It seems that we need a thread to state that the RPGNow + DTRPG = OBS merger does not mean that every vendor is going to raise their prices. Some vendors will, they honestly have to. They are the sort of vendors who struggle to provide the best mix of quality and value in their products, and they absolutely should be commended and supported for this. Other vendors will not, and will be able to absorb any higher vendor rates through increased efficiency, accepting a lower profit, or by various other means. For that matter, for some, their vendor rate will not be changing at all.
Dire Press counts itself among the latter. We are fortunate that our vendor rate will not be changing, and we have no intention of increasing our pricing. We recognize that this makes our decision to support OBS and its efforts to build and improve the market trivially easy. We are encouraged by other vendors who have made the same choice despite a more difficult situation, and like to think that we would support OBS regardless. Because we do love the game, and have faith in the people on both sides of the screen.
