I hate pdfs, and I'm happy that WOTC primarily publishes Books

[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 8515699, member: 10738"] [I][B]1. Do you correctly prefer your RPG materials to be in real, book form, or are you one of those .pdf lovers?[/B][/I] If I can't buy it in real book form, I won't run it. I have on occasion used a module that I only had in PDF....but would print it out first. But I do love PDFs....for their utility. Just not their aesthetics. I will note that I adopted ebooks early on and built up an impressive collection of tablet devices; I tend to read at least one book a month on tablet, but fell back to mostly buying in print. That was for regular books. For games the top advantage of PDFs is looking things up and providing players with info they need. [B][I]2. Relatedly, if you're a .pdf lover, how do you like Huey Lewis and the News? I mean, their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. Huey Lewis has been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.[/I][/B] I only listened to Isao Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson and other pioneers around the time Huey Lewis (if that's his real name) allegedly was popular.
