WotC release Dieties and Demigods (and soon Complete Warrior) as a PDF

BOZ · Feb 5, 2005

i'd buy it if it was in 3.5 format. otherwise, i don't see the point, as i have a hardcopy of the original 3.0 book.

I asked Charles Ryan about Wizards future plans for these PDFs, and his reply was as follows:

We're taking a look at this product format to gauge the level of interest. We'll release a few additional titles, new and old--keep your eye on DriveThruRPG over the next few months--but we aren't quite at the point where we're bringing out the entire catalog. Depending on how things go, we might do so in the not-too-distant future.

That's certainly positive news, IMO.

Cheers to Charles Ryan. He's been great at responding to fans lately.

Those demigods could stand to lose a few pounds.

Aye, they could afford to lose, I'd say, 13.30 pounds. 13.30 £ pounds, more precisely (should get them to a more reasonnable price of $5).

From here:

DriveThruRPG.com has announced that Wizards of the Coast has signed up to put more of their books online in e-format.

Wait a minute. The role-playing game industry? Using the Internet? GENIUS! I'm in the presence of renaissance!

What that means is, you pay a fee, and you can have some gaming stuff online. Hooray! Eliminate real books forever!

This also means you can cut and paste parts of it, and do full-text search on it. Thus eliminating about 6 hours from each gaming session, and saving your tender, tender fingers from the dangers of paper cuts.

Right now not a freaking thing is available from DriveThruRPG, because they're making stuff available in PDF. Before it was just available as a "DRM e-book."
Don't ask me what that is.

Coming up soon: Complete Adventurer, Deities and Demigods, Complete Warrior, Fiend Folio, and Lords of Madness.

That last line looks promising. I remember seeing these news in a more "news!" format, but can't remember where...
