Level Up (A5E) How Much Would You Pay At What Format?

[R_J_K75]

What format would you like to see this take shape in, and what are you willing to pay? Any answer is acceptable.

For context.

I would think some sort of Kickstarter form. I would like to get an option of a PDF and/or hardcover book. Soft cover if the page count is small enough, but I think this will end up in the PHB size so hardcover is better. I would pay similar cost to the official books if the quality is there and I think it will be used as often. Ideally a PDF around $15 and hardcover $35 would work, but I guess printing cost vary widely based on location and numbers. A print on demand option may work.

I think I would buy a PDF first and see how much it is being used before I buy a hardcover though.

Maybe smaller soft covers? I dont need every race, background or spell, If I have the option to buy hard copies I'd like to pick and choose. $5-$10 choose here, $50 there would be optimal.

I wouldn't think there is options to buy just chapters, but it would be cool. It does seem that there may be enough new options to make a PHB and a DMG book. This may force 2 books with the DMG one selling less, so maybe that one in a PDF for me and players buying their own PHB option.

I was thinking of some lite options for free to get interest like the basic rules from Wizards, but think that through the playtest most of us will see enough of final or near-final things to decide before the final copy comes out.

I'd think once the PHB and DMG changed it'd almost force a MM change.

I'd rather pay a bit less for a softcover than have a hard cover, but I imagine I'll go hardcover/pdf on kickstarter.....

Just to clarify this is not how we’ll be deciding price or format.

So, if we all vote $5, that won't be the price? Dangit.

I guessed this was more along the lines of threads where we guess which setting is coming out next since someone at Hasbro mentioned online that he recently has a trip and posted something that sounded like Smayhawk.
