I give away good usable chunks of all of my books for free. They're all linked on my store's pages. Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master is super cheap. $8 for the PDF. All my books are priced down to get them into as many hands as possible. I also release tons of material into the creative commons from many of my books. I released all my old books into the CC:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://slyflourish.com/lazy_gm_resource_document.html" target="_blank">Lazy GM's Resource Document</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://slyflourish.com/lazy_5e_monster_building_resource_document.html" target="_blank">Lazy GM's Monster Builder Reference Document</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://slyflourish.com/the_lazy_dungeon_master_cc.html" target="_blank">The Original Lazy Dungeon Master</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://slyflourish.com/dm_tips_ebook.html" target="_blank">Dungeon Master Tips</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://slyflourish.com/sly_flourishs_running_epic_tier_dd_games.html" target="_blank">Running Epic-Tier Games</a></li> </ul>and still people feel like they have to post the full books to various websites.I don't DRM any of my books. I don't watermark them. I put them out in open formats like PDF, EPUB, and now Markdown. I want to make it as easy as possible for people to get value from my books.So yeah, it chaps my ass to see people talking about previewing books at pirate sites. You can just come to me and preview a lot.But I'll never try to bury my books behind a paywall instead of giving customers downloadable versions they can keep (and back up -- don't forget to back up your stuff!) forever.</blockquote>
