I cannot open the PDF file I downloaded.  I have a nexus7, and all three of my potential PDF readers claim it is not a valid PDF.  I have the same problem with V4 of the world atlas.......

It's opening on all three apps here on my Samsung tablet (Kingsoft Office, Polaris Viewer, and Kindle). Kingsoft and Polaris aren't totally happy with displaying the art correctly (but these are the free versions of the apps); the Kindle app seems happy with text and art.

Best wishes,

Kingsoft, Adobe PDF Viewer, and Office Viewer.

Interestingly enough, if I download them to my computer they work fine.  then i email them and get them on my tablet, they work fine.  Except World Atlas 4, it is too big to email.

So somewhere in the download process for my Nexus, the PDF is getting damaged

Just to weigh in, I exported the file to PDF the same way as with previous books, and it is compatible all the way back to Acrobat 6.

 You may need to update your PDF viewer to make sure it is the newest version also you might have to re-send it to yourself in case of damaged files.

Confused.  RPG Now lists Emer III, but I and II are nowhere to be found.  What's up with that?

Are you after error-spotting for the book? If so, on the Table of Contents section 6.0 Inhabitant is written with a small "i"

There are some similar errors in the bookmarks too.

Nice book so far.

Yes absolutely, thanks. I'll start a thread.

I added a little poll at the top. Just wondering...

I couldn't wait, so I got the pdf right away, even though I'd love to have a book.

Emer III is at the top of the charts on RPG Now and just became a popular Copper pick! Can we make Silver?

Remember, the discount is only until 2/22, and when we update the PDF and release the hardcopy editions, you will be able to download the updated PDF free! And don't forget to review!

I'm working to get the Emer I and II revisions out as soon as possible. They had to be imported, completely reformatted, color added, and a lot of new art done.

I'm a little disappointed in my SW fans... is there some reason you are holding off on buying Emer III? This is a massive tome, with so much new information about SW. Even if you buy it now, you will be able to get the errata corrected version free. And, you can participate in the errata process! So, get out there and buy it! Make Terry happy.  :D

Sorry Terry, I do not buy game books anymore.  Not after selling off the room full of them I use to clutter my home with (I have a single laundry basket full of books now).  It took an act of courage just to do that.  There is no going back.

I do sometimes stop at the local hobby shop (Riders and Cobblestone).  Some years ago I got rid of all credit cards, even my debit/credit card.  I only deal in cash, which makes online purchases near impossible.  At those hobby stores, there are no SW or RM books. Besides, the 90's were the heyday of my gaming and there was never enough material released to keep up with my world and play.  My SW is three centuries past your timeline and into the early years of the 4th Era.  It is also quite dead, as the campaign, after running from 1988 to 2004, is over.

My old materials are now mostly in the hands of my 14 year old niece and she is inspired more by the TV show Supernatural than the SW books.  I will keep trying to inspire her though.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

I am simply waiting for the printed version as I find PDFs awkward to deal with during gaming time. I'm sorry sales are not what you expected, Terry, you deserve lots more for all your hard work. However, the release is still very recent so I have faith the numbers will rise soon. :)
