[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8716953, member: 42040"] No. I just know that campaign books, books of setting information, books with specific themed classes do not sell as well as core books, which every group (and most players) need. If you find other data to suggest that the Absalom city guide is outperforming the Core Rulebook or Bestiary, I'll happily edit my post. Surprisingly, yes, I've done this. When listing my PFS game on the database, it shows you the activity of organized play, and if online or in-person. PFS is much stronger online than in-person. This doesn't even touch on the fact that my PF2 rulebooks are basically already outdated and aren't of the current printing. My PDFs though - instantly updated. My Foundry games - instantly updated. I just don't see why people would want books. Heck, even if you are lucky enough to be able to play in person, bring the PDF or use Archives of Nethys. And sadly, I wish I could buy the books to support the company, but there's no way I could use them. If I don't have that content electronically, it's useless to me. If I can't put maps on a VTT, scan details into the online game, that book is just going to sit on my shelf. [/QUOTE]
