Even though they have their own system in the works (probably in the pre-alpha stage),
these books are available through pdf. I know nothing about the type of DRM being used
on the books, nor do I know anything about their quality. They average 30 bucks, so it's
not something to purchase lightly.

If you're wondering what the big deal is, it's that the books are no longer in print since
their runs were something of a niche market within a niche market. People paid high prices
to get their hands on the books via Ebay. I'm glad now that they have some kind of
viable method to get this material.

The DTRPG stuff usually uses watermarking (I.E. the document has your name on it) and basic PDF password protection (I.E. you can't just copy images out, etc.)

The latter is pretty easy to break, I think. The former only punishes people who actually break the rules, so it's ahrd to argue with.

Ah, Balance, thanks for the information!

I might pick these up. No sign of Lock & Load, Liber Mechanika or Monsternomicon 1

The books and setting are very nice. Its worth getting.

You mean you have all of them in print except those three?
