    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    must be about how they view the content rather than page count

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    yeah, I meant if sales numbers were identical, ultimately this will be decided by how many copies they sell

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    are there worse deals to be had, sure, doesn’t mean it is a good deal though, esp. compared to its direct ‘competition’. Ultimately everyone will assign their own value to this (however you determine that without buying it first), some will buy it, some might not. Nothing much left to say on...

    does it? I thought they are all the same size

    their margins on the DLC are probably better than on the big FR books…

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    DDB makes tons of money off its subscriptions, they are not subsidizing it with the DLC. Another difference is the number of sales, the additional sales more than make up for WotC’s higher salaries. Pretty sure the Kobolds do not make 40% profit

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    probably the Krynn where Raistlin had defeated all the gods and was left with a wasteland in return. Doesn’t quite line up either, but no other version comes anywhere as close

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    no, they are not, doesn’t change the fact that they charge way more than the others for this (or that I consider it overpriced because of that) I am not arguing that they cannot charge it, I am arguing against those that claim this is a good price because a print version would cost $25

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    it’s only available on DDB, which makes the bargain bin a bit harder

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    they still make a profit doing so however. Which is my point, the $15 WotC charges for 32 digital pages is way overpriced. They do so because they can afford to, not because it is an accurate reflection of their cost which is what I was saying, I am not the one claiming that this is a good...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    not all that much, if Kobold Press can sell 32 digital pages for $5 and 64 for $10, then WotC can easily do so too. Given their volume they would still make a killing

    the books maybe, digital, a lot less sure

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Except that the labor is probably more in the $0.01 range in reality... Selling 10s of thousands of copies tends to make that one time labor cost very negligeable... EDIT: the $0.01 is for setting up the individual monster, for these books they had to also produce the actual content. The same...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    agreed, I just think doing this comparison is missing the mark in the first place. The real comparison is against other digital products with that number of pages, not against a theoretical print product and then taking 60% of its hypothetical price.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    against bosses or in general? I am perfectly fine with that against bosses I am already convinced, also don’t legendary resistances already kinda paved the way for a more detailed approach than ‘one size fits all’?

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Pioneer, MÖRK BORG日本語版, and more

    It raised less than half of what the 5e version did in the same first day. Still good for DH, just to put it in perspective. There are two factors for this imo 1) how many people know about the campaign to begin with, the Dudes being popular YTers probably makes quite a bit of difference there...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    maybe, maybe they just set it to where they expect to make the most profit. We had this discussion already, the DLC is ridiculous overpriced compared to what other publishers ask for 32 pages, and that is what I compare it to. $5 would be a decent price for this, anything past $8 is greedy, $15...

    it's not like they are scaling the digital releases linearly with their size either...
