Under Arc Dream Publishing’s Free PDF Guarantee, and in conjunction with Bits and Mortar, anyone who buys a Wild Talents sourcebook in print can obtain the PDF free — now including the PDF of Wild Talents Essential Edition.
The PDF of Wild Talents Essential Edition comes free with the following Wild Talents sourcebooks, developed by Arc Dream Publishing and published into retail distribution by Cubicle 7 Entertainment:

Those PDFs, too, now come with Wild Talents Essential Edition.

ABOUT WILD TALENTS
Wild Talents is Arc Dream Publishing’s roleplaying game of superpowered suspense and drama. It features fast-playing rules for gritty, dangerous action; character development rules that build drama by focusing on conflicting motivations; incredibly flexible rules for developing any kind of superpower you want; and Kenneth Hite’s ingenious guidelines for creating new superheroic settings and new superheroic histories tailored to the kind of game you want to play.
Wild Talents is available in two formats: the stripped-down, black-and-white paperback Wild Talents Essential Edition, which includes all the rules for playing the game, and the full-color, hardback Wild Talents Second Edition, which adds Kenneth Hite’s guidelines for worldbuilding and an extensive alternate history of 20th century Earth. Both versions were developed by Arc Dream Publishing and are available to retail distribution from Cubicle 7 Entertainment.
