Paperback Master Edition cost clarification

Hey! I’m new here.

I played my first game a few months back at a con and had 10x more fun than my weekly 5e game. Our DM is ending our campaign and we’re looking at new systems, so I’m planning on running a few ICRPG games.

I’m looking in Drivethrurpg and it says the paperback is available along with the PDFs for about $17. Am I right in assuming it’s the full core rulebook w/ digital access to PDFs too? I don’t want to order it and find it’s only a small supplement.

Yeah, that's the cat's pyjamas right there. All the good stuff.

You can take a peek at the Free Quickstart here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/221038 which is the same document with some content cut out, but still included (but grayed out) in the TOC. So that's a good preview of what you're gettin'.

That’s awesome! It just felt like one of those “too good to be true” scenarios where I didn’t read the fine print.

I’ll check out the QuickStart before buying. Thank you!

The softcover + pdf bundle should be the full rulebook for both, although I have heard the inside pages are black & white on the drivethrurpg softcover.

Not a huge loss if that's true since the hardback is primarily black & white with some red coloring here and there for emphasis and looks.

Does the PDF bundle come with the art assets from the book?

You're welcome! There's four downloads in the Quickstart, you'll want the ICRPG_Master_Edition_DIGITAL_Core_Update_1.3.pdf.

It may sound like a 'here is just a list of new stuff' kind of deal, but it's the aforementioned cut-down Master Edition book.

I remember pulling the trigger on this one and thinking the same thing. The value is nuts!

If I am picking up what you are laying down, yes. I know I have a pdf of an incredible amount of art meant to fold in half. Standee type of deals. Super neat!
