This is an archive of actively maintained links to RPG Troves.
Each one is a single game, theme, or publisher and strives to be complete. - - -
PLEASE BUY A COPY OF THE BOOKS THAT YOU USE. ------
If you wanted to help, you could join the Anon Brigade by becoming a Curator and/or by finding stray pdfs for other Curators.
Pick a game or small publisher you like that’s not too big and complete it as best you can easily.
Really prolific games can be divided into components; by edition, setting, publisher etc.
Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken down, put it up again later. Using indirect links like $nip li or pasteb!n has a real advantage in that this document will tend to stay valid without constant editing.
I found this big honking list of rpgs, that probably means everyone else has known about it for ages. It stopped in 2007, it has descriptions and stuff. http://www.darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ This one started in 2008 http://www.thefreerpgblog.com/ - - -
Sorry for the incomplete links and funny L33t spelling of upload site names
ss, @SS or $$ is Send Spaace, m3g@ is Megaa,
There is a u$ercl0ud and a u$er$cl0ud, be careful to go to the correct one.
Add the hypertext protocol colon stuff to the front then the upload site spelled correctly, then add the final gibberish to build a complete link. - - -

Contains Hero Games 1st-6th Edition and Mutants & Masterminds 1st-3rd Edition. What is really special? Champions 4th Edition - Complete The books have been completely redone from the official bundle, which were really done terribly. All the covers have been digitally cleaned up, issues with visually broken header text bubbles fixed, Scan edges removed, Blacks have been darkened to increase readability, Bookmarks added, and completely new OCR was done. Dare to compare them to the previews at RPGNow. - Mageguru
