[QUOTE="Razuur, post: 2239536, member: 1997"] Hello all, I wanted to open a discussion on PDFs. In general, I have been a real supporter of PDF products. I bought the Book of Eldritch Might and Maidenheim very early on in the D20 PDF days. While I have occasionally hit a stinker, for the most part, I have been really happy with PDFs, and continue to support the sub-industry. i am really looking forwards to Rocketship Empires by Storyart, for example. And the only reason I am holding off on Legends of the Samurai is that I really want that puppy in hardback like Legends of Excalibur. That said, I find the current trend interesting. It seems that nowadays, publishers are producing lots of smaller page count PDFs for around a couple of bucks. The large high page count PDFs seem to be getting fewer and fewer. There must be some merit to this approach, and it must be finacially viable for the designers and publishers. I think that is great, because anything that keeps people like Phil Reed and Adamant going is great. But I gotta admit that I am far less satisfied with the little PDFs than the big ones, even when they are well designed. The little ones just seem to barely whet my appetite, whereas the bigger ones leave me satisfied for a very long time. How do you feel about PDFs? Do you purchase them? Do you like them? How big or little? Just curious what the general rpger thinks. Any publishers chime ins are welcome as well. Razuur [/QUOTE]
