It seems so strange. I keep going out and finding new role playing games to obsess over, and it is always some obscure fringe game that few people are playing. QAGS had my attention long enough for me to buy a couple of the Sindbad books (which are really cool) and to download the Hobomancer preview. I could get no one to play. I backed the KS of Golden Sky Stories, and even my kids won't play it with me. I got a copy of Michtim and .... I got Legends of Steel Barbarians of Lemuria edition, and really tried to get that going but no takers.
All I have played are a few Pathfinder games I cannot afford to buy the book for (still fun, though) and a couple of games I downloaded free that did not last more than one session even though the guys I played with liked it. I'm blessed to get to play. Really I feel it so. I just kind of wish I could get things going a bit more. Oh, I almost forgot, I do have a game of Star Wars Edge of the Empire going on google hangouts, and a couple more hangout games waiting till my GM gets back from his honeymoon; one EotE and one Shadowrun 5e. Again, blessed.
I have a feeling things are about to ramp up.

Again, blessed. I have a feeling things are about to ramp up. And then there's even more stuff available at d20: www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/downloadsThe above are all free pdf's. Caution: Don't download these from 4shared. Every time I have used them I get either corrupted files or a virus. 2shared on the other hand seems to be a good source, so far. I run and 3.5/Pathfinder morph and being on a very small fixed income, I can't spend money on anything other than rent, utilities and food, so I have to find free sources for everything I can. My players provide me with cereal boxes and the like for my 3D builds and I print the free patterns for them at the library where I am allotted 80 print pages per week! Pretty sweet! It's doable, you just have to get creative. Hope this helps. Dungeon Mistress >Links edited< I understand fixed incomes, but please don't publicly post links to pirate sites. Likewise Paizo is not offering their rulebooks for free, but the pdf's are much cheaper than the hardcover rulebooks and are excellent purchases for their value. Thank you. ~Squirmydad

Thanks! I am already a fan of d20pfsrd.com and the other related sites. I am a big fan of anybody who is secure enough in their game products to the osl or other free to look at sites. I'm not as big a fan of d20 games as I might be, though, preferring my savage worlds stuff and other rules light approaches. Strangely for all that, I'm actually not a fan of Fate, though I thought I was sure to be. I guess I did not quite get the hang of it for some reason. I keep teetering on Qags, though. I have a slightly better situation than you, I reckon, to where I get a small gaming budget to mess around with. It is quite small, indeed, though so anything that stretches it is good.
Cardboard warriors for the win again!
I am also strictly unpiratical, Squirmydad.

OH! I deeply apologize, squirmydad, I did not realize that d29 was a pirate site. Lesson learned. I most humbly beg your forgiveness!

Already forgiven. D20 is a great, and non-piratical site. The 2shared uploads were what I cut out as those are items that Paizo is not giving away.

Ah... Gotcha! I wasn't aware of that. The only reason I like using 2shared over say 4share is because the downloads seem to work better from 2shared, as most of the downloads I have tried from 4shared have either not worked or have come with virus's. At least that's been my experience.
Thanks for the heads up, though. now that I know, I will be more selective about where I get my materials from.
