Yeah it's a great resouce for any fantasy RPGer. They're planning to scan in their *entire* game line, including some of their odder games, like Gamma World, Star Frontiers, etc. Unfortunately, only around 25% of these products will be free - the rest will be available as an encrypted Electronic Software Download. Pay 3 bucks, get the key from WOTC, and voila, you own a copy on your harddrive.

Sigh. I wish Issaries would be able to do something like this with old Glorantha stuff.. not that spending hundreds of dollars on eBay hunting down RQ supplements isn't fun, mind you..
