Rappan Athuk Reloaded at DTRPG.COM

[Ottergame]

My copy arrived from Amazon yesterday, right on time. I got #0233.

As I stated before, one of my concerns about the pdf of Rappan Athuk: Reloaded is quality vs price. Is the quality of the pdf you purchase up to the standard one would expect for a product of this price? Can I print out sections, especially the maps, without it being so blurred as to be useless? Will the watermarking interfere with the printing of said maps?

I ask this because I have had a bad experience with a Necromancer Games pdf in the past. I purchased the Players Guide to the Wilderlands at DrivethruRPG.com and the quality of the pdf was less than stellar. Graphics were blurred and pixilated; the watermark made the corner of the map pages even harder to read; and overall the graphics quality was extremely low. Now, granted, I did get a refund when I complained about it, but the promise of an upgraded, usable copy has yet to be fulfilled.

So, if I am spending $50 on a pdf, will it be of a quality that is usable, or am I better off hunting down a print copy and possibly paying through the nose for it? That, more than anything, is my concern about the pdf.

Go to Amazon, if the listing says it is still in stock buy it.

Buy them before I do. I'm going to end up buying a few and sitting on them to pander on eBay.

Treebore, I would do just that if I did not have to do such pesky things as pay for the roof over my head and pay for a past hospital visit and save up for the next hospital visit. Life gets in the way sometimes. :\

Oh. so you need to wait. to bad. The Amazon price is less than $48.00. Good luck.

RARe has been pirated and distributed through IRC as late as yesterday. Downloads are already in the hundreds, and they'll grow as they seep out into P2P programs. You may see a drop in PDF sales, and a sudden spike in people on message boards who talk about RARe but can't seem to remember their product number.

I ordered one yesterday (8/17) and as of today Amazon still lists it as "in stock"

Have they shipped yet, or given an estimate? I ordered one a few days ago and it says it's shipping next week. Which means either they have a really really really big warehouse, or they have a strange definition of "in stock"

Wow. 50 bucks for a .pdf file. That is insane.

Aren't the .pdf copies nearly all profit? Sure there is the cost of OCR'ing the print files, then the cut that the electronic distributors get, but the margin has to be much better since most of your costs of the print version don't exist in the .pdf version. And I assume that your costing of the print version was setup to recoup your investment in creating the product.

In any event, I'd like to give you some money, but not that much.
