These are all good questions.Let me give you one specific example of where we listened to the FLGS:When we released the Savage Tide Player's Guide is was a convention and online exclusive. The hobby channel said, "hey, we'd like some of that!" and we thought, "damn, we're pretty stupid for not giving it to them." So with Pathfinder, we created a Player's Guide 5-Pack for $10 and are selling it everywhere Pathfinder is sold.It would be a lie to say we were not, in some cases, trying to have our cake and eat it to. I can assure you that, moving forward with the GameMastery and Pathfinder brands, we have promotional stuff to offer all levels of our distribution chain and not just conventions and online sales.I can even go back a little further to the Campaign Workbook--we ran a FLGS only contest for pre-orders and I'll be sending a $500 gift card in the next few weeks to the lucky store that won.This doesn't mean we won't do promotions in the book channel, but we have ideas for promotions everywhere to encourage people to buy their books locally first. Heck, everyone of our ads says that the product can be bought at your FLGS or online at paizo.com.As for Pathfinder, factor in shipping to most locations, and you're getting pretty much the same thing from your FLGS. (Though, we do throw in a free PDF--subs are guaranteed sales every single month, we'd be crazy not to shoot for them.)Let me know if I missed something in my response and I'd be happy to discuss it.</blockquote>
