That's where the money is. Support products don't sell well, so a company will usually hope to make a small profit on the support book itself, while driving the sales of an already successful book higher.This is especially useful to continue selling a book (and convincing retailers to continue stocking that book) after the initial 30 days, when most RPG books do the bulk of their sales.
