Hi,

I live in Europe and would really like to buy some of your stuff in the store mainly old DRAGON Pdfs. Over here not everybody has a credit card. Several years ago I asked if PAYPAL is planned as a payment option, and it is still not possible to pay by it.

What reason is there for a company to hurt it's earning by not offering PAYPAL as an easy, safe option for itself and it's customers?

Please explain this to me.


3 people marked this as a favorite.

5 years ago in 2007, I asked if there would be a PAYPAL option for PDF products the answer was "probably not before christmas".

Now 5 years later Paizo still has not a PAYPAL option set up. I really wonder why?

Do you not understand that you have customers in Europe for example, and that over here NOT everybody has a credit card?

Are you earning enough money to disregard this payment method, which is deemed safe enough by companys such as Amazon?

Really now I would like to understand the reason for the refusal of Paizo to offer PAYPAL to its customers.

Get Paypal up and running and I'll make you a promise to spend over a grand by Christmas.

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but development is booked through at least Thanksgiving, so having PayPal before Christmas is doubtful.

Any news in this case? Its a new year now.


Well those are the "selling prices", should not the construction costs be half that ?

I always wanted to look into Car Wars back in the day, but I never got around to it. Was it any good? If so, I may try ebay.

There is a GURPS Carwars RP supplement out there.

I was given a copy of Avalon Hill's (AH) Rune Quest (RQ) back in the 80's (affectionatly called Rule Quest), but could never wrap my immature mind around the rules completely. RQ was an upgrade to an AH game called Powers & Perils (P&P)

Please allow me to correct that.

Rune Quest being the game that got me to RPGs, and still being my Holy Grail. The Game was created published and by Chaosium (of CoCuthuhu and Pendragon fame).
Their Basic Roleplay System was used in all their RPGs with slight modifications for the relevant game. Their Learning-by-doing skill system was revolutionary, and it was one of the first games which allowed you to basically play any race. What I loved most was their unique, well developed and described world, Glorantha.
3er Edition RW was distributed by AH, in a try to reach a broader player base.
It still holds a special place in my heart, and sometimes I just lean back and page through the books and old campaign notes.
