Hey, I’m not sure if it’s allowed to ask for help on hunting for specific files but this doubles up as a question about the best place to get books.
I’ve been looking far and wide for the renegade game studio’s Transformers rulebooks and managed to find the core rulebook from some weird site but not from any of the book or torrent sites. But I’m still missing the accompanying books like the campaigns and the expanded character sheet journal. Could anyone smarter or more resourceful help me with this hopeless quest?
And also the last time I pirated books was so long ago that people were offering them on their own websites basically, what is the best place to find books nowadays? And is there a way to submit the rulebook file I found to book piracy site like library genesis? In case someone else comes looking for it as well.
Anna’s Archive is always the first place I check
AA working hard to keep quality content. Throw a few $$ their way to keep it going!
Library Genesis is the first place to check:
The Trove was a site where you could get a shitload of ttrpg content. But it got dmca’d and now only exists (afaik) as a torrent file.
For TTRPGs you can use:

Or this Telegram Group: https://t.me/TheAmberRoom
Wild, MAM usually has most things but as far as this game is concerned it only has A Beacon of Hope. It must actually be pretty obscure to not exist fully there.
If I’m googling correctly this is a private tracker? I don’t think I’m able to get into many with my current setup but I’ll try to go and see. Even one book would be forward in this project and they really seem to not be popular to share. (Makes one wonder how many people even purchased them lol, the game is not very good or coherent but I want to homebrew it into something that works and also have the files for the sake of completionism)
Yes, MyAnonymouse is a private tracker for books and audiobooks. It’s probably one of the best private trackers for these things, though there might be a better one specifically for game-related books, I’m not sure.
MAM has occasional public applications, but you will be expected to share what you take.
IRC is where I get most of mine. IRC highway and evooks

Other than Anna’s, you might also try various aggregator Telegram groups. For instance: Book Box (https://t.me/webwaybooks) and The Amber Room (https://t.me/TheAmberRoom)
Do you know any similar group in telegram?
Sorry, what?
Do you any groups that is for piracy in telegram?
IIRC, there are literally thousands.
Also there is an IRC spot, there is a guide around I can’t remember where
Did you mean the IRC Guide?
Also of note is that open books client mentioned in comments. Excellent software!
Yes that’s the one
Let us know if you are successful.
There do exist very very nice private trackers with robust communities.
There are a lot around, just do a search and you should find some!
I found one before and it didn’t have what I needed and also so many rules that a casual pirate like me felt overwhelmed when I’m not able to leave my computer open to share around the clock. But maybe I’ll need to look further into it
I use pdfdrive because I don’t really know any other sites. Also I downloaded Brzrkr comics from 1337x(dot)to.
This was the method that helped me find obscure stuff throughout the years.
It’s also here in our new piracy community
I came here to comment this. It feels really esoteric but great selection!
And for French ebooks what’d the best places ?
