The PDF's out? How cool!

To make finding discussion easier, could we move Quests discussion to the [new] thread for it? Thanks!

Oh I totally get it. Maybe I can find a used copy some day. As someone who is "old school" like me, $25 just seems too much to pay for a pdf. To me, nothing can ever replace the visceral feel of a real book in your hands.

Yeah I was thinking the retailer deal on the kickstarter, which worked out to $18/book, could have netted me a tidy profit in selling them on eBay

The retailer deal was only for verified retailers. It still is. We make almost nothing on the retailer levels.

13garth13 - The Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry versions of the book is up at the store and links are going out to backers ASAP. Here is the link for you. You can pick the version you want from the drop-down menus.

Got my email today, and am downloading as we speak

Cheers,

After browsing through this more, here is what i really enjoy, and this will either entice a lot of people or turn you off, depending on your tastes:

The monster variety through the Traits description is tremendous. Hundreds of new tactics are introduced, and it requires reading sometimes a paragraph or two of descriptive text to understand the ability and how it works. Early editions of D&D were like this too, before all combat abilities were moved to the stat block. This takes more time for the DM and if you're picking up the book and flipping straight to something to use, it could cause a hiccup.

On the plus side, and it's a big plus for me personally, you have more variety here than you could shake a stick at (I never understood that saying). It also makes it very entertaining to read.

Ah I was hoping for something like this. To the pdf store!

I'm sorry for the thread Necro, but I thought this would be the most appropriate place for an update. Frog God Games / Necromancer Games and Fantasy Grounds have signed an agreement to convert their material over for play on Fantasy Grounds. The very first module is the conversion of the Fifth Edition Foes content and it is available now.

Sorry to necro the necro, but will FG eventually have this bigger FGG products (Slumbering Tsar, Rappan Athuk, etc) converted? Bill had said you all have access to their whole library, and I'm sure it is just a matter of time, and given that those would be huge conversions that would take a good amount of time, I know I should be patient but curiosity got the best of me. I look forward to seeing more FGG stuff on FG! Thanks, Doug - really glad Smiteworks and FGG/Necromancer partnered.
