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]

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.
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.
Does anyone know where to find issues of Alarums and Excursions magazine? The more the merrier.
Thanks as always.

Because some people want to have a special room where they can share stuff with others and those who get in their special room gets to have the goodies provided you fit the criteria they set. Sounds fun doesn't it.
Ryan Russell
Sounds elitist and counter productive. If that's really the way he wants to go, it would be for the better if he went the same road The Guild went in the end.
Henry Rodriguez
I don't remember any time someone did that and the result was backlash against them. *cough* Guild *cough*
Aiden Diaz
Exactly he's doing the same thing Guild did, he was hit by a DMCA notice and instead of going ok well life goes on Guild put a password on his vola and then on top of it he put code and whatnot Mageguru exposed hi for doing. yes the people who do that are douchebags, but it doesn't mean you take it out on the rest of us because of them.
Christian Rodriguez
Can anyone share Fantasy AGE Companion? I know it was shared before but can't locate it in the current upheaval of lost rooms...
I mean, we haven't had much juicy drama since Watermarkgate and Guildxit, so we could definitely use a fresh scandal.
Jose Butler
Big Thanks!
Julian Perez
Any Dan Coleman map available anywhere? Not the modules, just the maps.
Ethan Ward
Hey, let's all wildly speculate about how the namefags are all conspiring with game publishers to bring down the chans.
Aaron Ward
More than half the physical books on my shelf I bought after previewing them from chan shares. Publishers ought to chill out. Sharing probably generates more sales than it takes away.
Jackson Hernandez
Somewhere between 75-80% of publishers agree with you.
Jackson White
Actually I was completely not involved in that.

Especially the retro-clone publishers. Dude, you're selling someone else's work anyway. That having been said, I play (and have purchased physical copies of) Labyrinth Lord. I prefer physical copies. Games I actually play, I buy.
Ryan Sanders
>and the wasteland companion ta for this!
Carter Anderson
Silly conjecture. Some volas got taken down, nothing has happened since. Stop stirring up shit and needlessly conflating things with previous drama.
Logan Parker
There just isn't enough new drama going on!
John Thomas
If anybody has any of the following books I'd be most grateful.
- The Art of Magic: The Gathering - The Rath Cycle - The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Zendikar - The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Innistrad - The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Kaladesh - The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Amonkhet - The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Ixalan

This. It's a model that works for Eclipse Phase.

Cheers user! Working on GMT here, so I miss a lot of stuff that goes up in the middle of the night. I'd honestly buy this stuff if I could, but I can't, so....,
Sebastian Smith
Anyone got Palladium stuff, esp. the Rifter? On general principle if nothing else.
Aaron Hernandez
Well now I must have it...
Christian Russell
You're a dumb cunt, and you're being a dumb cunt in Domino about it too.

Then go to another chan to request it. The one 3 doors up can help you where we can't.

To any creators lurking here: I get why piracy bugs you. I really do. But not everything that happens here is bad. I'm the guy who bought and donated Justice, Inc., and, more recently, the DC Universe JSA Sourcebook. I always post user because I ain't trying to get a rep or attaboys or any of that shit. When I buy and offer up games like that, it's because I want them to be preserved. I hate to see neat games lost to time and obscurity. I play Golden Heroes with my grade school aged nephews. They fucking love it. I'd buy that game in a heartbeat if it were available legitimately, but it's not. And Games Workshop is making no attempt to capitalize on that IP for the last 30 years. Sure, I could buy an overpriced used copy that benefits neither author not publisher, but why? I pirated it, then bought some of Simon Burley's other stuff (even though I don't use it) on drivethrurpg to remunerate him. I also refuse to pirate B/X Advanced because it's author is trying to raise money for his wife's medical expenses. I know it seems self-serving, but try to see that there are at least some instances where piracy isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure, maybe examples like these are the exception, but in my case I only play old games, so...
Adam Perez
You will never find those here, but for your 5th try at posting in this thread dig deeper and you can find them.
Angel Watson
I saw last week someone had posted the TSR minigames Saga and Revolt on Antares. They are not in the TSRTrove, could some kind user please post these again?
Ryder Foster
$NIP /Palladium Just upped an OCR of Rifter 76. That was a hard one to get right.. too many french and african names
Kevin Gutierrez
Mmm, that hasn't been my experience. Back when Mage was there and not really here maybe, but the sharers on there and here are pretty much the same, and they are just as worried about getting banned. I got them off IRC.
Samuel Sanchez
I was being sarcastic and just trying to get rid of the troll; I too used to visit 7 before the mods shut it down.
Gavin Rogers
Anyone can set up a room on vola. Please make one of your own, monitor the requests and post them. Win/Win, no?
Daniel Lewis
On the counter productive and elitist vola /r/h7hxaepr
Isaiah Edwards
I don't know why people think I'm trolling. I read and everyone was talking about how awesome this game was, then asked for it, then got yelled at because I can't understand why people feel like they have to protect a vola room. The whole reason we started using them was because they were disposable.
Colton Nguyen
That's the adventure starter, not the "DCC Quick Start Rules & two Adventures" pdf.
Lincoln Anderson
Looking for Aquelarre and Talislanta: The Savage Lands. Thanks!

Looking for Deliria by Phil Brucato, no traces of any pdfs around the net...

Has any of the Neverwhen products been liberated?
Nicholas Bennett
I am headed to work but the files are zipped on my phone. What vola should I upload them to?
OK, Nightlife.zip uploading now. Thanks for your patience, user.
Eli Ortiz
Angels, Daemons & Beings Between V2 for dcc?

>Aquelarre Is non-english ok?
Christian Jackson
I didn't know Battle Century G and Z was a no share. It's not on the list. What other no shares are not on the list?
Michael Nguyen
Ignorance is no excuse, asshole. Try paying attention to these threads instead of asking people to hand you everything you want. It's asses like you who fuck up the sharing be done here.
Lincoln Barnes
Personally I'm more interested in what makes something out-right "no share." Tome of enlargement and the like wouldn't stay up on any upload site for more than an hour, so that makes sense. Two-handed sword got the thread shit down, so that makes sense. PiGs ruin troves, so that makes sense The only reason user can't find what he's looking for is because he hasn't looked. Like, at all. Are we agreeing that anything DMCAd on a vola makes something no share? Or do we wait for the takedowns to become more aggressive? I don't want to be combative or contrary for the sake of it, but it's something I've wondered about since the blacklist became a regular part of the pasta. The list is small, but if one slap is all it takes, that list could get big quick.
It's like people have nothing better to do with their lives than to read every single comment in every single thread. Look in the mirror before calling people names. You might be surprised by what you see.
Leo Parker
>The only reason user can't find what he's looking for is because he hasn't looked.
That's the problem with assholes like , they don't bother to look AT ALL before skipping in and shitting up a thread with their requests. Then they make even more excuses for not having the time to look when we all know how quick and easy ctrl-f is. If the asshole in question had bothered to search this thread and the last they would have learned that the files they wanted were "no-share", but why should a snowflake make even that minimal effort?
You misunderstand my point, user. I'm struggling with the best way to word this, but, yes, he needs to employ ctrl f, just not in the threads necessarily.
Benjamin Martinez
Just ignore the lazy requesters. I was annoyed with someone requesting Conan 2d20 and lying about how he had searched the archives back then, the best response is to give them nothing.
Parker Jackson
Because why buy a copy from ebay, amazon or from someone who owns a copy and wants to sell it when we can pirate it Also doesn't make sense when you pirate newer published games and pdfs like Fantasy Flight Games or 5th Edition D&D, so your argument is moot.
Colton Ward
That's great - Thanks again user!

Is that system any good? Like, why play it as opposed to, say, WhiteWolf stuff? And if the system is better, have you ever used WoD fluff with it...?
Evan Hill
Why would you share something on the no share list
Juan Butler
Agreed.
But idiots are unavoidable in these threads. Telling them that they're idiots isn't gonna do shit without clearly informing them why they're idiots.
If a dude is clueless as fuck, just inform him of the rules.
Getting angry at anons who had no idea that they were being cunts isn't gonna make things better, even if it's completely justified. Just educate these morons.
Jose Sanders
Motherfucker, delete this post. It's on the no-share list.

Jose Hall
I wouldn't be opposed to looking at the Spanish version, but I can't read it lol
Jeremiah Nguyen
In theory, that should be fine. In this case, however, it's not like he wasn't informed of the rules. In fact, he specifically stated that he wanted it even more BECAUSE it was against the rules (). That's what pissed people off, he's not some poor schmuck that's just ignorant of the rules in this case.
Gavin Murphy
Just wanted to let you guys know I love y'all. For being a community on Veeky Forums, you're all incredibly nice, respectful and patient
Keep up the great work
Samuel Hill
Holy shit thank you and thank you whoever donated it!
Asher Adams
I can't believe how angry you guys are. I just wanted to point out that the list here no longer fucking reflects the no share list. What other games are not in that list so people will no longer request them? Conan 2D20 was mentioned so that's another one. What else then? Don't you want to expand the opening posts so that you no longer have to jump on idiots and vent your rage?
