[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 666636, member: 704"] [b]Another happy customer here[/b] I bought the archive mostly for ease of use. I have not used it too much though, but it is certantly a resource worth having on hand. The only complain I have is that I hate having to read PDF documents on PC. When the text is arranged in collumns and you have to zoom in to be able to read it, its just jarring to have to scroll down, then back up, then down again when reading an article. As previously noted, while most statistics are going to be absurdly dated, there is still a great deal of simple sound strategic advice. Example: I can recall an article about using Giants in combat, and it described them as 'eggs weilding large hammers'. Or to put more plainly, they have excellent damage potential, but not much endurance when up against a party of adventurers. This is still largely true when you consider that in a CR approprate encounter, the Giants AC is not nearly as impressive as its attack and damage output. If you want to use articles, or elements of articles, I reccomend using the search feature to find what you want, then printing the relevant pages. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
