[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 1054480, member: 7394"] I just want to add my voice to the pro-PDF argument. I do understand wanting to have the printed copy, and I sometimes hold off on purchases if I know a print version will be out at some point myself. I haven't bought a Monte PDF since the Demon God's Fane. I always wait for his printed products. I'm actually surprised no one has yet mentioned RPG objects. Let me tell you, these guys are great. First of all, I find their Darwin's World products excellent. Blood and Space was no stinker either. What's more is that they're the only company that I'm aware of that will charge you an upgrade to print option rather than charging you again for the printed book. In fact, I stopped by the booth at Gen Con and was given the upgrade price for Blood and Space - even though they didn't have their rates handy, and they couldn't check to verify that I had bought the PDF (I have bought it, by the way). What about the classic TSR product PDFs? How many out of priont books can you get in electronic format? Most of them, and they can be purchased either through RPGNow and SVGames. What about that book you loved back in highschool but foolishly gave away? Can anyone say Temple of Elemental Evil? I wouldn't have that in my collection had it not been for the PDF format. One final point is that the argument that you can't browse through PDF products before you buy isn't true. RPGNow! has their free magazine download that has excerpts from many of the PDFs they sell.
