[QUOTE="sckeener, post: 2862645, member: 8801"] Gaming is a social activity, unlike music or movies. You are only as strong as your weakest link. I go to conventions and if I'm sitting at an open gaming table w/my laptop out there is a good chance that one of the special guests will hear that there is someone at the convention with PDFs of his book. (Which is probably ok if the book was released in pdf...) I have enjoyed all the times I've gotten to play with designers at conventions. I'd prefer to have everything on the up and up if they ask questions. For me the issue is proof of purchase. I've sat at a game table with my laptop out and had players rag on me because they didn't believe that my DRM WotC books were legal or 2nd edition books I bought (when it was run from WotC back in 1999[?] and rpgnow) were legal. It was pretty easy for me to convince them everything was ok because I had shelves of gaming books. If I get rid of my gaming books, I want to know I can prove it. It is an issue for me. The question has come up and I was able to solve it because I had the hard copies. I’m not worried about the police. I’m worried about what my peers, my fellow gamers, will think. [/QUOTE]
