Our Brick & Mortar PDF Guarantee
If you buy a physical book of ours from a real, brick & mortar store at full price, we’ll give you the PDF. Period.
It’s as simple as that. We want to support local gaming stores the best we can, and we don’t want our fans to feel they have to choose between loving us (by buying a Print+PDF bundle at IPR) or loving their local game store. Why not get both?
With the Evil Hat Retailer PDF Guarantee, you don’t have to choose! But we WILL need you to confirm that you’ve purchased the book. Drop us a line (or have your FLGS do it!) at feedback AT evilhat DOT com and show us your proof of purchase. Scanned purchase receipts are the best way to do this, but we’ll take the word of your FLGS as equivalent. And while you’re at it, tell us where you bought the book, and make sure they know that the Evil Hat Retailer PDF Guarantee sealed the deal!
We are also a part of the Bits & Mortar publisher coalition. Head on over to that site and find out who else offers free PDFs together with the books you buy from your FLGS!


can u get the dresden books on cd to download onto a computer ?
No, but you can buy them in electronic format and just download them directly from the purchasing website.
Probably a silly question, but what about if you got the physical book from another online bookstore? (In this case BargainBookStores.com)? I assume in this case you are out of luck, and would need to purchase the PDF separately, but I figured it can’t hurt to ask
.
Technically it depends on how much of a discount you got it at (we’re trying to support brick & mortar stores that can’t afford to do the competitively harmful deep discounting).
Awesome!
This is the best. This is what all games should do! This is the best.
This is awesome. I wish this had been in place when I picked up my Dresden Files books. I will keep it in mind for when I pick up my copy of Fate Core though.
It was in place. We’ve been doing this since 2006. Take advantage of it!
Is the Fate Core book available as a PDF? If so, where can I buy it?
Has not been released yet. Should be by July. Once it is, the PDF will be “pay what you like”, including free.
