[QUOTE="Twin Rose, post: 2669672, member: 2765"] Well, certainly you have missed the intention of the entire idea. It isn't about giving away freebies at low cost, for example. It's about several factors - being able to get peoples buying habbits down with a very low cost. Compare to Amazon's $1 PDF page called "Surprise Me". Looking at other peoples bookshelves, their forum posts, whatever - you will also be able to tell, at a glance, how things mesh up with other peoples ideas. Keep in mind there's also a full-paragraph description of the item in a "mouseover" (alt) text that you will be seeing in the next couple of days. Personally, I think monsters are the very best thing for P&M - you can tell by CR whether or not it's what you need for your game, and the mouseover will tell you enough details if it might be interesting. They're also meant to be add-on purchases - if your buying habbits are such that you buy from certain publishers very often, or your current cart has products from a certain publisher, then the P&M selections you are offered will be "Recommended" based on that. Certainly, I hate getting an entire PDF of content, of which I use 1-2 pages because the rest doesn't fit my game. The other intention was to create a low entry point for people who wanted to give PDFs a shot. By creating a standard format, standard set of brief descriptions, cheap price, and easy categorization for recommendations, the hope is that people will find "Just one more thing" that helps their game out, and therefore, start to look deeper into the entire concept of PDFs.
