[QUOTE="EOL, post: 1055344, member: 823"] For all those who are [b]never[/b] going to buy a pdf I have a question. What if the PDF did something that you could never do in print? [[i]Full disclosure I am a PDF publisher and my PDFs do something that you can't do in print, so obviously I'm not a very objective party.[/i]] Say you find an adventure you like down at the FLGS. You love it, you want to run it, but it's written for 4 8th level character and you have 7 11th level characters. If you want to run it you're going to have to make quite a few modifications or your party is not going to have any fun because the adventure is way too easy. Let's say that there was a PDF company (there is but that's not the point) who allowed you to enter the APL the number of characters, the amount of treasure you wanted, etc. And then generated the PDF dynamically and took care of all of the scaling for you. So that the adventure you bought is now designed for 7 11th level characters and you didn't have to do any modification by hand. So the question would be would that benefit or a similar benefit (i.e. getting something with a pdf you can't get with a hard copy) be enough to overcome your dislike of PDF's (and electronic publications in general) or is the printed book always superior to the electronic? Or perhaps stated even more succienctly is there something you could envision which would make you change your mind about PDF's some feature, function, cost issue, etc.? Also if someone could change the title of the thread (an admin or the thread author) so that it's more descriptive, as it is someone browsing the forum would have no idea what the topic of this thread is (I had to have it pointed out to me).
