[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 862067, member: 907"] This might work better in the e-publishing forum, but since it's straddling the line between regular and electronic publishing I'll put it here. I promise I won't be angry if a moderator decides to move it though. I just noticed that Fiery Dragon's "Queen of Lies" is available as a PDF from RPGNow, put there about half a year after it went out of print. I think this (making OOP stuff available as PDFs) is a splendid idea, and I can't help but wonder why more publishers don't do that - not that it seems to be a common occurence for FDP either given that it's the only one. I know I don't know all the intricacies of the industry, but I really can't see any reason *not* to make OOP stuff electronically available. Since it's OOP, you don't get the "compete with myself" situation, and presumably most of the work is already done (I don't know how much work is involved in turning "product ready for printing" into "product ready for PDF", but I'm guessing it isn't that much compared to creating the product in the first place).
