They are also supplied at present with no inbuilt security (DRM) and complete with optical character recognition enabled.I, for one, prefer that the back page is at the back of the PDF. I don't mind moving the maps on the inner leaf of the back page to the front, but I like to keep the colour back cover at the back. With no security on these PDFs I can move pages around, export the maps as bitmaps for manipulation, joining, resizing and printing, and I can copy and paste text, clipart and players handouts.I've got to congradulate Goodman Games for not disabling the usefullness of the PDF format, and trusting their buyers not to redistribute the PDFs. After all there isn't even a watermark burnt into it. I for one will continue to buy my DCC collection in PDF format.

Badmike wrote:It did seem like a really good deal there...$50 US. If I had kept up with the auction more I would have bid, I just assumed it would be out of my price range. The Goodman Games stuff seems to be in a bit of a mini-slump right now...should come out of it soon. Regardless that's a great price for the item.Mike B.

If he'd just gone for a single listing at $9.99 it would probabably have gone for over $80.Anyone got a spare DCC #3.5 for sale?
No kidding. Anyone have one, period? I haven't seen one on Ebay in awhile. No telling what one would go for in an open auction at this point....!

mbassoc2003 wrote:I only have the PDF.Seems as though $50 is the market value forDCC #12.5 1E. Maybe the extra print runs (there were at least three but I bet you Goodman Games won't disclose any info on that), and the PDF for sale will keep the price capped.

Badmike wrote:I would tend to agree (obviously). My floating the prices in the $125, $100 and $75 range brought nothing, while a lowering to $50 brought an immediate sale. So I think the price (for the present) is pretty much set at that amount. Mike B.

As it is I would have felt bad losing it to someone else for $50 while waiting to save a further $10-$20. It has some extra content over the 3.5E version, making it interesting to have if you buy DCC modules. So that was the real draw for getting it, not the current scarcity, the printing, or the 1E conversion.I only have a very limited amount of copies...and they aren't going to go below $50, I think that's the accepted amount at this point. The limited editions aren't getting any less limited!!!The DCC 20.5 is a different story ...I don't have that one either and saw the auction. But I refrained from bidding as I've heard several people say the module is not very good story wise. That and the seller listed a DCC 12.5 as "rare" when it was only the common 3.5E version. Little things like that and his $200 BIN just rubbed me the wrong way on a module that I am already not enthusiastic about getting.Well, it's not a good module. You might be able to find it someday cheaper.I agree DCC 3.5 is the one to look for ...it's got the Otis cover, the Arneson story, and as far as i know no one has a stash of them waiting to sell. I'd prefer waiting for one of those to come up, instead hitting a $200 BIN for a 20.5. DCC 17.5 is a close 2nd, as it has some tie in with DCC 17, which is a good story in it's own right. I'd value those two as worth getting at collector's prices, while 12.5 1E and 20.5 I'd be willing to wait a bit for.Cheers!
