[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 3897992, member: 2209"] Only Chris or another GR person could say what the actual point/intent of the sale is. I'm sure that physical inventory reduction is a big part of it, but I also think part of it might be simply to sell a bunch of d20 stuff while a lot of people (comparatively speaking) are still buying d20 stuff. The latter rationale would indicate a reason to put pdfs on sale now as well in hopes of generating more immediate pdf sale income than might be earned later at normal prices if d20 pdf sales slow to dribs and drabs once people have moved to active campaigning in 4e. For instance I expect at some point I will pick up Aasimar and Tiefling and Creatures of Freeport as I currently generally pick up at least one d20 pdf of something I have in print each month in my monthly rpg budget amount. I would like Cults of Freeport, Book of the Righteous and a dozen other d20 GR titles, but there are a ton of pdfs I want from a dozen different companies and I could not say when I would get to the GR products at their normal prices. Probably for years. I jumped on the $1 and $2 pdf sales though immediately and have been happy I did so. There are a ton of things I want to get so going with current sales works for me very well. Therefore EN Publishing and Dog Soul Publishing both got a bunch of money from me this month, whereas at their normal prices I would not have gotten stuff from either this month and likely would not have gotten anything anytime soon (months and maybe years between a purchase) and only one product at a time then. So I might buy a $10-15 GR pdf at some point next year at the normal price with the possibility that other pdfs would continue to push my planned purchases of them further back, but if they were on significant sale I'd divert my monthly rpg budget around to them now.
