It's Da Archive™ ! It Will Be The Best 9 Hours Of Your Gaming Career!
STEP 1: Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. There is lots of stuff, including filled requests posted directly to the board. Files posted directly to Veeky Forums are not added to Da Archive, so go grab them now. Archived threads can be found here: archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/PDF share/
STEP 2: Grab your documents. Da Archive is multiple documents. You especially want to get Da Curated Archive.
STEP 3: Get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is only about 150 pages long. If you skim over the Personal Collections without looking you will miss 7,000 pdfs.
Remember, we are better than all of the rest of the horrible internet and good manners ALWAYS gets more results. Wise up or please go elsewhere.
Extra Special Thanks to the user Brigade who do ALL of the digging, loading, and posting.
Please ONLY POST OPEN SOURCE PDFS DIRECTLY IN THIS THREAD. Link the others from elsewhere. Excessive infractions could cause TPTB to remove the ability to post any pdfs at all. Check for copyrights before you post anything directly.
Please be patient with the Irrepressible Urchins™ who request without looking first. They are always a regular feature here. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although that also bumps the thread. If they upset you, punch a teddy bear. I understand your frustration (they used to drive me crazy), but you don't kick a puppy for not being housebroken.
Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) the more chances someone might recognize it and upload it.
Please post dead links and I will remove them to keep the archive up to date. Be specific - include a page number. There are dozens of copies of some PDFs.
Please be respectful and don't belittle others' requests because you dislike the game. Imagine the horrific RPGs I've run across; 'Dragon Dildo Warriors', ‘Cheeto Fingered Gods of Angst’, and 'We're All Little Girls (Frilly Dresses Are Mandatory At the Table)' spring to mind.
If you have a fancy pdf that has unwanted clutter on it, one way to clean it is to contact our resident Transmutation Wizard and politely ask him to clean a pdf. He will set his scrying device to accept pdfs, and then you ship it to him. Magic occurs, and the pdf is purified. [email protected]
By the way, thanks, Mageguru. You're the best!
CityofCarse is responsible for many recent scans from private collections. If you have a rare or obscure book, he may be willing to convert your dead tree into digital bits. He may also be available to clean your files. [email protected]

Our dear friend Snip has made a full recovery.
Check out Da Curated Archive to see what's in it. Pick a game or small publisher you like that’s not too big and complete it as best you can easily. Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken down, put it up again later. Using indirect links seems to work for Mageguru.

Why 1337 5p34k? A Paraphrased Message from TheWiz!: To guard against rapid takedowns by bots, we suggest encoding links thusly:
The above link is easy to decode but does not show up as a working link to the lurking T-888's. Obfuscation becomes most important when filling requests. Posting a full link right out of a large Trove/Collection risks the whole thing. Just post a page reference for Da Archive or Da Annex, with a short instruction and let the document do the job of guarding the links.
Does anyone have the Publ1sher's Ch0ice: Qu1ck C0vers series?
Similarly, is there an RPG stock art trove anywhere?

Hello Game enthusiasts. I noticed on the 7Ch thread before it got nuked that someone was requesting to see my game B&B, and that S&S is on the Archive wish list.
I've given it a lot of thought and I'm going to approach this differently than some small press operators do. My fellow publishers might crucify me for this decision, but this is my product and my work, so I shall do what I think is best.
The link below is to a sendspace file where the latest copies of both games are located. I'm going to share something with you, and I am going to ask a favor in return. What little bit of money I make off of my books, I use to fund my daughter's monthly trips to the Mayo Clinic in Florida, it is a miniscule amount, as I really don't have time to produce more items, and sales vary. Not complaining, just explaining. My request is, if you like these books, please consider purchasing one (or more :D ) of my other products (mostly adventures and adventure locales). Most of my prices are pretty low, I've never done this with thoughts of getting rich or making it big. I put the work into my games to use with my local group and my group has suggested that I put them up for sale.
Here is the sendspace link, not obfuscating, because I am the creator and I"m not going to dcma this.
Regardless of whether you want to purchase anything else, I'd be interested to hear what you think about these. By the way, I know the bookmarks suck in Skyscrapers & Sorcery. I did a better job on B&B, I've just not had time to go in and fix them on S&S. Perhaps Soon
Happy Gaming

Thank you for being the Anti-Fox.
I, and I'm sure others, have appreciated this gesture. Many of us do actually buy products that we enjoy, especially if we are going to take them to the table, and being able to read through things before we buy them is always nice.
Thanks again, and good luck!

Did anbody free French Revolution for Ruling Cthulhu or has this special scenario for Terrible Experiences in Way of Orient Express Voyage?
Well thank you for the generosity. I love OSR games, particularly those that use the system in unexpected ways, so I'll give your games a look. Come payday, I'll send a few bucks your way (it's the only thing I can spare, after all I wouldn't be here in this thread if I have more).

Did you try the WOTC trove? I think that is where I found mine.
Chase Carter
Leagues of Cthulhu was shared, but you missed it.
Colton Cooper
Not trying to be obtuse, but I never saw it the first time. Still don't see it there now or in the Annex.
Caleb Campbell
then you aren't looking hard enough, clearly.

Tell ya what, and it doesn't make you any less of a dickhead, as that's a real cuntish tone you copped for someone asking for things from strangers, I'll throw you a bone...
link? I can't seem to find what you're referring to.
Lincoln White
There are five versions of Primeval Thule. Pathfinder, 13th Age, D&D5, Savage Worlds and D&D4. Some are already shared, some are not. Which one are you looking for?
Brayden Scott
D&D5, good sir.

how is a specific list, 'random"? lol
Andrew Clark
His request's not all tied to one publisher or line, but is a grab bag of stuff covering all sorts of systems and genres? Random doesn't mean "unspecified."
It's one of the games where the creator goes all out to stamp out sharing of it

It’s in humble barder’s trove.
Jordan Nguyen
Curator of /Hackmaster trove, here.
Seconding this request as always, but the pdf is only obtainable by preordering the hard copy of the book (cost is $75 inside the US, much more outside). This has been the case for over a year, no release date for the book itself has been officially announced. They do release updates to the pdf (including one quite recently) so its not dead or anything, but its still behind a hefty paywall.
I imagine the overlap between people paying $75 or more to preorder a book with no release date, and people who are reading this thread, is close to non-existent. But if not, please consider donating your copy to be cleaned and released. KenzerCo has gotten all the preorders they're going to get at this point, the thing has been in limbo for a year now.
