Complimentary is certainly nice but I don't expect them, I'm willing to pay a small fee for one though. Green Ronin offers a pdf if you pre-order a book for an extra $5 it is I believe. I don't foresee ever playing 5E again let alone subscribing to D&DB so what WotC does in the future has no effect on me. It would have been nice if they offered 5E pdfs though. Id suspect that by the time 6E comes pdfs and D&DB will be replaced by more modern technologies.Whoever you are, if I buy a dead tree version of a book from you, I expect a complimentary PDF. If you don't offer that, I don't buy your book.
This reminds me of something. I remember around 2000 or 2001 WotC started selling pdfs. In an effort to expand their library of what they could offer they put out an open call asking people to send them their copies of D&D books with the caveat that they would be taken apart, scanned and would not be returned. LMAO, who would do that?Ditto. I've owned every book that I cared to, tore them apart, and scanned them into PDFs for my own use.

Heaps. That's where most of the classic DnD PDFs that are available are fromThis reminds me of something. I remember around 2000 or 2001 WotC started selling pdfs.

This was for their digital releases (PDFs) of older editions that are now available through DTRPG-DMsGuild. Did that really happen in 2000/1? It seems like it was more recent, but time keeps on slippin'...This reminds me of something. I remember around 2000 or 2001 WotC started selling pdfs.

what content did they remove?All my earlier books were on DnD beyond, but after they suddenly removed parts of older books that I owned without any way for me to access that content, I became very weary of using that service.
