Message: <blockquote data-quote="saturnin55" data-source="post: 3008272" data-attributes="member: 12729">I'm a long time diehard necro fan. Been on the ng boards since 2000, over 1000 posts there. I owns over 25 NG products. Been talking about necro to my friends, they themselves bought 10 products I do not personally own.  I believe I qualify as a long time, loyal NG fan and customers.  You guys are awesome really and your products are just so freaking great.Unfortunately, I've been unable to pre-order RARE. When I wanted (and could afford) to do it, late july, pre-order has stopped the day before <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  I was very disapointed. Fortunately for me, another fellow ng board member living 150 km away from me was going to GenCon and offered to pick up a copy of RARE for me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I wanted to pre-order, even with the prohibitive and overpriced shipping fee policy White-Wolf has for Canadian orders (flat $25!) to get the free PDF freebies pre-orderers had.  Now that I have my copy picked up at GenCon (it may even be signed by Bill and Co., i don't have it yet), I'd have to pay over $50US for a PDF. No way.I'd not feel my copy of RARE would be devaluated AT ALL if more people could buy the PDF.  The print thing is the real gem! The PDF isn't!. Owning a PDF has nothing with the real thing and this special added value is x100 for a deluxe product like RARE IMHO. I own the pdf of the Players Guide to the Wilderlands and I'd rather own the print version!!! A PDF has no collector value IMHO.As a side note, I also owns the Wilderlands of High Fantasy boxed set. awesome product. Truly a gem. Even after owning it for a year, I'm reading (and re-reading) bits of it several days per weeks.  I'd like to have the PDF also to be able to use the search function. (it's not easy to find back something you vagely remember in those 2 books and 3000 hexes!) Been thinking buying the PDF but again the $50 price tag is way too high. I understand that for WoHF you can't drop the price now. There's a lot of box set still sitting on the shelves. But RARE will be sold out (on the shelves) in a very near future. Ok, I don't have the numbers, but I'd guesstimate if the pre-orders had to be stopped just to be able to stock Alliance, there's probably not that many that were left. In a very near future, RARE will be very rare <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm not mad, just sad. I think your arguments for pricing the PDF that high are not valids but who am I to say this. This is only my point of view on the situation. I don't run NG and you've proven in the past that you knew how to run a successful d20 company.</blockquote>
