Best campaign I have ever run by a long shot! Players all got into the story in a huge way. Some additional notes: 1. Not one player read the unredacted manuscript - I sent them the whole PDF. It is a confusing read and the annotations are difficult to decipher. At one point, they showed it to a...

I have used this idea several times as a player and a DM. Player - we're going to a small island area? I bring ten pounds of high quality nails, 20 high quality daggers and 10 high quality spear tips for barter. Take me to your leader! DM - an important mage or alchemist wants an exotic flower...

I use Mac OS, not Win, so I'm hoping to copy the actual PDFs to my computer storage and let the OS index them. Wouldn't Win 10/11 do the same?

OK, you talked me into it! Except the shipping - USPS was just $4.95. Now to dig up my USB CD drive....

I have to say, if you want a modern spy RPG, take a look at Pelgrane Press' Night's Black Agents. It really is fantastic in how it runs the whole modern day "set of skills". I've run it using the Vampire opponents as written, but you can easily drop the vampires and run it strictly as a spy vs...

If you can pull the files out individually, a modern OS will index them, no problem.

Now that I think on it some more, the other thing to consider is that these CDs are not just great big file lists of PDF, apparently there's a Windows app you 'have to' use to access the files. Need to dig around and see if there's a way to extract just PDFs and/or does the app run on modern...

OK, to answer my own question... Dragon Magazine Archive 250 issues of Dragon Magazine on 5 CDs Several listed on eBay for $130 to $200. Might just pick one up!

For those mentioning it, what issues of Dragon does this CD Rom have? Wonder what it would cost me to find a copy?

How did Glen Cook get persuaded to license TBC for another go around? Maybe Shane Ivey and Dennis Detwiller let him read the intro flavor text for Delta Green - the "What is Delta Green" page on their website. (Delta Green » What Is Delta Green?) which has a very dark Black Company kinda vibe.

Could you give a link for Amatsu's Tabletop Wasteland Battle Maps Pack? Edit: Found it on DriveThruRPG Tabletop Wasteland Battle Maps Pack ☢️ Apocalypse bundle - Amatsu | PACKS & BUNDLES BATTLEMAPS | wasteland-encounter-maps | DriveThruRPG.com

WOTC said what they wanted to do. The other people at the table said, "Are you sure?" And WOTC said - maybe not, lemme reconsider.

I own too many books to have room for a 'book nook'! They are cute though.

Just backed a project there two days ago! https://www.backerkit.com/c/westley-coleman/novel-bookwallets-2-0#top It is a followup to a successful Kickstarter campaign from a year or two ago. So they were able to use updates to that campaign to drive attention to the new site.

And if the players all kick in $5, it's a shared cost everybody gets to benefit from. That's how several books with player options got bought at my table.
