I'm on vacation right now but will be back in TX on Monday. Your job, by then, is to convince me of which PDFs I should buy on my PDF shopping spree!

I already have all the products from both Creative Mountain and Ambient.

Let the endorsements begin!

Well, how about some visuals?
Lets see <grabs calculator> for $17 you can buy all 3 of the Arcane/Vistas series and that gives you 164 pieces of reproducable artwork and handouts for your gaming world.

Did that work?

Here is my list.

That's easy, grab Philip J Reed's books. I am sure there is at LEAST one, that any GM could use.

Construct Mechanus
Constructus is more specialized, but it could make for one hell of a foil :-)

101 Spell Components has some cool new rules, but again, pretty limited.

101 Mundane Treasures: More treasures. Very cool. Great for a GM.

101 Spellbooks Tomes of Knowlege and Forbidden Grimoirs. Probably my favorite.


In the Saddle, looks REALLY good. I have a friend that has it, and I like it. I plan on getting it soon.

Elements of Magic, also looks good, but it is more of a special use book, though, you could base your entire magic system, if you make a custom world, off it. I plan to use it for some NPCs, to make them quirky, and keep my players off-balance.

Book of Templates is pretty cool... I think you need to tweak some templates a TOUCH, or the CR... but they are very good.

If you have bards, Enchiridion of Mystic Music is very good. If you have a soft spot for martial artists... I would highly recoommend Beyond Monks.

If you like Psionics, get the recent stuff from Malhavoc, or Psionics Companion.

One that my friend really suggests, for the Paladin types out there, is Forgotten Heros: Paladins. He loves that book.

Swords of our Fathers looks really cool, though, it is pretty specialized. And, requires a bit more GM work, IMO, than the other pdfs above.

You also kind of have to mention all the Malhavoc products. The stuff is all above average, but you pay a premium for them, and then they come out a few months later, in print form. I personally think you are better off going with some of the above books.
 

Have you ever tried a 01 Games product? No?
Well try just one, I'm sure you will buy them all.. ;)

Well, seeing as how Forgotten Heroes: Paladin has already been mentioned, I don't suppose I'll bother plugging that one.

Our other products are:

Academy Handbook: St. John's College of Abjuration
A combined setting and accessory for wizards interested in abjuration.

Unearthed Adventurers: VolumeI
Fetauring two brand new classes, both of which will blow your socks off! A massive 90 page monster of a book that's practically entirely crunch!

Universal FX
a brand new freebie - 14 pages of a new magic system for D20 Modern. Pick it up for free anyway with whatever else you buy.

Maybe we can convince you that PDFs are of high enough quality to warrant your continued investment :).

Cheerio,

Ben
 

Book of Templates is pretty cool... I think you need to tweak some templates a TOUCH, or the CR... but they are very good.

Thanks for the unsolicited nod of approval, Rifter! We like the Book of Templates, too, but we're *really* biased.

(Begin gratuitous plug here)

BTW, there are two other good reasons to pick this up... It is on special now for $5.00 *and* you'll automatically get a copy of the Deluxe Edition when it comes out in a month or so (we hope!). So, it's quite a deal at the moment. (We're running the special in honor of GM's Day, March 4 - check out Creative Mountain's Website for more info on that!) The URL for them escapes me at the moment.

You also might check out our Races of Evernor products (Parts I & II). Each volume is full of PC races (12 new races each, plus 2 free bonus races per volume), features some great artwork (IOHO), and contains many extras (new feats, exotic weapons, and new spells). They're just the thing if you or your group like different PC races to play with. Both of these products are also on sale now for $5.00 a pop (another nod to GM's Day).

If you need free samples of the races, stop by www.silverthornegames.com/free_stuff.htm or see our Five Free Races product on RPGNow.

(End gratuitous plug here).

Other cool PDFs would include any of Phil Reed's stuff - it's very useable and quite creative. Not to mention the fact that with Studio Ronin supplying the art, it looks fantastic.

Malhavoc's product line is top-notch. Very solid mechanics and professional quality art & layout throughout.

Malladin's Gate produces high-quality content (I especially like the Paladin book). The visual presentation lacks a little, but the crunch and flavor mix is wonderful!

Who else? Oh, yes! RPG Objects's stuff. Can't miss there, either.

Just my $.02, anyway.

Cheers!
Ian
