This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;975446That is true, and I think there should be a price difference to account for that, but my point is it isn't no cost. You can lose money setting PDFs too low because there is still substantial money on the pre-production end and PDF sales are still part of getting a return. Personally I am not a fan of setting PDF prices high, and I try to keep my own as reasonable as possible (even doing occasional loss leaders) but I do think fans sometimes get the wrong impression about PDFs and how they can't really escape from that  pre-production cost.

I think there will always be a certain bias that people have, saying that it's only a 'virtual product' and thus should cost way less than an actual physical book. The trick is getting into that 'Goldilocks' price zone with the pdf. Which is not that easy when you look at the inconsistency of pricing.
