It's Da Curated Archive™ ! It Will Be The Best 36 Hours Of Your Gaming Career!
STEP 0: Please exhibit good manners. This thread will be automatically archived after a certain number of posts. More posts wasted on being rude means fewer posts available for sharing.
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. More 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 160 pages long. If you skim over the Personal Collections without looking you will miss 7,654 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. I understand your frustration (they used to drive me crazy), but you don't kick a puppy for not being housebroken. If they upset you, punch a teddy bear or something.
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 Wizards and ask them politely for their assitance. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
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]
Okultek resides in the UK and may also be available for scanning or cleaning. [email protected]

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.

Please do not ask for or share any of the following, on pain of thread-cancer:

user says:
Literally all the banned stuff is readily available on IRC. Rather than go on about not asking for them you should just send people there. server: irc.dejatoons.net channel: #rpg-books "@find GarbageYou'reLookingForGoesHere" should net you plenty of DCC responses to sift through.
Just do the text. If you use mirc you're going to have to go into your options and turn off the option that denies a whole bunch of file formats as well as the check box that turns them on again after a couple of minutes. (genius design there)

Noah Foster
No sign of Geniefag. Hmm. Interesting.
Elijah Russell
whos that ?
James Evans
I'm requesting some Heroic map packs. Any will do, but I'm looking for these the most.
The guy who keeps asking for the same book about genies in every single thread
Dylan Morgan
o haha
Christopher Phillips
Guild: So, I just heard from a reliable source that you mentioned that you are adding secret watermarks to the items you clean, and that you shut down your room because someone "leaked" items that you had in your room.
You don't get to decide what we do with items after they are liberated. And you sure as hell aren't getting anything from this guy. And you sure as hell don't need to be putting other fucking watermarks in files.
If that is the case, I will suggest that everyone here not send anything to The Guild again. Fuck that.
CoC
p.s. I also posted this 4 doors up just make sure you notice.
Hunter Ramirez
WTF
Christopher Cruz
Will do. That sounds like some shitty thing to do when the people donate the stuff to him. Does he do it for attention or some shit?
"This file that was donated to me was cleaned by me, guys!"
Connor Nguyen
Or he could be NSA trying to bait us for a sting
Jaxon Gonzalez
doin things like that just sets everyone up for trouble. any watermark is bad whether its a legit one or a pirates one
I'm looking for the d20 version of Darwin's World. Checked both archives and they only have the Savage Worlds version from what I could see.
Adrian Diaz
Thank you to you and the donors for sharing these.
Tyler Gonzalez
You're welcome. Just wish I'd been able to deliver them as fast as I'd hoped. Apologies for missing the deadline I'd given.
Charles Diaz
No worries, it's now a winter solstice gift. :)
Kevin Moore
haha nice
Angel Adams
Thanks a bunch for uploading waters above and the other books. Sylgar's guide looks interesting. Don't worry about not being on time, there's no need to rush and we are pretty patient anyway. Uploading the pdfs at all is something we are all thankful for.
Aaron Taylor
Anyone has W20th Changing Ways to share?
Thanks
Isaac Harris
Computer got hit with a virus and I lost my hardrive and all the tabletop game pdfs I had on it, trying to rebuild my collection now that its fixed. Does anyone have Tenra Basho Zero's pdfs (like both the full color ones and the black and white ones)?
Liam Mitchell
Seconded
Jaxon Scott
What are you seconding?
Connor Russell
Seconded
Jonathan Cook
fucked up on the reply
Jordan Moore
Seconding Xenomorphs and carrying over my request of Death is the New Pink from the last thread. Thanks.
Dylan Bennett
Death is The New Pink is in Da Annex
Hudson Wilson
That's scary.
Even if that's not true, it plants the seed of doubt in those who purchase and donate-and I am certainly in that group.
If it is true then shame on you.
Anthony Sullivan
The annex entry titled "DCC#35 GM’s Guide to the Known Realms" is incorrect. The pdf provided at the address listed is in fact the player's supplement from the same box set.
Aaron Reyes
Oops. I d/led the Curated and Da Archive and missed the Annex. Thanks.
Aiden Morales
no probs
Alexander Morales
Rather than pour gas on the flames with speculation on behalf of the donators (myself included) can we get some other cleaners to actually verify this? What files? What marks?
Jack Martinez
marks or no marks is irrelevant. Even saying you're doing it is fucked up.
Camden Ortiz
Requesting "DCC#35 GM’s Guide to the Known Realms"
he said he did it. he admitted to doing it. he admitted to doing something there is no need to do. something that is against what the whole cleaning and sharing thing is about.
Leo Roberts
Humbly requesting Mythic Variations II, if anyone has it and is happy to share.
Carter Wilson
Shit. I missed that part.
Liam Myers
Does anyone have The Trickster's Labyrinth for 5e?
When did he start doing these, because i might need to send you the files to be re-cleaned. This thing we do is all about trust and someone we trust to clean files donated to them should not be doing something like this. It breaks our trust we have in you.
Jonathan Powell
Fuuuuuck (this Guild dude) Hey, was it even explicitly verboten to re-post his quote-liberated-unquote stuff elsewhere?
Isaac Walker
lol @ a pirate outraged that his attempts to establish slash protect brand identity fell flat
Daniel Martin
I've been trying to access the SOTDL trove without success. Are the links down?
Gimme a sec to upload. Lot of stuff. I'll repost when I get the link squared away.
CoC
Jeremiah Watson
Works fine for me
Nolan Ramirez
>pirate brand identity This sorta reminds me of the warez scene of yore, with Razor 1911, DEViANCE, RLD! et al
Joshua Martinez
Any time.
Anthony Allen
It's still pretty common in Anime/Manga/Comic Book piracy. Lots of groups and inserted pages or subtitles with piracy credits
Lincoln Powell
That was released into the wild today 4 chans up.
Joseph Mitchell
Carse can you tell me when he started so i can send anything i got after to you for re-cleaning. I don't want to send you everything i got from him to you. So if he did it after a time period i can give you just those files.
Lincoln Carter
Think of PDF cleaners inserting vanity pages with their own logos into new releases I mean, groups pirating digital comics do it all the time, what with Minutemen and so on Carse, Guru, just think of all that sweet sweet nerd street cred/rep you've been missing out on all that time
Hunter Stewart
(fuck, you beat me to the punch)
Luke Gomez
I was mistaken its here up thread.
Colton Gomez
In Da Annex
Jace Ward
Yeah, they put it in but it's not a watermark or some kinda code that's in the file itself, it's superficial, i don't like the idea of watermarks and code put in the file itself.
Ryder Hughes
I'm not sure where I'm messing up.
H1v3 sends me to M3g4, but it says the folder is no longer available to view while $n!p just redirect me to a 404 page.
I tested the Shattered and Solo trove $n!p and it worked.
Samuel Davis
Well, the snip link takes me to the following mega storage: /#F!xrpCHY6K!xnNuwGZ8gQm5Z_JPf_EuHA
Asher Bell
That's kinda the point, those vanity cards and filename inclusions are very removable yet very visible As in, when a file you released ends up someplace else (which happens all the time), someone sees the marks and notices how skillful and quick and hard-working and awesome the releaser is, and you are making a name more or less (by stealing, mind, but still)
While a hidden watermark's purpose is
I don't even know
Make it so that when a file thus marked emerges someplace else, you can suddenly jump out and, dunno, sue everybody or whatever for taking stuff without your permission, I suppose?..
Or have a fit and threaten to stop pirating, but that has been your right all along, TheGuild mah boi, no one's twisting your arm or anything
Austin Sanders
Well in his case makes him pack it up and rage quit, yet again from what I understand.
Elijah Fisher
Well now I'm confused.
Thank you for the link it works perfectly.
Matthew Watson
Case sensivivity of the stuff past "/", I suppose, must be all caps
Isaiah Fisher
There is some shit happening 4 chans up.
Jeremiah Brown
(leaves to have a look)
David Adams
TheGuild likes a lot of attention and drama, he always has...it's not healthy but that's the way he rolls. Very poor form though, he needs to keep his hands off files used by the community.
Alexander Green
The release bit was to protect donors, especially for early release items and was a gentleman's agreement among donors. It protected accounts. The Guild shouldn't have marked things up but I can't say I'd have done it differently once I new the group had been betrayed. I am a little pissed that this is how I'm learning about it but I'm more pissed someone may have put my accounts in jeopardy.
Mason Nelson
When I buy something that doesn't sell a lot or has just been released I just wait a bit before sending it off to the cleaners. If you are worried about your safety, don't put it in someone else's hands, imo.
Watermarking is whatever bit it's more evidence that guild is a weirdo control freak who I wouldn't want to see any of my information.
Carter Ortiz
Easier said than done when it's a bunch pooling resources, sharing risks, and based on trust. Which doesn't excuse things even if I understand the reason.
Cooper Howard
Am I missing something with downloading from IRC? Did the ![Name] [PDF], and got a response, but no file downloaded. Using Online IRC and Private Mode, if that helps.
Also, is there any way to cancel a (supposedly in transit) irc download? Would feel kind of bad switching + trying again without canceling the first.
Charles Reyes
True. I wish there was more transparency about how to clean files so people could do it themselves. But posting workarounds is how you get new DRM that avoids them.
Nolan Kelly
Jesus, I have no idea. Who the hell knows?
CoC
Aaron Garcia
Kindly requesting Broken Worlds RPG. Thanks in advance.
Ethan Jenkins
If you're using mIRC, there are some settings you have to change or it will block transfers of "unsafe" files. (Which is basically all of them)
And there's another setting which turns it back on again automatically, so you have to turn that off. (This is why I recommend Hexchat instead)
