Re: [DL] [SHANE or JOHN] Deadlands on computer?



Hello to those I hold in highest regard,
   I was wondering if there is any chance we will see a cd-rom or dvd-rom with the Deadlands books on it...or even seperate cd-roms. as I plan to buy a laptop specifically for marshalling deadlands. and it would be so incredibly helpfull to have all those books at my fingertips when I needed to know something...plus that way my players wont know what coming up if they see me with the BoTD or RVC 1 or 2 out.  I know in all likely hood this is wishful thinking but it would be so great...and I would pay willing 20$ for one book on cd....or maybe 100 for the set
               Thank you for such a wonderful game.

Well, I'm not Shane or John, but I doubt you'll see anything like this from Pinnacle anytime soon.  The onyl reason TSR did it was most likely that they knew D&D3 will sort of make 2nd Edition obsolete, so people wouldn't be willing to buy loads of new books.  Think- how many people do YOU know who actually *bought* the Core Rules CDs?  That's the problem- burners.  Yeah, there's that clokspl.exe program that's on games like Age of Empires 2 and Worms: Armageddon, but there are ways around that, and once that's broken, that's a lot of money out of PEG's pocket.  White Wolf can do it because whatever edition they release the CDs for, the edition will be obsolete within a matter of months.  PEG is simply too small and not well-funded enough to be able to manage this.CDs and DVDs are simply not secure enough to do this.
