More TSR-era PDFs?

[Håvard]

Any chance of seeing more TSR era pdfs from paizo? "Gaz10: Orcs of Thar" and "Wrath of the Immortals", both for Classic D&D are particuarly missed. Would having a fan who owns the product scan it and send it to you increase the chance of seeing it for sale? Or would this all have to go through WotC?

I would say "check out the MMB", but I know you already do.

These properties belong to WotC, so new PDFs would have to be provided to us by them. As they are currently pushing a new edition of the game, the likelihood of them providing new material for past editions would be... highly unlikely.

Our license allows us to continue offering the PDFs we currently offer, but we cannot make new ones.

thanks,

Thanks for your quick response!

I guess I'd better take this to WotC then :)

I already own hard copies of the two books in question, but I would like them to become more widely available and alot of people are asking for them. I might even get around to buying the pdfs myself, as my print copies won't last forever.

DudeMonkey, do I know you? :)

Just to clarify, Paizo didn't make any of the TSR product PDFs, either—Wizards (or, as I understand it, a company Wizards contracted) did.

(We did make the Dragon and Dungeon magazine PDFs under license, though.)

I posted to the MML in 1999 a lot and was one of the original members of the Mystara 3E project before that thing bit off more than it could chew (did it ever finish? I got a job and dropped out right around the time they decided to rewrite the core rules to be just like OD&D). I post on the MMB as "genghisuber".

I've been kicking around the idea of a 4th edition Mystara since I think it would be a good match and was waiting to see what the sentiment to that would be over at MMB. I think I'm going to shelf that idea and run Rise of the Runelords instead.

Yeh, I bought the old Mystara books from Paizo in PDF form, and was also disappointed that there was no "Orcs of Thar."

Boo on WotC!

Don't hide your light under a bushel! ;-)

I know that you used to update some of the worst quality pdfs.
But of course this happened when you still had a D&D licence...

It's still up to WotC. Currently they are busy enough with 4e.
Their later pdf releases were 3e only, though.
So don't expect too much.
