that wouldn't be a real problem (for me at least) simply because if the
individual things you need aren't in the PDF, you can find them and print
them before play.

hmmm...  what format?  HTML?

excellent idea!  i've started a list of species on my site here:

http://chromebob.com/species - with a little tweaking, i could re-organize
them to straight RQ3 instead of using my house rules...  contact me
off-list if you'd like copies of my monsters.

after that, the next step would be a Character Server that holds NPC / PC
character sheets in MySQL.  need a gang of broo?  print out broo #'s 3
thru 8.  play.  want to see what your character was like three games ago? 
pull his records from that time.

i'm actually working on this idea right now for my site.  the differences
in the base RQ3 system and my variant are subtle enough that we could
probably have characters defined as attributes and skills, then have the
webserver calculate the derived attributes as it serves the pages...

hmmm...

any other web-head programmer types interested in this: email me.  we'll
see what develops!
