I'll bite - what do you think is a fair price for a 320-page hardcover book stuffed with full-color art? I'd genuinely love to hear.

Do keep in mind that the price of printing went up as much as 8x during the pandemic, and never really came back down.

$60

$79.99? Is this an error? Player Core 2 is the same length for $59.99.

The 4 Core books are heavily discounted to be less of a barrier of entry.

From the blog announcing the most recent price structure:

Holding the Line on the Core

Contrary to what I’ve outlined above, we’ll keep the price of the hardcover Core books (Player Core, GM Core, Monster Core, and Player Core 2) at $59.99 through at least the first printing. We feel these books are essential first purchases for Pathfinder players and want to hold the line on price increases as long as possible to reduce the barrier of entry for new players.

Well it was frustrating for me to find out that buying the PDF and module separately (19.99+14$ is cheaper than this bundle.

Tl;DR Buy them separate, not bundled.

There goes 3$ haha

?

The price for the module separately is $16, so about a dollar more all together, unless there was a price difference/sale here or Foundry's site recently (I'm not the most knowledgeable on these things I fully admit).

What'll probably be more frustrating to you is that humble bundle has a bundle with all 6 books plus their foundry VTT counterparts for $35


If you have the PDF version of the Beginner box, it does come with a printable (non-form fillable), character sheet. However, it has a watermark that contains your e-mail address and full name. Don't know why they need to have a copyright security measure for a character sheet.

I also don't understand why they don't just have their character sheets freely available to download.

Just want to point out, what I think is a typo.

On the description of Osprey Cove, the text reads "While Osprey Harbor's..." as well as "Earn income in Osprey Harbor..."

I believe this was a mix-up of Iron Harbor and Osprey Cove.


Any plan to fit the entirety of the art onto the pawns, or is that just not feasible?
