Digital Grimoire Update
We’ve published a small update to the Digital Grimoire PDF; it just fixes a few minor typos and turns the black-background boxes into a lighter grey. If you’ve already bought Digital Grimoire, you can download a new copy from the service you bought it from, and if you haven’t, it’s not too late to check it out!

Grabbed it via a notice form Battleshop. Looks good, but I can read the white-on-black boxes from the original anyway.
Say, could this (fixing the white-on-black or white-on-blue texts) be done with the other PDFs as well? It’s a little hard to read the sidebars in the Quickstart Rules PDF. And the “Bad Moon Rising In The East” adventure too.

We’ll be doing it for a few other PDF-only projects, as time permits.

Do you need to own Street Magic for the Digital Grimoire to be useful?

There are some bits of Digital Grimoire that you can use without Street Magic: some spells, adept powers, and magical traditions.
And of course, Street Magic has “more more more!” of all three of those, too. So if that sort of thing interests you, you might want to check out Street Magic first. The progression really is: SR4 to Street Magic to Digital Grimoire.

That’s one nice little “add-on”. I like that.
I sure hope that we will see future additional material like this, if the time permits.
Especially, since i’ve begun to buy most books additionally as PDFs, as i can fit all of them onto a laptop or a pendrive, which really helps me hauling my whole roleplay library around for playsessions, without breaking my back several times over.
I’m very fond of the now-grey boxes, as this makes it more “printer-friendly” for your average home printer. That was definitely a good choice.
Reading it reminded me of the old add-on books, updating the world with new gear, spells and what-not. I was always a bit hesistant to buy something which, on one hand “only” added something to the game that wasn’t strictly needed, or which could have been home made.
The old books also nearly always felt a little “blown-up”, if you get what i mean. Since they where printed, you just had to fill a certain amount of pages, so that it was cost efficient.
That time is luckily gone, since PDFs are now widely accepted. I certaintly don’t mind to buy smaller amounts of quality additions for a fair price in an electronic format.
And you still have to fail me.
Continue your good work.

A big thanks for converting side boxes to grey background for pdf only releases!
