Also FFG is not allowed to release Star Wars products they charge for in PDF. They do release Warhammer 40K in PDF so this is not a FFG decision but a license requirement.

I much prefer the PDF as I have no intention of reading on a screen smaller than 13”. RPG books need to be laid out for print as physical books. If they had to go and create a second layout just for electronic distribution, it would increase time and cost. With the number of PDFs out there means...

Morrus The DMG is supposed to release on the 18th not the 19th as you have. Here is the source. http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/dungeon-masters-guide

WotC has a right to sell their product any way they want. You have the right to choose to buy it or not. If they do not sell it in a way you want, don’t buy it. Play another game. Don’t pull down pirated versions of the game as you will just create artificial demand for the game. There are...

Probably won’t be much for announcements today, as GenCon is wrapping up. Maybe they have very huge plans they think they might not make, so they are taking the opposite extreme from what they did on the 4E launch and telling us nothing.

I run sandbox style games and do not run premade adventures. I do buy the adventures to see what ideas they have implemented in them. For example encounter layout, methods of providing plot hooks, etc. To me, the premade adventures are just idea sources or reference material.

This week was the final for the DMG. I believe it is off to the printers now. Mike Mearls had tweeted that was the reason the D&D Basic might slip to next week.

In Dark Sun there are no gods. The RAW has the clerics bow before elements, but I will run with no clerics.

I don't know if this is a sign of anything, but they have only been releasing four classic books a week lately.

Your post implies limiting buying what you want. I bought a number of PDFs in the "Christmas in July" sale and plan on buying what they put up tomorrow. I can stop honest, I just don't want to. XD

And when there is no traffic, "doing huge doughnuts." Sideways is the only way to go around. XD

Their legal team has already signed off on a plan. They had to establish licensing with all the third party companies a while ago. They might be looking at a different distribution method and PDFs might be a fall back plan. We have no way of knowing. We don’t know why they don’t want to say...

Well as far as an overall release, the early release is just under two weeks out. The official release is just over three weeks out. I would not expect digital to be with the early release. We don't know if it will be way later for the main content as in the core books. I am disappointed the...

The main advantage to the open standard PDF is that you are almost guaranteed to have access to a PDF Reader for a long time to come. As I probably only have about 20 years left, they will most likely be usable for the remainder of my life. The other formats are not so sure. As the publishers...

I did some checking. I did not verify the files as I don't like clicking around on untrusted sites. They were talking about the Starter Set. All the stuff they put on the site looked correct except they had it as a 64 page adventure and a 32 page rule book. I believe those are swapped. I did not...

Well, it sounds like people are sharing the Starter Set PDFs already and they have not even released the PDFs yet. So much for that plan. O.o All this does is anger the people who want to purchase the PDFs as they are being treated like second class citizens.

He just said no to the bundle. He also said they are not saying anything about if we will be able to buy PDFs.

Somebody just asked for clarification on Twitter. We will have to see if he responds on that link I put in my prior post.

Well, it is official now. Greg posted this on Twitter. @pWallyC: will there be a PDF version that comes with the hardcovers of the rule books and Tyranny of Dragons modules? GregBilsland: Afraid not. https://twitter.com/gregbilsland/status/493086165978066944

Yeah, I think I will pull back from 5E until the 19th. I will check back then to see if WotC has an announcement to make.
