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.
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.
All four in negal's vola, with an art-free/different format of Special Edition.

Added Tome of Madness to Nergal's vola this morning, Feasting at Lanterngeist is part of Gothic Campaign Compendium, and I have Midgard Worldbook but only my unclean version, somebody else could upload clean one (it's been around). I haven't seen others.
Looking for the last couple of PDFs never liberated for Deadlands Reloaded:
- Messico e Nuvole (a italian language only supplement never released in english) - Doomtown: Deadlands RPG Conversion (a collection of characters, creatures and relics from the Doomtown card game converted to Deadlands Reloaded)
These might be a bit difficult to find since they're a little more niche than usual, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Anybody got them and is willing to share?

Double checked every link, to be sure, but they're all scans.
I'm looking for the recently launched OEFs. Bestiary was apparently uploaded to a vola a few threads ago...
Thanks anyway!
Brandon Ramirez
Dungeon Fantasy Companion by SJG for Dungeon Fantasy is what I am looking for. TIA
Lincoln Powell
Failing that, if anyone has the Traps or Magic Items stretch goals PDFs for Dungeon Fantasy, that would work too, as the Companion is just those two PDFs and the Rat Men PDF, which has been shared.
TIA
Jackson Price
Not sure if you checked Da Curated Archive, but there is a /GURPSClassic. his missing list says he prefers OEFs, but nothing has been uploaded since last year. Sorry I can't help you more, but if you find it, maybe consider sending it to him (his email is in the aforementioned list) or putting it somewhere he can grab it later for the trove? Best of luck.
Isaiah Stewart
/GURPSClassic barely has anything in it
Isaiah Butler
Anyone got the Dan Coleman's Maps? Dont need the adventurers, would just like the maps.
Justin Cox
Where was the last place Dan had them? They are probably there
Leo Hughes
Could have sworn Dan Coleman was the guy who asked us not to share his stuff and so Mage removed them all from the trove
Ian Wright
Oh, that's me, actually... It started as an OEFs collection, but I'll expand it to everything GURPS Classic.
I'm adding Horror and Biotech OEFs right now, and will upload the e23 scans I have right after that.
I'm trying! If you have anything from e23 to help build the collection, please email me! Thanks!
Matthew Jackson
Anyone willing to share Shangri La: A Post-Collapse Los Angeles background and sourcebook?
This might be stupid, but how do I access the sites in the curated trove? $nip li doesn't mean anything to me, and when I go to that website URL title I don't get anything...
It is also explained in the 3rd post in this thread.

Ah. A shame. Thanks though.

It is because what you're asking is explained in the 3rd post of this thread and every other PDF Share Thread.
Learn. To. Read.

I think it's really funny that so many people coming into this thread to ask for rulebooks to read seem utterly incapable of actually reading or processing written information.
Joshua Carter
There's a working link the curated archive if you're actually looking for it and not just being helpful by posting dead links to keep the archive up to date.
Jackson Scott
is the one on Nergals the one you want?
Dylan Bennett
Bit of both, thanks I'll check the curated archive
Tyler Robinson
user, I agree with your sentiment. I also say that the little urchins won't read the wall of text that is now five posts long.
God bless Deux Archivist and his hopefully non-deceased predecessor but it's just too long, written in too purple prose in too chatty a manner. It still fails to point out, since a lot of Veeky Forums users don't appear to know this, that the bright red cover of Science Wonder Stories is a pdf not an image. I don't care that the file name ends in PDF not JPG or PNG, it's not at all obvious.
The lead posts needs to be simple, clear, concise. Because you and I know most new users this thread are just going to see PDF Share Thread on page 1, then hit reply and that's it.
The first post needs to be attention grabbing -- pic related, kinda sorry if I got anyone's attention if you wouldn't have read otherwise and you're bored but kinda not sorry because that proves my point -- something like >how to use PDF share thread and then short with very simple, very clear steps, and maybe include a contents page to the next posts. I think I'll work on a mock up sometime.
I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point, but it does kind of tell you that they aren't just JPGs
>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.
This is a bit wordy, but it tells you what you need to know. Not trying to argue or debate. Just a hat in the ring.
Kevin Howard
This is still long and leads to a wall of text but I think it would be more practical than the current first post.

Welcome to the PDF Share Thread
This post is a short overview of how to use this thread most effectively. Read it and you'll probably find what you want faster than asking.
PDFS WE WON'T SHARE If you ask for any of these you'll meet with no success. The next post - Read it! - tells you what they are and why they aren't shared.
HOW TO SEARCH DA ARCHIVE The "images" in the next few posts of Princess Leia or a 1930s sci-fi mag are NOT images, they are PDFs. They contain thousands of links to files.
Click on the "image" and your web browser will open the PDF. Use Ctrl-F or Cmd-F to search for text.
Don't be too precise. Don't search for the adventure "Ultra Space Warriors 3rd Edition: Journey to Circe's Nether Regions". Search for "Ultra" or "Space" or "Warriors", just use one word in case there's a typo. All it takes is a few clicks on the next button. That's faster than posting here and waiting for a reply.
HOW TO OPEN OBSCURED LINKS and HOW TO OPEN VOLAS Most links in this thread or in Da Archive documents are obscured. Since you have already opened them all up, go to the first page after the cover and there are instuctions on how to de-obscure links.
WHEN TO POST Please only post a thread saying you're looking for something after you have searched the archive documents. If they're in the archive often the only reply you will get is >it's in da archive though it won't always be that helpful.
PREVIOUS THREAD Previous thread Not everything posted in these threads is added to the archive. Somtimes you can find links to these non-archived files in the older threads.
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.

Every post with a PDF should also say: >The image next to this post is a PDF. Click it to open it.
Super Mission Force is a new superhero game by the author of 3d6 Supers. Does anyone have it please?
Joshua Young
>but it does kind of tell you Yeah, agreed, but we're dealing with lazyfags and stupidfags and "kind of tell you" isn't clear enough for them.

Does anyone have a link for Hero Designer? The link in the pdf is dead.
