Dramatic SFB: how do you get electronic versions of the rule books?

[Don Lavanty]

I have just been on drivethruRPG so long for other game systems mostly
RPG's. It has support for more systems, publishers & 3rd party publishers.
its a nice place to have all your downloads (for me) in one place vs guess
which store do I have the digital files. Drivethrurpg also has a nice
downloader program that keeps all your files up to date incase it changes.
Obviously this isn't an issue with SFB for the most part. The downloader
isn't perfect though it wants to keep all the files in one place vs
organized via game system etc. WH23 is also very limited on the systems &
publishers it has which of course isn't a problem if all you want is SFB.
also there is wargaming vault which is part of DrivethruRPG as a sister
site it mostly is for wargames and ADB is easy to find.

all the sites work fine for SFB
