[QUOTE="charlesatan, post: 4418030, member: 20870"] Below is a chart of instances on when I think a PDF would be preferable (left side) and when a print product is advantageous (right side). Of course it bears noting that not everything is rated equally and some people will prioritize one item over another. Not included is the quality of the content since this will vary from one person to another and may change over time--but it is a factor when making a decision whether to purchase the magazine (print or otherwise). Feel free to add or dispute the items listed below. 1. You don't llke ads vs. You like ads 2. Lack of quick/cheap access to the print magazines (i.e. a foreign country) vs. Having quick/cheap access to the print magazines (i.e. U.S.) 3. Selectively using the material in a game (i.e. printing out only the portions you need) vs. Using all the materials in a game 4. Uses a laptop during a game vs. Using pen-and-paper tools during a game 5. Doing pre-game work on a computer vs. Using a notebook and pen to do pre-game work. 6. Don't have access to a vehicle for a game* (carrying a heavier load to the game) vs. Having access to a vehicle/hosting the game in your home 7.
