I have the same beef, but I've noticed that in Windows if you hover your pointer over a pdf, it will give you more complete info...though sometimes nonsensical as e.g. Brothers By My Side comes up with a title about the Iraq crisis.

What I've done is set up Firefox to request a location for each download; this gives me a chance to edit the name and/or create an enclosing directory with a descriptive name.

Exactly.

My 2 cents on publishers that participated: I offered the most recent pdf in the Behind the Spells series in an effort to rope (er, I mean entice) consumers into collecting more/all of the others.  That was my motivation for getting involved.  After all, we all know there are people out there who, once they have and enjoy one item in a series, simply must collect 'em all!  

I just finished downloading everything I wanted for this week and I want to give my thanks to everyone who did this (especially for those publishers I actually downloaded from).  

In fact, I have thinking about participating in the next giveaway of that type once I get a couple more supplements done.  

Anyway, I have lots of new reading material to look over...

 I do too but I wouldn't have to if they had decent names.

Quote from: Elliot WilenOne must-get, plus a bunch of might-as-wells.

Depths of Ruin: a D&D adventure, sounds like it has some sort of location-based material (i.e., dungeon-y).

Gunslingers and Gamblers: Wild West.

FSpace RPG Reference Manual: SciFi; looks (unintentionally?) old-school/gonzo.

Grunt Fantasy Miniatures Battles: from Guild of Blades, but actually looks original may not be bad. OTOH, the one rating at BoardGameGeek is a 2/10. Eh, it costs nothing to see for myself.

Conan RPG Pocket Edition: the star of the group, that rarity, a d20/OGL game that sounds like it could be right up my alley.

Dice & Glory Core: probably not as generic as it makes itself out to be, but it has a gonzo vibe, and that's good.

Open Core Quick: looks like one of those streamlined generic thingies.

Dammit!! I missed the Thrusday downloads! And they had some good stuff. All of Eliot's pics here look interesting, and I so wanted to chekc out that Conan RPG.

On the whole free PDF issue,Ijust wanted to weigh in that for me, using a PDF for actual gaming is a huge pain, so I wouldn't really consider buying a PDF unless it was a very short game or a gaming aid-tipe product that I could print as I needed. I'm using this giveaway to check out a bunch of new material that I'd never otherwise be able to really sample, and if there are some gems, I'll want to buy the Print version if available.

Peace,

When the option on what folder to download the file into comes up, I usually rename them before they are downloaded.

Quote from: Elliot WilenMundi Animalia: "A comprehensive system that lets you play anything from an ant to an elephant." I'll bite. Also, apparently based on a system that was used for a Flatland RPG, an idea I was musing about a while ago. So if i like the system, maybe I'll pick up Flatland.

From a quick skim, this game is a huge disappointment.  I've been toying with the animals as PCs concept for some time for a setting idea I have in mind, so I was really interested to see how they handled it.  I'll probably post more when I get a chance to read it more thoroughly, but at first glance I would be annoyed if I had paid the $10 for it.  Anyone else have any thoughts on this game?  (can start a new thread if necessary)
