WOTC PDF Sale on RPGNow/DTRPG

[catsclaw227]

I was looking at the various WOTC PDFs available at the new 35% off sale on RPGNow/DTRPG and I was wondering whether this is a good deal or not.

Compared to the prices at Amazon (and even better, Buy.com) for their books, it's not much of a difference, but there are a few that I have wanted in PDF Form (mostly for cut and paste during gaming and for for use with DM Genie).

Has anyone else taken advantage of this sale, and what did you pick up?

I'll probably pick up Weapons of Legacy, Spell Compedium and The Fiend Folio. I wish before the end of the sale WoTC would release a few more titles!

 

[Bacris]

Argh, I was hoping to pick up Complete Mage in PDF, but it's not available yet

 

[Mercule]

If they dropped the price some more, I'd probably pick up a scad of books. There are a whole bunch out there that I only want five or ten pages from and aren't worth the cost (Archivist and Dread Necromancer from Heroes of Horror, basic rules for Weapons of Legacy so some of my other books make more sense, half-ogre from Races of Destiny, that sort of thing).

I would get it for things you want to cut and paste.

Monster books for the stat blocks. Also for when you want just one monster for a night you can print it out and not haul the rest of the book.

Spell Compendium for the spell texts.

Modules for printing maps/handouts, and if you play by email or pbp then description texts to copy and paste for your players.

I got the MMII and a module that I own during the last sale.

I'm thinking of getting another module which I own in print and am running over email right now. Also the Fiend Folio, though Spell Compendium is mighty tempting.

Yeah, I consider this still over priced for PDF's. So I would only get stuff you would find very handy to be able to cut paste like the previous posters have mentioned. That isn't in the SRD.

It's a better deal, but still incredibly overpriced for a .pdf. I'll stick with hardbacks from Amazon.com.

 

[Odhanan]

Still way overpriced.
