This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What "rare" or hard-to-find book/books have you been searching for?

I'd love to get ahold of some of the Planescape stuff I lost in a move

I actually managed to score the hated Champions New Millennium line a few years ago.

PDFs are not the same.

Yep, some of us just prefer dead trees.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

PDFs are fine. But since I lack a printer so PDFs are kinda useless away from the comp.

Still hunting for two Aaron Allston books - Lands of Mystery and Autoduel Champions...prices are ridiculous for the former, and the latter is hard to find with the original cardstock insert.

I believe there was a total of three books, the Core, Bay City and Alliances, before Cybergames got their hands on them and tried to clumsily mesh them all into a single, smaller book.

Tablets are extra chep nowadays and even relatively "weak" one will be enough to read PDFs...

...unless they come from Paizo and/or FFG.

I'm pretty sure I still have my copy. I'll hunt around.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

The Gazetteer series for the classic D&D line. Karameikos, Alfheim, Glantri etc. A few years ago I had the opportunity to buy them all in mint condition, dirt cheap, from the leftovers of a very old gaming store that closed in the 80's. I will probably never stop kicking myself over taking too long time to decide on the deal and the books went to other people. Too expensive for me to collects them now. They are available through D&D Classics. But for me pdf means zero except printing out maps, handout&stuff.

Same here.  I'm not going to deny the sheer utility and ease of transport of a PDF library - I can't tell you how many times I've been flipping through a hardcopy trying to find a specific passage, or wish I had Book X with me instead of Book Y - but flipping through a PDF just isn't as satisfying to me.  If I can get both for one price, great, otherwise I'm going for the printed version.
