I've heard that Paizo is selling the Pathfinder PDFs for 10 $ - seems very desperate, considering the price of the so "sold out" books from the first print run... Probably flood the market now and a year later, announce Pathfinder GSL!





Just kidding. Cheap books or PDFs is probably more a sign of clever marketing than despair. Not to forget that WotC is apparantly bundling the books with others. If you invest in two rulebooks for a game, there is a fair chance you will pick up more along the way. No guarantees, but marketing can never guarantees anything.

My company has the habit of offering tons of vouchers and gift cards - "buy one photobook for 5 € less!" "10 € less!" in the hope that this will later lead to more sales (in addition to the initial sale generated by you using the voucher...) I don't know the "math" behind it, but I suspect it works... Heck, management once suggested that we should have a function where you can enter a voucher that basically said: "Don't have a voucher? Click here to get one!" (That, though, was never realized as far as I am aware. )

Just kidding.

I know you were just kidding but it should be noted that Paizo announced the $9.99 price of the PFRPG PDF way before their first print of the book sold out.

And, of course, PDFs are not items that must be moved, but rather, items that are cloned. Magic?

Given the sequence of events, this move to me sounds like a real fear-induced response to the initial buzz and success of the Pathfinder RPG. A last minute desperate attempt to distract attention away from the Homecoming Queen of the Con (PRPG) by wearing your prom dress backwards and dancing on a table in the back of the ballroom shouting "Look at me, MEEEE!!!!"

IMHO, of course.

I think this event is usually scheduled during the (by invitation only) White Wolf party....
