[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8357140, member: 8461"] Old school fans of thieves rejoice! Wizards of the Coast has released two pay-for-download PDFs related to your favorite character class: the [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17458/Thiefs-Player-Pack-2e?affiliate_id=820'][I]Thief's Player Pack[/I][/URL] ($4.95) and the [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17416/Thiefs-Screen-2e?affiliate_id=820'][I]Thief's Screen[/I][/URL] ($4.95), both for AD&D 2nd Edition. The obligatory enthusiasm over new products being released aside, these two choices are a bit...odd. The [I]Thief's Player Pack[/I] was a plastic carrying case that, according to its [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thief%27s_Player_Pack']Wikipedia entry[/URL], contained "a pad of character sheets, a stand-up reference screen, a brief but informative player's guide, seven polyhedral dice, three pewter miniatures, and a shiny red pencil." I'm guessing that the PDF doesn't contain the dice, miniatures, or pencil. Or the carrying case, for that matter. Similarly, the [I]Thief's Screen[/I] is essentially a DM's screen, but for players. While the interior has charts and tables that are likely handy for someone playing a thief character, I suspect that the utility of preventing other players - or the DM - from seeing your dice rolls might be compromised somewhat by the PDF format, unless you're up for printing on some cardstock and then attaching the pages to each other.
