Idea for Subscriber GM's

I just wanted to pass this idea along because I buy a lot of Paizo material but my players, not so much. I can share relevant campaign stuff with them but there are a lot if books I'd love them to dig into themselves without me spoon-feeding them then parts I like. With this in mind, I'd like to suggest some kind of discount code that players can use to buy certain materials, like the companion or chronicles books. If someone subscribes or pays a little extra for a GM subscription, players in his/her campaign get a special code to buy books from the campaign at a discount.

The idea is to encourage more sales from people who ordinarily wouldn't because their GM bought the book. Even if it's a PDF only discount, I would love to tell my players there's a special price for them if they want their Adventurers Armory now that I'm using it for the campaign.

Well? Paizo likey?

The codes would be on the net in minutes - too open to abuse.

However, if you subscribe then you get the 15% Pathfinder discount. Why don't your players buy through you?

Well, there's not much point since buying the PDF through me would be redundant. It would still be my name and my account, if it even let me make the purchase.

It wouldn't be abused if the codes were single-use, maybe handing out 4-6 at a time. I'm really more interested in providing a cheap, legal way for players to purchase PDFs that their GM already has.

Actually you can buy a PDF as a gift for someone else, they just need to have a paizo.com account. Check the "Show gift options during checkout" box when you proceed to checkout. The PDF will be watermarked with the recipient's info, not yours.
