I pdfs of ALL...but a few. So yes, please. Three are actually somewhat silly, but I'll tell you why I need the pdfs and not SRD. "Mage's...." instead of "Mordenkainen's..." in PHB, and the inclusion of Mindflayer and Beholder in MM (core), and some setting specific DMG data. I need core pdfs. I paid for them, I just don't have them on hand where I paid for them, so can't download them. I think a friend I've lost contact with bought them for me. I don't recall. Gah though, I just looked up the going price on some 3.5 books, physical copies...whew...maybe a good source to declutter and rebuild, by selling, if for lesser cut. My storage unit has cost me close two months rent over this time, and dang, seeing the PHB, just normal PHB (mint granted) makes me think it's a sign to go all digital. For $200, per book, yeah...I can sacrifice the paper in hand.
I also need Complete Warrior, Arcane, Divine, and I'll have to look...you know what the complete series would be easiest, honestly. I'm missing some and have some, not sure which I'm missing.
I have most of the Races of...but might be missing one. Draon magazine compilation I bought (got through DDI) just can't locate them ATM. Those are hard to find though, so maybe I can put a bounty on specific issues, as they come up.
If I need anything else, I'll ask.
A shout out to my dear friend JRScott for doing this very early on in this path. Unfortunately, I lost my password to my Protonmail account. So special thanks to him, and if his life improves, I want to acknowledge I loved that collection, it spared me so many lonely times by reading everything from 2e to 4e and more.
Anyway, I'll post in another thread my contact info. I need to set up a new account and have medium security for it. While homeless, I used high or custom security for my web and especially contacts. Look for that contact info in a non-public thread, one to JRScott's RTJ will be posted too.
On that note, I do want to spread the word that JRScott is struggling right now, and I really intend to help him like my anonymous donor did on RPoL, his only asking (as a total stranger beyond RPoL use, giving in excess of $150) was to pass it on.
Spoiler for about those that can and want to help: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
No guilt need be if you decide you can't or won't have the chance, but JRScott is dealt the 2, 5, 6 and the flop showed no 3 or 4. Literally speaking, he was dealt a worse fate than me. It's not my story to tell, but he went from being homeless from his home destroyed, and then homeless again from his home reassigned. He's had some health issues, including mental health, which is the brain after all. A physical organ, that is the only, only organ you can't get transplant for. Mental health is physical health, and vice versa. It's arguably the apex. I wanted to share my friend's struggle as I could, and even though I'm knee deep still, I can wade, I have a dry shirt. It's not pretty, but I'm way above head above water.
Don't take that as a call to action any more than you would from anyone else. A special note should be made he's been unable to reply to correspondence. So if you try to reach out, he may not reply. He might not be able to to. He...I don't know...he may never be able to again.
I'll end this detour soon. Those of you who discretely offered more than morale support, but mail in or phone in aid, I'd like to reserve the opportunity to help JRScott or any of the community like him with your aid, if that's okay with those that offered that in this game.
I also know someone that I won't name, as I haven't had as much intimate permission, but they're father passed away, and their mother is in ruin financially. So this person has had to take care of her, and it's caused a great deal of strain. They are an avid D&D and Exalted player, and they will know what I mean, when I say they couldn't even eat at Wendy's or McDonald's without making special provisions. Last I heard they had home and food. My anonymous donor asked me to pay is forward, and I'm going how I can. This is one step.
That's all I'll say. Guilt trips are not my vacation. I felt it only right to practice the same generosity I was shown.
pdfs will be itemized and contact data will be provided in another group thread, not public.
It's a long day ahead of me...I haven't nearly as much sleep as I should have, but I'm very happy to have a day alone, while I'm awake (at this point) to go over personal pursuits. I think I'll crash hard when I do crash though. Crash as in sleep, or nap, preferably both.
