Dying Earth RPG Part 1 The PDF Conundrum

This month is the last month of Pelgrane Press's license for Jack Vance's Dying Earth. Therefore, April would be the last month that Dying Earth RPG PDFs would be offered. When PDFGate occurred, I remarked that my confidence being able to download any purchased Dying Earth PDFs was shaken. Like reading my comics I am not the most prompt downloader. I rely on OBS implied promise that my purchased download would still be there. Since Dying Earth is a license I wasn't sure if the license revocation would emulate PDFGate. In addition, my IPS doesn't like too many downloads. Which begets the question would I have time to download them? Based on the question, I was leaning against purchasing any Dying Earth PDFs.

My interest in the Dying Earth RPG still lingered. After all, Dying Earth is one of the major influences on D&D. So I was still curious how a role-playing game that focused on exclusively on Vance's creation would work. So I went to Pelgrane Press's site and perused the free downloads and links to free downloads that they provided. What glimpsed from a casual look over of said downloads intrigued me enough that I decided to purchase a small handfull of the products. That small handful ended up being four books. Although admittedly one of those four was for the d20 system. Still I probably would not have purchased them if not for free previews and downloads.

Sometime in the future I'll comment on the Dying Earth RPG.
