Seriously though, I think it's high time for each and every one of us (if we haven't already) send great big gushing THANK YOU's via email to both Rick and James for the recent pdfs and say loud and proud: Bring forth more, for we shall buy them all! ;D

It's probably a good idea mach.. I bought the TnT Zine issues that "that guy" posted so far. I'm sure I'll be buying more also.

Added: I sent "that guy" a thank you email as suggested! I had already thanked Rick in my last letter that went with the CD last week so ;p he's probably heard enough from me for a little while.

LOL "that guy" does have a LOT of material on OP. This is awesome though. Especially when I want some T&T fix while traveling...I rarely have enough room to be carrying T&T books with me.

But, something is wrong. Have you noted that a bunch of those pdfs are crippled? At least the 4th ed rules are locked for printing? WTF? How retarded are that? It's like buying a car and not getting an engine.

Whoa. Seriously?
I sincerely hope that's a mistake. ...well...it's a mistake no matter how you look at it, but I mean I sincerely hope it was unintentional.

Hmm.. interesting I haven't bought 4th Ed yet but I'm going to. If I was going to print a pdf that I found was locked I would try a PDF reader other then Adobe. In theory the reason locking works at all is because someone wrote that into the software. In theory if you use a PDF reader that never got locking and permission coded into it then they just don't work. So..... It's one of those nice copy-protection ideas that is deeply flawed out in the wild.
-Mike
Added: Aha I see at the top of each one of the "that company" releases it says
• Copy/paste disabled • Printing disabled
I'll admit I didn't notice that before. Also I'll add that Preview in OSX ignores that because I can cut and paste and print the PDF's that I have bought.

Yeah. I can understand why'd they do it though. From a business and piracy standpoint. But, I'm waiting till after Christmas until I buy some of these PDFs. Gotta put that money towards gifts instead.

Ooo. You silly monkeys. Using Adobe. Ha. I just grabbed the pdf of Fourth Edition (though I shouldn't have, since technically speaking they're printing disabled and I shouldn't have given any of my money to a person who would do that to their pdfs). Loaded it up in a pdf reader that's actually worth a crap and proceeded to print off a random page here an' there with no problem whatsoever. The free Foxit PDF Reader. Get it. Delete Adobe. Be happy.

Innit Foxit a lil honey?
First time I used it a couple of years ago, I was shocked. Me: "Wow. PDFs, like...scroll when you scroll! The pdf loads when you load it...at the moment you load it! Who knew?!?"
