[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5876230, member: 58416"] Despite my rather poor grammar in my previous post, I think you got the gist of what I was trying to say in regards to pdfs and such. To clarify a little more, I was asking a question as to content which may not be robust enough to warrant the full book treatment. Since I used Low-Tech in my previous post, I'll use that as an example again for sake of consistency. One of the "companion" pdfs which I bought had more detailed material on shields. It added more granularity to shields and how to modify them and things of that nature. Even in a modular system where many things are by their very nature optional, those rules were optional/niche enough to not be given page count in the hardback book. Instead -as mentioned- they were offered in a "companion" pdf which delved further into a topic covered in the the book. I wanted it, so I picked it up -no muss; no fuss; no additional fees to pay to subscribe to a service. I simply picked the product I wanted and purchased it. If something similar were to occur with a D&D Durango product, I suspect such a companion piece would be a DDi article. That was your answer as well. I have not heard anything to indicate WoTC as a company has changed their views on pdfs. While I know the design team claims to only be 10-20% finished, I wonder if somebody somewhere has reconsidered how the DDi model will work when attached to a modular game system. [/QUOTE]
