I've got mine! heh I'll try to review it over the next week, but at fist glance it looks top notch as always.

WotC isn't going to embrace PDFs anytime soon. Any solution that requires internet access at the game table is going to fail and I suspect WotC would go that route if your idea in any way resembles their plans. Heck, they cant even get their VTT on the same field as others out there (Fantasy...

I've been running a Free Holiday Swag post almost daily for the last 3 weeks at my blog. Assorted random FREE rpg stuff in PDF. You can either hit the banner below to hit the blog or here for a link that will take you right to the tag. Today's link was for Barbarians of Lemuria

Lamentations of the Flame Princess is running a sale on it's PDF catalogue at RPGNow until Dec 10th - everything in the catalogue is $1.35 each. Highlights in my opinion are Vornheim, LotFP's Weird Fantasy Grindhouse Edition and The Grinding Gear. The other stuff is good too, but these are my...

I have the PDF. It's an expensive PDF, but worth every penny in my opinion, but I ama history buff in addition to being a gamer. I got into the hobby back in 80/81, so I've found myself trying to figure out what I was doing when certain events were going on. I'm taking my time reading it, as...

good luck! dropped a wee bit, but will hopefully be able to add some more after "Black Friday" - if I have anything left ;)

The Pathfinder Beginner Box is tempting me away from Swords & Wizardry - and that's a big thing to move me from. It is extremely well done and makes the Pathfinder Rules less complex and much easier to understand. I have the 4e Red Box, and to my eyes, it fails compared to the Pathfinder...

Got mine :)

My group just switched (earlier tonight) to a heavily houseruled OD&D game from Tunnels & Trolls - yes, it's an Old School Group, can you tell? I find that the simpler the rules, the less time using the rules and the more time spent playing. You mileage may vary tho ;)

Runequest is going the way of D&D it seems. Between RQ6, OpenQuest and whatever Mongoose is calling their next version there should should be a RQ ruleset available as a "living system" for a good long time. I still have my RQ2 hardcover ;)

I picked up the new Deluxe rules in PDF and I find them better organized then the previous edition. I also have a hard time "grokking it" coming from my AD&D roots, but I got to sit in on a session and it helped a lot come together. I still need to fully grasp the use of "powers". That hasn't...

iPad 1 with Goodreader, except in bed. In bed I use a Samsung Galaxy 7", as it's easier to hold while lying on my back with my head propped by a pillow. I probably buy 80% of my RPGs in PDF only these days. Man does it save on space ;)

Ordered the S&W version. I need to finish renovating the front two rooms at put in a nice set of STRONG shelving to hold this ;)

Something else to link to on my blog. More OSR goodness is always good :) edit: Even better, it emulates AD&D 2e - I don't recall another cloning that edition

Life long New Yorker, and I know squat about touristy stuff ;) That being said, I have a friend that acts like a life long tourist. I'll see if he has hotel ideas.

Pretty cool write up. I may need to dig out my copy of Mythic RPG and give it another look.

I guess "Going Commando" in gym class doesn't count? heh

nedjer - you specifically sent me to a windows install. As a former follower of the Church of St. Jobs, and now a convert to the Order of the Holy Apple, I took offense ;) Seriously - yes, I can convert it to a PDF and read it in GoodReader (excellent app - I can mark up my PDFs with it) but...

Swords & Wizardry White Box - A well written ruleset that won't overpower new or casual players. Marketing might be an issue tho. Dragon Age - The RPG from Green Ronin claimed to be aimed at the casual player, but the initial box cuts you off at level 5.

Not gonna work with my iPad, iPhone or MacMini. My PC just boots up for gaming these days, and that's fairly rare. For all of the faults of PDFs, they are system agnostic. HTML is too, but the install program for offline work in this case is not. Thus the disconnect. Your solution (at the...
