Nonetheless, GM's doing world building, creating a setting, adds value through authenticity.

PDF's are a chore, more work than the regular book layout. I once had publisher collapse and lose hundreds of bookmarks.

Indeed, there have been efforts to fight back against it in the fb game and truck groups I belong to there. It is annoying to see it pop up here though.

True, though just to note, while the mechanics are similar, Solis People of the Sun is a modern sci-fi, solarpunk-ish, near future setting.

We're right here.

Are people posting with AI now? I'm not reading all of that.

Re: Prep, sounds like just a full setting. That is fine though personally I like world building all that. I made my setting very modular so you can play with the setting, or as someone said the other day, they just use my maps, which is cool too.

Anything that onboards GM's.

One reason I like sci-fi, to posit a better future.

I guess I do like novelty in having accurate starmaps, and a modern science fiction setting in Solis People of the Sun.

I have made plenty and will make more. None really stick out in my mind, mostly it is in the realm of "the little metal creature is 20cm long and weighs 2kg" and then the players question it's density. Or one wanted to build a hatch, and I had everyone go to a scrapyard where there was a fight...

I find I don't really read pdf's anymore, I will still use them for reference though. PDF's, spreadsheets, docx all too much used in work to be fun afterwards.

One of my dogs when I was a kid was bitten on the nose by a rattlesnake, vet was like "I don't know if he is going to live." He did though, had a gnarley scar on his nose.

The worst was someone had taken the carpet, so anytime the door was opened to the building, a draft blew up from the floor. Secondarily, was the ability for it to drizzle at any time, and then the dampness set in.

I do letter hardback in pod, digest would be bit too thick for some and I'd have to break it up. I have thought about soft cover. Someone sent me this:
