[Buffy RPG] $70?!

[Witch Doctor]

Went to my NSFLGS (Not so Friendly Local Gaming Store) and started perusuing the RPGs on hand. Let me note that my LGS is more comic book based, awith a little section for gaming.

Anyway, I came across a beige book with a neat-looking 'B' on the front. So out of curiocity, i picked it up,a nd to my plesent suprise was the Buffy RPG.

First, I must say that I liked it a lot. Lots of color, nice text, and definitely wasn't your run-of-the-mill RPGs, just by the way it was written.

However, when I turned it over to see how much is was, I was shocked beyond all reason when I saw the $69.99 sales tag.

Is this the normal? How can they charge this much for one book and make a profit?

That's the limited edition version of the book.

Ayup. Just like the few leather-esq Palladium and White Wolf books I have. Collectors Edition books general start at 50 and go up to 70-80.

Technicaly, however, this should be in General... Buffy is neither D20 nor OGL.

 

[Witch Doctor]

Oops, sorry, but thanks for the help anyways.

Yeah, the normal book's $30-something.

 

[Eden Studios Inc]

Yeah, the normal book's $30-something.

The standard corebook is $40.

The limited edition corebook has as SRP of $65, but Ive seen it sold at $80, especially now that its out of stock. We only printed 1000 units of the LEs.

The Slayer's Handbook and Monster Smackdown are each $30.00 and have LEs as well that have an SRP of $55.00, Ive seen them sell close to $75.00. We still have a few left.

The Magic Box sourcebook is $27.00 and the Buffy Director's Screen is $20.00.

Most good game stores have these in stock, if you cant find them you can order them directly from us at:

Great books all around. All of them are full color and all but the Magic Box is harbound. Great quality and research went into these books. I eagerly await the release of Angel.
