Joe, feel free to see what the fuss is about, but the issue goes WAY beyond DTRPG's usability. Before you do anything that actually plunks some money down, do some research on DRM from the Wikipedia.JoeGKushner said:This is a good idea. Let's everyone see what the fuss is about with a great book to boot.
It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out. To be honest, while I enjoy PDF files, I'm mainly a print buyer and if I know something is coming to print, will almost always buy the print product. Heck, almost every PDF I've bought I wind up printing anyway which increases my cost of ownership quite a bit.
Hopefully this is a viable model and we'll continue to see more material and more options for the buyers.

You can see why it has to be stopped. The RPG industry is small enough that a few lost sales CAN make a difference.
