Oh...no it *really* sucks
Hey,
So you may have heard that WotC has stopped selling PDFs of their D&D material and they've launched lawsuits to crack down on "pirates".
So...yeah, that's stupid.
But today I realized that when they stopped selling PDFs, they stopped selling *all* their D&D PDF material -- including the PDFs of all the 1st/2nd edition D&D material and the base box stuff. Basically everything that's out of print.
Crap. I'm glad I picked those PDFs up when I did. Because there's no outlet for that kind of stuff anymore -- short of scrounging around on eBay and buying old copies. The PDFs were always good, clean scans and I could store them on a CD so they didn't take up space but were always there. Now? Crud.
D&D -- cutting off its nose to spite its face for over three corporate owners.
