Yair said:As expected WotC is apparently sticking with DRM, as do most of the tree-killing publishing industry (such as AEG, Eden Studios, and so on). I was personally disappointed that Eden Studios, Fantasy Flight Games, and it seems Inner Circle Games did not make the switch; they all have products I'll consider purchasing as pdfs. Perhaps given time, and positive feedback from White Wolf itself, they will change their ways.
Nellisir said:Disappointing, I agree. Does DTRPG have message boards? Maybe someone should start a non-editorializing, focussed thread saying "I bought X, X, and X because they were not DRM. I would like to buy Y, Y, and Y." That might be a polite way of giving the publishers some idea of the market for non-DRM products.

Yup, if that's all then it's pretty neat...DTRPG Mike Todd said:As to Cergorach's concern... on the site there's a link in each product explaining what a watermark is like. There's a sample image in that, but I'll post it here too for your convenience.Hope this doesn't break any formatting or anything.
