It's Da Curated Archive™! It Will Be The Best 3d6 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 Curated Archive, Da Archive, and Da Archive Annex comprise the collected efforts of countless contributing anons and are attatched to the first three posts.
STEP 3: Get comfortable and browse through the blasted things. Combined they are over 200 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, you can leave it with one of our resident Transmutation Wizards for cleaning here: $nipli /donate $nipli /CleanedByOkultek $nipli /nergal-cleaners Please don't drop the same file in more than one location.
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. [email protected]
Okultek resides in the UK and may also be available for scanning. [email protected]

Why 1337 5p34k? A Paraphrased Message from TheWiz!: To guard against rapid takedowns by bots, we suggest encoding links thusly:
M3G4EnZee /#F!Nq5mVJqR!6WdkQ9T9awc07Uu8oaUzHg
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.

Some games draw more attention than others and will not be added to Da Archive. Please seek the following elsewhere:

Still can't find what you're looking for? Anything might be available on IRC. Try it out!
server: irc.dejatoons.net channel: #rpg-books "@find GameYou'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). HexChat is sometimes recommended above mIRC for this reason, and IceChat 9 has been touted as another easy alternative.
just dropped to backers. anyone have it and would like to share? Interesting project. Thank You

Is there a standard procedure for locating the URLs for vola rooms?
Just to clarify, I'm not asking for the link on the thread (in case it might create problems) but was just wandering if the info is available somewhere. I seem to remember reading about that in some of the PDFs but can't find it on the current ones.
Thanks.

Another NeoExodus collection. Iconics. All of which are available for free from the LPJ website. I gathered and compiled them, did some editing (a misspelled name that was tough), added bookmarks and made the cover using GIMP. It was tricky/fun getting the red background to work. Uploading to Nergal's
Grayson Mitchell
Yes, the original cleaner left the tracking Javascript in the files.

I just get MioEnergy (actually the Walmart knockoff) concentrate. Way more caffeine for the same price. Just don't drink too much of it straight.
Anthony Allen
Does anyone have Eldritch Lairs and DemonCults&Secret Societies for PF?
Carter Morris
Thank you very much - I did check, but as the 3rd Party section has so many subdirectories, I got confused and had missed the 'no directory' directory ;)
Joshua Jackson
Anyone know of any magazine troves that have issues of "The VIP of Gaming"? I am looking for #3 specifically. Fun fact: "The Space Gamer" started as an insert within it's pages... TIA

Seriously?
Hudson Watson
Yes? I'm curious about it, would you rather I actually give Varg money?
What's the difference between the normal pdf and the -optimized pdf?
Isaiah Johnson
I wasn't the cleaner on these, this time around. But I am pretty sure its a false positive.
I will be posting the JS clean files in the /PF and /SFTrove later tonight.
Blake Flores
I think I saw those on Amazon. I was going to buy #3, but in the week it took me to get around to it, it sold. I mentioned this just in case it isn't posted, and you want it anyway.
Parker Morgan
Size and quality.
Alexander Jackson
Looks like there are a few items on scribd
Tyler Robinson
Nevermind, it's all in Italian or something and I'm a dumbass. Search on.
Lucas Butler
I wish it was a false positive, the Javascript Paizo embeds in all the PDF's bought from its store wasn't removed.
Owen Collins
False positive.
Jordan Harris
LOL @ Varg making a RPG. I mean, why can't he just play D&D or MERP in a racist way, like WE had to do back in the day? Kids, no imagination any more. I blame those damn vidya games.

Is "Champions of the Spheres" in the PF Trove?
If it is, can someone please point me in the right direction as the is no Drop Dead Studios folder in the 3rd Party folder?

I'd like to request the just released new edition of "Frontier Towns: Fort Griffin" for Savage Worlds, with the upgraded maps and all.
I know it was just released today, so I'm aware it might be a while before it shows up around here. Still, I wanted to put out a request for it immediately. Been waiting a long time for this one, but I simply can't afford that price tag. After conversion to my country's currency, the PDF would end up costing me about 70 bucks.
If anybody already bought this and is willing to share, many thanks in advance. But if I have to wait a while longer, I'll wait.

Dropped Rifter 19 & 23 official releases with MG the other day (old scan of #23 has a page issue).
Gavin Parker
>23 You can drop them in /PalladiumDrop if you wish. My 23 is ok I think, not official though...i went through and bought all the rifters to replace all the broken scan versions I had.
Brandon Hill
I can fix 23 p38..have a version with it..compared scan artifacts of file and neither matches preview of official file. That's the only way to tell with old scanned files :/ So I will sit tight instead of fixing it. Thanks :) If anyone finds a damaged file tell me. Hard to catch them all. Still need to find a way to fix Through the glass darkly.
