Dead Reign books on DriveThruRPG

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

I'm not sure, but if you follow Palladium's track record on DriveThruRPG, you may be pleasantly surprised. :wink: Of course that's just speculation. Either way, I'm definitely putting the series on my purchase schedule in the future, even though I have paperback copies of everything there - it would be good to have digital backups that are professionally made. Please take care; thanks a bunch, and have a good night.

Clicking on the Full-Size Preview will give you an idea what they look like.

Trust me, Full-Size Preview is your friend. :-) It usually gives you the first six or so pages, though it may include things like copyright pages, tables of contents, etc. Usually there's only one or two pages of actual material, but it will give you a good idea of what it will look like. And even then, it will most often take the form of a .pdf document, so if you load it in Adobe, you can go to the bulleted list on the left and possibly see things that the table of contents won't say. Perhaps a last resort in some cases would be to reference the free Sneak Previews provided by Palladium; they give you a sample of everything. However, since they are separately published documents, they may be of different condition. But anyway, please take care; thanks a bunch, and have a good weekend.

I'm not filled with confidence by all the answers telling me to just go see for myself, but you've all made your point and I thank you for your input.

I can tell you they look nice or you can see for yourself how they look. If the full files look like the previews then they are fine.

Lots of people in the group were saying it, it was the common consensus. *Shrugs.*

Recently, I bought all the sourcebooks for Dead Reign on sale (Though not the Rulebook, as my digital copies are for backups only, and it wasn't counted with the sale for some weird reason...), and they were around 30% off. It was for a undead-themed sale, and I also scored the two books about vampires for Rifts. But enough about that, it is unfortunate that the sale's over, but if I know DriveThruRPG as well as I think I do the next big sale will possibly cover Palladium products as well, and that means that it is likely that it's going to be open season on discounted Dead Reign products (GM's Day on around March 4th is a big one, and will likely be the next big sale, according to my experience with DriveThruRPG.). As for reviewing the products I did buy... they are of excellent quality, and for those who do their gaming digitally they are searchable for those who want to one-up their GMs by proliferation of rule-checking. :wink: Even so, it's really nice to see that the pages are oriented correctly and easily readable, and the visuals are chilling to say the least, given that I have a nice monitor, and around half of them are of the Creeping Death. :shock: Concluding with that, please take care; thanks a bunch, and have a Happy New Year!

It looks like it's classed under 'other' http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/ ... 5198/Other

How many books does a system need before it gets its own header?
