    Then why would Malhavoc choose to employ it? They have admited DRM does nothing, but they still use it. It must be forced, which makes me think that DTRPG somehow makes money by forcing it. Possibly a commision from Adobe? And that "be sure they can handle additional publishers" is a load of...

    So are you ready to tell me that taking a pdf (a pdf fully ready for the printer), slapping on the unpopular and worthless DRM, and putting it on a page is so "service intensive" that they can only service 'print' publishers? Take away the DRM step and you have RPGNow. Are any of the OOP...

    Why are you avoiding these questions, Wieck? Please do. You can start by answering these questions: How many have been rejected? How many popular non-print publishers have been aquired? What is your commision rate(s)? Then why was your company trying to aquire RPGNow? Why did James turn...

    Have any publishers used LULU.com? How was the experience? What quality was the printing?

    "Chubby Fanboys" is my generic term for the bottom-feeders of the Geek-Chain. I'm sorry if I offended any Chubby Calculus Majors, Chubby Computer Programers, Chubby Dog-Groomers, etc. I myself am a "Chubby Unproffesional". :D

    If it stays afloat, it will only be because money is channeled from a successful WW line to keep it afloat. Their ultimate goal is to drive RPGNow out of business and become the 'Amazon.com' of rpg pdfs. To that end, they will gladly run into the "red" for years, if need be. Our rural Wal-Marts...

    Please do. You can start by answering these questions: How many have been rejected? How many popular non-print publishers have been aquired? What is your commision rate(s)? Then why was your company trying to aquire RPGNow? Why did James turn you down? If you can't handle more than 16...

    I know I sound really snarky and snotty, and I know that many geeks like to keep a European-style diplomacy-at-all-costs attitude (sometimes it's hard to make new friends). This is a good policy when debating the proper way to say wyvern. It is a bad policy when you are being stabbed in the...

    Update: Malhavoc PDFs no longer available at RPGnow (merged)

    Your argument is flawed. Yes, you lock your house. Very good. Now sell your house. Do you keep the key? Do you tell the new owners what they can and cannot do with their new house? Do you tell them what kind of people can visit their new house? Do you tell them how many times a day they...

    Will you be purchasing PDFs from DriveThruRPG?

    If they had software for miniatures that could do that, GW would install it. :)

    James will have his revenge when the Gray Davis of pdfs craps-out and Monte Crook has to crawl back to RPGNow on his snake belly. Unfortunately for us, James will probably let him slink back in, if only for the higher sales. If I sound harsh, well I am. This is foul business from top to...

    /Still Off Topic/ I think you are talking about the Kaiser's Bazaar line? I will assume so. I admit that the demo is a bit poor from your viewpoint, it is meant to attract DM's that are looking for "big organized lists of stuff". My main focus is to provide a healthy booster the the anemic...

    And as a thank-you for giving me cash, feel free to copy, paste, back-up, and print as many times as makes you comfortable. You can even let your little brother read it!

    Does the store follow you home and tell you how many times you can open your carton of milk? Or how many glasses you can pour it into? Is there a fair-use agreement on your box of raisin bran? The issue is: can the publisher tell you what you can or cannot do with your purchase in your own...

    I'm quite suprised at how poorly Barbarian scored; why would you say Barabarians are not so popular? Is favored race a factor? Are the mechanics for Barbarians too unpopular? Is it just a loser from a role-playing standpoint? Do barbarians tend to be antagonists rather than protagonists?

    Favorite Class

    I needed to know how many people were playing just a double-classed character, and how many were playing three or more classes. The difference may seem subtle, but it's there. PS - Dinkledog, you are a sweaty, peanut shell-filled turdling with hairy toenails and all the episodes of 'Square One'...

    That's not really important to me. A prestige fighter is still a fighter, a prestige cleric is still a cleric. No matter how weird the prestige class, it'll fall into one of those. (sorry to any psions that feel left out)
