Is the cost of Daggerheart books too low?

[Retros_x]

My post is about self-control, discipline, proper analysis of the product and figuring out that you don't need it even if the price is below what other publishers ask for. It is directly related to what the OP is about. A low price doesn't necessarily mean insta-sale or that the competition is loosing sale.

You don't get to tell me to shut up, even if it's worded politely.

Maybe you should've added that reasoning to your original post. As of now it just seams you want to add that you are not interested at all in the subject matter, which adds nothing to any discussion.

On-topic: When it works out for them, why should they sell it for another price? They are not amazon pushing smaller publishers out of business due to price dumping. They sell their own product to the price they want. I think its perfectly fine and their influence on the market is not big enough currently anyway.

Yes the domain cards are kind of handy when I'm playing, but then I've got to haul them around and not lose them from the set. My group is coming back from a long hiatus and now I need to find the trading card binder I had to make for my character to keep it organized, which obviously I didn't carry around in my ttrpg backpack for the last six months when we weren't playing. Meanwhile my character sheets for every other game I've played the last couple years are still in there ready at a moment's notice.

In every game I've ever played in, character sheet logistics has been part of the GM's job. At the end of the session, the GM takes the character sheets and puts them in a folder or whatever and then bring them to the next session. That way the GM has all the PC info in between sessions for adventure planning, and should a player be missing from a session that character sheet is still available if needed.

That is something I have never seen except in daggerheart where one does this because of the cards anyway.

Wow! In more than 30 years of gaming, I’ve never even heard of such a thing!

Regardless of the game we are playing, players ALWAYS keep their character sheets between sessions in my experience.

I think I’d actually be more than a little taken aback if a GM asked for my character sheet at the end of the session …

I still haven't bought Daggerheart so I guess the price is still too high.

 

[Umbran]

are they even all doing the same thing?

Have you lost the narrative? You were the one who suggested "DP just raising their prices and others doing the sane sometime later..."

I'm talking about those unnamed "others". You are suggesting that some meaningful number of them will independently choose to also raise their prices as a result of DP changing the price on one product. I question that result happening independently.

It isn't that weird.

Some of my players come to game directly from work. So, if they don't think to grab their gaming materials when they leave the house in the morning, they'll have a problem. After a couple of folks forgot to grab their sheets, I offered to keep them with my other materials for the campaign.

Normally, ime, players manage their own sheets, unless they want me to keep them, but I now I have manilla envelopes for each PC, so I can just have their char sheets, cards and any extras packaged up.

Probably already been said as I skipped form page 2 to 7 but Wotc PHB from 2014 to 2026 is still the same $50. Seems like their pricing is working for them although Amazon isn’t heavily discounting the 5.5 version like the 5.0 version.

I’m sure both have enough info to base their pricing structure on their production costs and what they want to make for them, neither are right or wrong but what works best for them.

It depends for us.

At our weekly long term game we hang on to our own sheets.

At our game club, people tend to give the sheets to the GM to hang on to, mainly because playing in those games is a little more casual, people tend to come and go a lot more, and they find it easier to just let the GM pack it up with his stuff at the end of the game. In our online game, of course, the sheet is stored electronically on the platform we use, so it doesn't come up.

Nobody has ever required one method or another though. We all just do what feels convenient at the time.
