So why don't we have the Ultimate /tg/ PDF Torrent and instead

because things that are most convenient for you personally are rarely so for groups of people

you can go away now OP

I'm just saying, there are more convenient content delivery systems than browsing in the thread, waiting for something interesting to appear.

For example, I have a /tg/ trove 70 gigs worth of .pdfs. I've read through about a half of them and I can give my opinion on whether said book is essential for understanding the system or the source subject or not. Why not let people who frequent /tg/ to express their opinion on what they think is an essential read? Hell, boards like /a/, /tv/, /lit/ - they all have at least some variation of the "recommended reading list". I think that combining such list with the actual torrent download would serve well in educating people on the subject of /tg/-games.

I mean, if no one does it I guess I'll do it on my own eventually and create a dedicated torrent myself to share with everyone, but it would be nice if there was a community around it and not just a single guy like me saying "hurr durr, this is the things I like and this is the things I don't like".

The convenience of the pdf share is that you don't have to download a torrent. Most people only want a few things rather than being hoarders. Many of them don't even know what those few things are until they ask. They're not going to do the research themselves.

If you are going to organize some sort of torrent you should ask around in the pdf thread. Main issue there is constantly updating it, and that not many people will use it.

The recommended reading section of material for tg is more diffuse because of the variety of games. Larger more established games have generals that tend to have them linked at the beginning of each thread. People who aren't interested in those games don't go there and don't want to download them.

You're basically asking why there isn't a thing most people don't want. Hoarders specifically might but trying to organize a bunch of that would be at best an exercise in mashing together autisms until you lose your shit.

I suppose you're right. I'm just looking for feedback whether people want it.

The problem still exists, though. If there are people that are still trying to homebrew shit for 3.5 to run their setting of choice despite the existence of better suited systems, clearly something is going wrong.

And even if there is no need for actual system rulebooks to be shared as a trove, there is often need for worldbuilding literature, from things like medieval fashion and importance of things like salt and spices to things like general firearms information and basics of sailing and such.

Eh. Nevermind.
Besides, I already have a bunch of cloud sharing trove links that I use every time I need specific information, even if in my opinion it would be more convenient to create a user-supported torrent.

I'll probably just raise a server for everyone to download the shit they need instead.

>Why haven't I, the OP of this thread, done this thing yet?

That's a good question, OP. When are you going to stop being lazy and do that thing you said would be good to have done?

>All these people complaining about having to download a torrent
Magnet links, son. Also you can just download the files you want from a torrent if it's laid out properly. You'll probably want to set up a seedbox for this though.

i dont want torrents, i want DDL

I at least don't want torrents as the copyright holders could easily get them too, and then everybody that uses it can be locked.

You don't want to put the entire board's resources in one place. That's what killed /x/.

What version of A Clash of Kings should I download given the newer ones are shit? When was it at its best?
