Normally, the request from a community mom to run an afternoon adventure for her son, turning 13, and his three friends, would fill me with glee. But I'm going to be slammed right up until the morning I'm running it, so I turn to the community for help. Here's the deal: 4 boys. 2 of them are...

SO, not that I'm advocating piracy, but WoTC has to know that all of these books are widely available, most OCRd, to any geek with the will to find them. That's what they are really competing against. What they should realize is what apple and a few folks in the music industry have realized...
