[QUOTE="EOL, post: 418957, member: 823"] [b]Re: Perhaps a bad idea....[/b] I appreciate the feedback. In a years time when we start "giving away" the old adventures we plan on having more revenue streams than just the "new" adventures, and the plan is to use the free adventures to pull people into those other revenue streams, but this isn't the biggest reason. The biggest reason is we want to be a good member of the D20 community. Look around at all the people donating their time to the community. We think that being a good "corporate citizen" requires giving back to the people who made you successful. This is a good point perhaps giving away [b]all[/b] adventures over a year old may be overkill, but once again we'll have to see. The point I'm really interested in making is that we intend to provide significant resources even to those people who don't want to give us any money because we've received significant help from all sorts of people in the community without giving them any money. [b][/b] Once again we'll have to see. I do however think that unlike most products, adventures work very well as PDF's. Most RPG products are used multiple times over a long period and therefore work better in print. Adventures, on the other hand, are marked up and used once. This is not to say that we are setting out to hurt the print industry on the contrary as I said above we want to be good "corporate citizens." That includes playing nice with other D20 publishers not just the community of players. [/QUOTE]
