(WotC/d20) How many PDFs do you own?

[Angel Tarragon]

5 DVDs full of PDFs!

I've gone on a PDF buying spree in the last four months. It's just too easy to buy stuff from RPGNow!

I'm learning to like ramen noodles.

I don't like to read from PDF or any other "electronic format", therefore I never bought any. But I own the free Ink & Quill and I have downloaded some of the free adventures, enhancements and AD&D products from the WotC website. If I'm going to use any I will print them out however, since I can't stand reading from the PC for a long time...

Oh gods, I have no idea, looking at my history on RPGNow lists 97, but I also have a bunch from SV Games (before TSR stuff was being carried at RPGNow) and a dozen or so from Drivethru, most of these last were free, but since they dropped the DRM on a lot of products I have become a paying customer.

Some of these are duplicates of print products, for use at the computer, others are raided rather than printed in their entirety, and others have permanent homes in notebooks.

Companies that I keep coming back to:

World Works Games, I am a fan of their cardstock terrain, and the Maiden of the High Seas and Castle Works Ultiomate in particular are wonderful.

Adamant Entertainment, I like their 'drop in' systems, and have used Hot Pursuit and Corsair a decent amount, and plan to find more reasons to do so. Their Pulp line and their magazine for Skull & Bones is also nice.

Expeditious Retreat Press, possiibly the most used books in my collection, not including the forms by Ronin Arts.

Ronin Arts, I use the Campaign Planners a great deal, and copy and paste from several of their works on a regular basis in my games.

E.N. Publishing, not as much as I used to, I find Steam & Steel very useful, but the Arsenal books just are not my cup of tea.

Most recent addition to the repertoire - Bad Axe Games, I am finding the Grim Tales Creature Creation rules handy, though I keep bumping into things that are not covered in the CR calculations.

I voted zero as that is the number of paid for or stand alone pdfs that I have.

I have downloaded product support on pdf from some publishers (all legal)

 

[Clint]

I dig on the Ronin Arts and Expeditious Retreat Press. Not to say that I buy everything they do (really, who could, with Ronin Arts), but I've really enjoyed the stuff I've bought.

For me it is the opposite, I'm not allowed or even able to put things on my work computer, they don't have a drive I can access. But books I can bring with me and read during lunch on breaks and during slow periods. I do like the storage of PDFs better and the ability to print out just what I need.

What about web access? Can you put it on a website and browse to it?

If you need webspace, I got about 20 GB behind a DS3.

All I own is Book of Iron Might and Book of Eldritch Might (though I lost the file for Book of Eldritch Might, so I'm kind of out of luck, but I still voted 2)

 

[Ravellion]

I've paid for 5, own about two dozen. Most of them are adventures.

No slot for a USB drive?

My guess is that it's against company policy to disallow USB drives if he can't write to any hard disks.
