I'll definitely be open to ordering from DTRPG now, though the price is still a deterrent. In the end, I buy a lot from RPGNow because there are a lot of great releases and I can go there and get something new for less than ten bucks. The print publishers just don't get it yet. They've got to be conservative because they're part of the corporate machinery. They have to pay attention to the FUD and to the wonks who are afraid that PDF will poach their print customers. That's how the machine runs. But this is a another significant step in their coming around to reality. WotC is testing the waters selling PDFs. DTRPG is offering a more customer-friendly format. I see that as only helping their sales, which will confirm their hopes rather than their fears. And I expect in time they will come around in pricing. They will always charge a premium for "name brand" content. But it will compete more directly with the small publishers. (And some of those small publishers are definitely up for the fight.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
