March 4 is “DM’s Day”. Time flies. My wallet, too. Remember 2006-11-09 Nostalgia for Rolplaying Games? “And since none of my former roleplaying friends play anymore, I just sit on my books and dream of days gone by.”

But things have changed!

I blame it all on GreyWulf. ;)

1. I have a weekly game! 😄

2. I’ve bought tons of PDF stuff. 😐

3. I’ve spent tons of money. 🙁

I’ve decided to see how much money I spent, and vowed to stop purchasing any new stuff. (Not including the stuff that’s in the pipeline, obviously...)

So check it out: RoleplayingBookshelf.

Today I also got two “watermarked” PDF files from Necromancer Games, and had to install Adobe’s Acrobat Reader in order to view them: Apple’s built-in Preview.app was unable to display them correctly. What a shame. I don’t trust Adobe, because their software looks like a dangerous multi-headed hydra with way too many features, probably auto-updating, no uninstall option, and messing with PDF handling all over the system.

I don’t mind Watermarked PDFs at all, though I agree about the dislike for Adobe Acrobat. It’s just too memory leaky for my tastes. Given a choice between watermarks or DRM though, I’ll take the watermarked product every time. It’s as good a compromise as any, I guess. Easy to crack though, so pointless in the end.

I’m rambling now. I’ll shut up 😄
