I buy PDF's all the time, and see no reason to stop now. If I decide I want a hardcopy, that's what PrintFu is for.

Hanging out and socializing with my friends is a big part of the appeal for me. I have zero interest in playing online in any form.

All the time, although I rationalize by telling myself, "Hmm... I might want to use this for reference sometime!" About 20 or 30 GURPS sourcebooks alone made their way into my collection like that.

If it's an option, I try to buy direct from the publisher. Otherwise, RPGNow exclusively. Phil Reed mentioned over on RPGNet the other day that he'd had trouble - i.e., not getting any money for his sales - from DBB, so I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

You are, and you're right, it probably should have been reworded. Where it says, "Your hero's total Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save modifiers", it means, "Your total Fortitude, your total Reflex, and your total Will save modifiers", not "The total of all three". One that a lot of folks miss...

It runs all right on my laptop, but nowhere near as fast as... well, just about any other drawing/mapping program I have.

Three players is the sweet spot for me.

With the last couple of patches, Dundjinni's speed has been much improved, but is still not great.

I've got a collection of maps and a note indicating what program(s) I used for them here.

I've got a small stack of PDF's I've had printed out at PrintFu.org (I'm usually content with just the plain ol' PDF, but some of 'em are just so darn pretty I want a hardcopy!) and they're dandy. Cheap, quick turnaround and delivery, good quality all around.

Acrobat Reader performs this function just as jinx outlined, i.e., go to File > Document Properties > Fonts.

This one sentence pretty well sums up my real beef with the Forge. I think discussing RPG theory is nifty, but I do think some folks have a tendency to try and put a dress on the pig and call it a prom date.

The folks who just really want the setting and aren't planning on using the rules will say, "Setting first!" The folks who don't care about the setting, but just want to use the rules material, will say, "Rules first!" With those two groups, you're going to be screwed one way or the other...

I'm smart enough to figure out HOW to construct a lot of things, but I rarely have the time or inclination to actually do it when I can pay a few bucks and let someone else do it for me. Of course, I GM with a laptop which cost a hell of a lot more than $25.

You might also try a customizeable screen like this one: http://www.peginc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=1CGS&Category_Code=C04 They're very durable, and you can swap out the inserts for whatever game you're running.

I've run a couple of games where the date and the passage of time in general was important, and in those cases I tracked it. Otherwise, I don't worry about it.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and read it yet, but here's the link: http://members.shaw.ca/LeviK/Perfect20_2005.pdf

Well, there's always the (pimpity-pimp-pimp) Core Elements Toolbox... :D

A stat block is a map. A map is not the territory. Which is to say, it takes more than a stat block - large or small - to create a memorable character or challenge. But there's nothing wrong with group A wanting a interactive GPS map and group B being satisfied with a couple of "turn left at...

I have no idea, but it's nowhere near as funny if you leave the "ass-less" out of the description.
