Physical copies are my go-to’s for these types of books, but PDF’s remain handy as a backup in case something happens to my physical copies (i.e. water damage, left them somewhere, etc) and/or for printing off a copy of a page to make my own notes on so I’m not writing in my book. That’s why my preference is, wherever possible, to have the same version of a physical book in an electronic copy.
I also saw on the Burning Con thread ( Burning Con 2023 ) that there would be Burning Wheel games running using all editions (which I assumed to mean BW, BWR, BWG, and BWGR) and that made me wonder if those versions were still available, at least digitally.
Not a huge deal if the previous versions are not available in PDF – just thought I’d ask. Thanks for getting back with me.
