More for your Buck:  There is less concern for page count and file size in a mini PDF.  Therefore, we can include larger print, better art, and more information concerning each topic.  We can afford to improve the overall depth and quality of every subject. Selectivity:  Many seasoned RPG'ers are thoroughly attached to a particular campaign setting.  You might be interested in new races, classes, feats or spells... but have no desire to pay $12 for a complete campaign world that you'll never visit.  With mini PDF's, you can purchase the specific topics that you want, and they're only $0.99!! Steady Stream of Releases:  Large source books and supplements take many months to produce.  With mini PDF's, there will always be a new product "coming soon". Those are the reasons I have listed on my web site.  In addition to the consumer benefits, as a publisher, it's just plain easier on SO many levels to work with a smaller publication.The only downside I can see is that, over the course of time, the consumer might end up paying more for multiple mini-products than they would for a single, comprehensive source book.  However, this expense is spread out over a long period of time, and they can also pick and choose what they want to buy.  When it comes right down to it, for any given purchase.... it's just a buck!Now... as for sales figures?  Sold one within 10 minutes of going on sale in the middle of the night.  We'll see what happens from here on out!</blockquote>
