It's Da Archive? !

It Will Be The Best 9 Hours Of Your Gaming Career!

STEP 1 Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. there is lots of stuff, including filled

requests directly posted to the board.

Files posted directly to 4chan are not added to Da Archive, so go grab them now.

STEP 2 Grab your Documents: Da Archive is multiple documents.

STEP 4 Get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is only about 180 pages long. If

you skim over the Personal Collections without looking you will miss 7,000 pdfs.

STEP 7 If you want MORE, the previous threads are all archived in here:



There are other 4chan archives somewhere as well.

7chan might also be able to help.

STEP 42

Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information

you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) - the more chances

someone might recognize it and upload it.

Step 45 Da Archivist Does Not Have An Opinion. He logs Garbage and Gold equally.

Please be respectful and don't belittle others' requests because you dislike the game. Imagine

the horrific RPGs I've run across; 'Dragon Dildo Warriors', ¡®Cheeto Fingered Gods of Angst¡¯, and

'We're All Little Girls (Frilly Dresses Are Mandatory At the Table)' spring to mind.

STEP 5 Please be patient with the Irrepressible Urchins? who request without looking first. They

are always a regular feature here. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at

something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although

that also bumps the thread.

You don't kick a puppy for not being housebroken. If they upset you, tell your monitor or your

teddy bear. Please don't tell us about it. I understand your frustration, they used to drive me

crazy. I would punch my teddy bear.

P.S. - Remember, We are Better than all of the rest of the horrible internet and Good Manners

ALWAYS gets more results. Wise up or please go elsewhere.

STEP Zillion Please post dead links and I will remove them to keep the archive up to date. Be

specific - Include a Page Number -, there are dozens of copies of some Pdfs.

STEP: the Next. If you have a fancy pdf that has unwanted clutter on it, here is one way to clean

it.

Contact our resident Transmutation Wizard and politely ask him to clean a pdf. He will set his

scrying device to accept pdfs and then you ship it to him. Magic occurs, then the pdf is purified.

By the way, Thanks Mageguru, you're the Best!

Please ONLY POST OPEN SOURCE PDFS DIRECTLY IN THIS THREAD. Link the others from

elsewhere. Excessive infractions could cause TPTB to remove the ability to post any pdfs at all.

Check for copyrights before you post anything directly.

Extra Special Thanks to the Anon Brigade who do ALL of the digging, loading, and posting.

STEP: 33 1/3 What Da Archive really needs at this point is a Deleter, a deadlink

bloodhound. Obfuscated links are slower to check, making reviewing 150 pages of 10

point type somewhat labor intensive. One way to do it is for Da Editor to make

themselves a personal copy of Da Archive with corrected hyperlinks.

This would not be a document for sharing, only to check links.

Periodically they would post a list of links to remove.

Da Archive is getting clunky to manage, due to size. I think shifting towards curated

troves is helping immensely.

(and my list for Santa)

Dungeon Planner 1 Caverns of the Dead

Dungeon Planner 2 Nightmare in BlackMarsh, both by Albie Fiore & Robert Neville

A Paraphrased Message From TheWiz!:

To guard against rapid takedowns by nasty little bots, we suggest encoding links thusly:

M3G4EnZee

/#F!GgZGlKAY!MRRUIHUqlPNXS58UTppRIQ!f1xFkT6D

The above link is easy to decode but does not show up as a working link to the T-888's

that lurk this ruined city with Plasma Rifles Primed. Even just adding spaces helps.

This becomes most important when filling requests. Posting a full link right out of a large

Trove/Collection risks the whole thing. Just post a page reference for Da Archive or Da

Annex, with a short instruction and let the document do the job of guarding the links.

NonAnon says: ¡°I only do 1 to 3 letters, usually A (@), S ($) and E (3), along with "." as

, it's not that hard to figure out.¡°

Anon Suggests ¡°Where to U.p.l.o.a.d.¡±

¡°S3ndsp@ce, which I prefer, U53rscl0ud or M3G4 for large collections. Protonmail is a free and

easy disposable anon email.¡±

¡°Mega is relatively safe, you would have to be an extremely flagrant repeat offender before

notice would be taken past anything other than a take-down.

I've never heard of an ISP getting involved unlike trackable torrents and that is mostly because

of Hollywood money. With Mega you get 50 gigs with each standard free account.

It has functions for uploading a whole folder at a time, including everything inside it. So you just

select like "A, B, and C" and it does the rest.¡±

Other sites used here recently include vztur1, $nipli, and An0nto.

Anon Says:

Do you want to help the archive? but you are too poor to buy pdfs or unable to fill requests?

Then start duplicating the collections here. Get yourself an upload account, save everything you

like and put it back online on your account. The more who do this, the easier these files will be

to find, and the safer they will be if a big collection gets taken down. Especially if you hear that a

file is rare when it gets uploaded. ¡°

Images posted should have a /tg/ theme.

Images of maps, castles, open source pdfs, character art and general gaming art are always

welcome. Please avoid reaching the 150 image cap too early.

Some Friendly Tips from RequestFiller:

Try removing things like "The" and "A" from the start Title and searching again. Try searching for

just one word from the Title after that.

Failing all of these, open up the Collections in the first section that state a large number of

folders but only list a small portion of them.

Next try searching things from the same core system. Looking for a rare Tri-Stat based game?

Look at a BESM trove or two.

Looking at troves for games that come from the same publisher works, too. Need you some Red

Tide or Spears of the Dawn? More than one Trove marked Stars Without Number will contain

those.

A quick CTRL-F in Da Archive should always be a step that precedes asking for help.

If you like a game you are welcome to tell us why you like it. Feel free to add links to

reviews, and such. We are here to learn about new games.

Give us your best elevator pitch.

The first 5 pages of Da Archive have the most of the older ¡®un -maintained¡¯ troves.

The best thing is to go through them all soon and get what pdfs interest you.

I think specific smaller curated troves are easier to maintain than huge Collections.

Check out Da Curated Archive to see what's in it.

Pick a game or small publisher you like that¡¯s not too big and complete it as best you can

easily.

Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken

down, put it up again later. Using indirect links seems to work for Mageguru.
