I'd far rather pay some money and get a printed book than download a free PDF. Something psychological is going on there.<br /><br />Tim - I like Al's stuff quite a bit, too.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381628150285913370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604868917713400880.post-84984247858182312762011-01-16T13:48:11.699-05:002011-01-16T13:48:11.699-05:00One of my favorite free stuff guys is Al, over at ...One of my favorite free stuff guys is Al, over at Beyond the Black Gate.

The One Page Dungeon entries are frequently of good quality. The OD&D mateirals at The Grey Elf's Lair are amazingly well done. Beyond the Black Gate's two annual compilations are nice. The stuff I've looked at at Dragonsfoot are generally pretty good too.<br /><br />Your bias that free=lower quality or less valuable is pretty widespread though. When my wife worked for a non-profit providing free, need-based legal services to people, she found many of them to have a very low regard for what they got, even though she worked just as hard, if not harder, for them than she did paying clients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604868917713400880.post-34102965662196636112011-01-16T12:02:18.453-05:002011-01-16T12:02:18.453-05:00I can see what you're saying vis a vis free st...I can see what you're saying vis a vis free stuff, though there are a fair number of grumbles in the blogosphere about people being mostly concerned with selling a product.
