[QUOTE="DSC-EricPrice, post: 2669769, member: 2110"] Well I certainly appreciate hearing back. I know you guys are trying something new and that success is often built in the face of naysayers. I have to admit a mouseover with some additional information allays some of my concerns as a consumer. I still worry about the price point. It is just hard to imagine paying .49 for an item, or a monster. The laws of probability tell me that a monster manual, while having plenty of monsters I hate or rarely use, will be a better value. I suppose I agree that .49 cents is enticing for those looking to try pdfs, but as someone who already buys pdfs I'm not sure it is compelling. Maybe Im not the intended audience for the pdfs though. At .49 cents though I also worry that it sends the wrong message to the audience you make reference to, and that paying such a high price might leave potential customers with the idea that pdfs arent worth the money. Like you said, I guess we'll have to wait and see on that one. One thing I would agree to is that there is a price point where people seem inclined to impulse buy small items. As a potential publisher it seems like the license makes no provision for art, meaning that I have to get artists who do an illustration for a monster to agree to giving up their art as Open Game Content. Most artists I know will not do so. [/QUOTE]
