won't have Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwells, or Gary Gygax's signatures on them like my old copies!
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
DM - As you enter the dimly lit room, you see a creature lurking in the corner, laughing in the corner. As you approach it, things to dark for a second and then the entire room is illuminated with a bright azure light. You have encountered - A BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!
Fighter - I punch the the screen with my fist.
Rogue - I sneak around back and attempt to unplug it.
Wizard - I cast "Bigby's Typing Hands" to press Ctrl-Alt-Del
Cleric - I cast "curse" on Bill Gates
Sorceress - I summon Tech Support
Remember a little game called Neverwinter Nights?
(Oh, and Baldur's Gate 2 was based off of 2nd Edition rules, not AD&D)
"PDFs are not as handy for a casual read, like when you are in the bathroom."
Yech. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to be flipping through a book that my GM's been reading on the crapper. I know, the book is probably perfectly clean, but given what my current GM looks like, the visual is disturbing.
Besides, now I'm going to be thinking of unique items like Ragnar's +2 Plunger of Clog Slaying, or Charmin's +5 Vorpal Toilet Paper.
