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.
What happened to the 19+1 trove? The only remaining images are in the first few folders, and the rest is empty. It was working just fine yesterday. Did the mega subscription of the owner run out or something?
Asher Hill
I have everything from there if you are looking for a particular item.
Tyler Allen
Does anyone have Dawn of Heresy for Mummy the Curse?
Noah Rodriguez
Looking for the Shard and Phaeron forcebooks for Vor the Malestrom. Google just turned up scams.
Does anyone have a complete pdf of Domains At War: Troops & Terrain? The ss link to a file in the archive has only 12 pages and is missing content. Its supposed to be 36 pages.
What tools do people use to clean/prep PDF's? I have some files I have that are just featureless pdf pages and I'm interested in making them up to date with fields and searchable text even if it's a huge pain in the ass.
Michael Edwards
thanks!
Gabriel Smith
I just uploaded some collections of adventures, mostly from Knockspell and Fight On! They're in Nergal's Vola.
Best Fight On and Knockspell Adventures These are the adventures that recieved good reviews.
Gabor Lux - Fomalhaut These are all of the materials for a Fomalhaut campaign, including adventures that stand alone if desired. It's great fantasy with bits of ancient sci-fi stuff mixed in.
Gabor Lux Non-FomalHaut These are Gabor's other adventures.
Jacob Gutierrez
Thanks user, these look like they may be pretty good stuff.
Mason Watson
Yup, I am sorry - checked all over my drive, I often have alt copies of things. No luck. Short search on net resulted in copies of same.
Found a 0-25 compilation in one PDF but had same issue.
If anyone finds it, please forward.
Gavin Nelson
Does anyone know where I can find Total Party Kill Handbook and Trap Compendium by 2CGaming?
Chase Walker
Thank you to Boot Hill user from the last thread, I am very grateful for the 1st edition.
Also thank you for becoming a Curator. There are not a whole lot of pure Western rpgs out there, they tend to have trouble competing with Elf chicks & fireballs. Most of them are smallish and might all fit on a Meg@ account. Maybe you might be willing to expand your curated archive. Anyway, thanks again for the Boot Hill Bonanza.
A good scan of BH3 Bullets and Ballots would be wonderful, I have had the unreadable copy for a very long time.
I can't for the life of me find a copy of Maze of the Blue Medusa. I've checked the OSR trove, the OSR addendum trove, and the misc trove to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction
Kevin Reed
Yeah I did a search and found nothing. Could just be bad at this though.
Adrian Martin
Old OSR trove: 02_supplements/01_Adventures/Maze of the Blue Medusa.pdf
Dylan Ward
same results in my searches too -of interest journal 2 included a pull out map of the City of Greyhawk which is also missing from the scans but was apparently adapted from this map here: melkot.com/locations/cogh/cogh.html thought you would be interested
They're REALLY good stuff. VERY good stuff. They're fantastic, actually. So much better than most actual books.
Bentley Cruz
What exactly are those? Are they magazines? Magazines for what?
Luke Ross
Thank you, idk how i missed it.
Tyler Stewart
Jovial Hades got toasted as I was accessing some Zenfolio art files.
B4UTRUST, I'm sorry - if ever you have a chance - please reup to another vola your Schley, Blando, SeanMcDonald cartographer files? If have other artist maps, that would also be appreciated.
Wonder what file nailed it. I thought my PC was acting up as I saw in background hundreds of files scroll by while I was merging new and old art files.
Ayden Stewart
Did nergals get killed again?
Jace Collins
Looking for Attack Vector: Tactical
Oliver Lee
New Nergal's is down, too.
Parker Davis
r/h7hy1gq4 still up
Evan Barnes
>nice quality, small package That's not the new nergal's.
Camden Wood
Old Nergal's killed like Older Nergal's.
Glad to see it's reincarnated again.
Jaxson Parker
That is not the content that was on Nergals vola an hour or so ago.
Lucas Adams
Saw this was not in the Hero trove, not sure where it came from but...
Adventurers Club

Tyler Cooper
Can we get a reup somewhere?
Luke Rodriguez
issue 08
Colton Richardson
Perhaps this is of interest to someone.
I found some Traveller fanzines that aren't in the curated magazine trove. Most of the links on the page are still functioning, some early and current 'zines. ht t p s : / / stellarreaches.wordpress . c o m /other-fanzines/
You can always send stuff to the curator, he has a drop box.
Dylan Scott
No one said you had to use this free service. You are certainly welcome to avoid all this cipher shit...
(now? as opposed to when?)
Sebastian Johnson
I will send the couple I got, thanks. I don't have many, they are in archives mostly on older websites. The link has 7 or 8 different 'zines.
Connor Phillips
Got the DW mags but missed the Dr. Who stuff. Bummer.
This too shall pass.
Robert Price
no new nergals got taken down I guess? Cant access it. this is something I setup last wek or so when nergals got taken down then. just a back up vola
Caleb Wood
The Traveller archive already has every Stellar Reaches issue from #1 to #26. That being said, the way archives and troves get spiked routinely, having those issues hosted somewhere else is a very good idea.
Carter Cruz
These are different fanzines - Jumpspace, Third Imperium, and others. The page of links is on a Stellar Reaches site.
Andrew Clark
Does becoming a patron on Patreon charge your card immediately? I just want to pledge, copy the unreleased articles for ACKS, and unpledge immediately after.
Adam Johnson
I believe they've cracked down on doing that sort of thing. There was a big furor about it like a year ago.
Hunter Hughes
Ah well, it's just a buck a month anyway. I'll bite. If I can find a way to share the articles here, I will.
Joshua Hall
Any chance anyone has the C20 ready made characters or the Endless Ages Anthology to complete my 20th anniversary collection?
Thomas Parker
Anyone have Red Markets?
Luis Adams
Check out the Traveller Archive. It's curator uploaded a shit ton of fanzines earlier in the month. Still, having them hosted somewhere else is a good thing.
Owen Reyes
>On the Shoulders of Giants (LoFP) >In my vola This one went down, anyone care to re-up?
Isaac Gonzalez
Do we know what killed Nergal's? While I want to fulfill some of the requests for recent Nergal's uploads, I don't want to kill another room doing it.
I'd be upset too if someone snatched back the money they paid for my goods.
