Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

Hey, I howled over the price. .

Anyway, I have read the book last night and I enjoyed it a lot. Not only the tables but the advice, specially the section on building adventures. Great book. Let's see how it fares while gaming.

Looks like it is a great product. I'm not paying that much for a .pdf, however.

When it comes down to $20, I'll bite.

At first, I was a bit put off by the price as well, I admit, but $30 for a game specific PDF like the ones that WotC put out is a bit different, though. After consideration, the material in this book is edition and system neutral. No matter what (fantasy) game I play, the information in here is useful. I can use this material for years to come, not just the expected life of a game system. In that respect, it is much more valuable to me and will likely get much more use than a game specific product because I can use this in my 4e game, my 3.x/Pathfinder game, or a Swords & Wizardry game if my group decides to do that.

Yeah, normally I wouldn't buy a PDF priced this high. Especially after buying it in print. However I decided the copy/paste function with something like this was worth it.

Wow, this book is awesome! Thanks for making it available as a PDF.

I've only got two minor nitpicks:
- On Table 1-23: Insanities it says "Antipathy. Lack of emotion". I think that's supposed to be Apathy.
- No bookmarks . Why, oh why? I hereby humbly request that you add them to the PDF... please? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

Anyway, I'd rate it at 9.5/10 for the PDF. (10/10 with bookmarks )

In this instance, Antipathy kind of fits... but sure Apathy could work as well...

as for bookmarks, i have no idea how to add them

are you happy? my dreaded secret is revealed.

Oopsie. Well, it can be done with a pdf editor, e.g. Nitro PDF Professional. I don't know about Adobe, but it should be able to handle that as well. Maybe take a look at the manual or help file/menu for the program(s) you used to create the pdf. (I usually prefer the trial and error method.)

Nice one jim. You actually got to make a clip on how you use the book. That's great. I am surprised how often I still turn to the book in the games I run!

Its not a rumor. Can you take a break from writing L5R 4E and tell your AEG contacts to restock Paizo? Plus Amazon if they have enough copies left to send to them.
