Status of New Official T&T PDFs?

[Deleted]

Does anyone know the status of any new official T&T PDFs from Flying Buffalo? I would love to own 4th and/or 5th Edition T&T and MSPE. Doesn't Mr. Loomis want my money?

Hard copy versions are available , Leisure Games in the uk stock them.

There has been no Official word regarding new PDF's [beyond what is already up at rpgnow]. We know Rick has some new ones which includes a 5th Edition Ruleset. It is unknown if he has a 4th Edition even though OP had it. The best thing you could do is write Flying Buffalo and express you desire to purchases [legally] PDF's of FBI products.

The "that company" OOP T&T editions were OCR scans of an original document rather than a PDF of the actual product.

Huh?

I mean, he had to have pdf files right? That's what one uses to upload to CreateSpace (which is what I suspect he was using first) and to Lulu.

I think what he means is the PDF where based on scanned images which where then OCR'd as opposed to original digital content converted to PDF. Given the age of the FBI product line this will be the norm, I highly doubt Rick has anything laid out in a format that could be exported directly to PDF.

Apologies for the obtuseness - Mike ably described what I meant.

Back in 1979 they set metal type on wooden trays... I was in the business back then (apprentice - commercial art). Rick couldn't make a PDF out of that even with 20th level magic.
