[UA] PDF files and UA

[Alec Fleschner]

I think John mentioned shifting the UA books to PDF format, and I just 
want to say that I always approve moving older books to PDF format. I 
understand there's an issue of downloading, but older books for a game 
line are often so hard to find that it becomes a pain trying to find 
information for more obscure game lines. If UA is going to go out of 
print, I applaud the decision to at least ensure that the game can be 
found in some format.

Lately, I've been contemplating hunting down the Deadlands books and 
buying them. There's a lot of books there, though, and I have so many 
RPGs that I'm rapidly running out of shelf space. So when I found out 
that the book PDFs were being sold at RPGnow, I was thrilled. It's a 
game system I probably won't use much, and it's out of print, but I can 
get all the books and reference them without chewing up a couple feet 
of shelf space. You can bet that I'll be getting them as they come out. 
IfUA goes this route, at least I can refer new players to the site and 
they can get the books at a reduced cost.

So yay for PDFs. There are problems with them, but I wish more 
companies would do this for out-of-print books.
