How many D&D/d20/OGL PDF's have you bought?

[Kanegrundar]

Just a hair over 100. I tend to buy more pdf's than print books these days due to cost effectiveness and overall utility. I only buy non-DRM, since DRM is the DEVIL, THE DEVIL I SAY!!!!

I chose 15, but honestly I'm not sure. Free PDFs and paid-for PDFs all go into my big "bucket o' PDFs" on my hard drive.

It's at least 15, many of them the short variety.

I picked up Blue Rose on PDF, just for the awesome mechanics. Later, these were released separately as True 20 and I picked that up too. Can’t wait for the hard copy, as it has become our primary gaming system for just about any campaign or setting.

Lately I’ve been thinking about picking up the D&D Rules Cyclopedia on PDF out of sheer nostalgia. We might even use it to run an over-the-top parody game, in honor of “the good ol’ days.” (And it's about the price of a combo meal at a fast food resturant.)

I think about 110- I have all the zip files in one folder and that includes non-d20 stuff (add another 30 or 40). All in all, I think I have bought about $1100 of pdfs.

A quick tally (discounting any complimentary or free products) shows over 100.

I find that only a subset of what I buy actually gets used, so many of my products are purchased to determine if I will even use it is play; if I do, I will buy or print a hardcopy.

OTOH, when I find a print book I use a lot, I often turn around and pick up the PDF so I can take advantage of electronic format for portability and preparation of game notes.

I've become more and more of a pdf purchaser over the years. As others have mentioned, only a small subset of most products that I purchase ever gets used, so pdf is actually a pretty handy way of not cluttering up my bookshelf. Plus, since I can access my home computer from work, they're a lot easier to reference during the day than any of the print books that I have.

Now, since I produce pdfs, my interest in them has increased even more. I'd say that 90% of my RPG purchases are now in pdf form. Big rulebooks that I reference during play I still prefer in print form, but pretty much everything else I buy is electronic.

Zero! I like my collections to be something I can hold.

Zero! I like my collections to be something I can hold.

Me, too, for the most part. But there are some things that .PDF does better. Short little focused things, such as a lot of Ronin Arts stuff, is perfect for .PDF. It's great to be able to find something you can slot right into your adventure, download it for a couple bucks, and go.

I also have a lot (all?) of Skeleton Key Games starship floorplans. Paper copies would suck, but with .PDFs I can print just the tiles I need. I did a monster (around 24 sq ft) spaceship for an adventure that would have been impossible without .PDFs.

Well over 100. I actually spend more on PDFs than print now. I'm starting to prefer them, actually. Haven't quite given up on print books entirely, but I could see myself eventually getting there.

 

[Mean Eyed Cat]

Wow, never really thought about this, but I guess I'm a pdf junkie. Looking at my History at RPGNow, I have bought 136 pdfs since 2002. In addition, I bought a few from DriveThruRPG and a bunch of 2nd ed. FR pdfs through another online company (can't remember the name - I know they don't sell them anymore).

And I want more !!!
