Heya, just caught this thread and it looks like our system hiccupped along the way: the pricing for the Core Rulebook and Bestiary PDFs is actually $14.99.

Chris, how can you stomp all over this love fest like that?!

As I understand it, Paizo's business model has always been pretty AP and adventure focused in a lot of ways. To some degree, from a business perspective, the rules are superfluous to what actually makes them money. They can afford to sell the rules for cheap and provide them for free because the whole point of the rules from a business perspective is to allow people to buy and use their adventures.

This is the model a lot of miniatures games are going with now. Infinity for example gives out all the text components of its game for free (rules and scenarios etc) and encourages people to play with whatever materials they have (paper standees for example.) Knowing full well that the wider net they can cast with a low barrier to entry, the more people they will convert to buying their models.

Thanks for the update!

I was expecting at *least* that $15 so was kind of shocked to see the $10. Still incredibly cheap, of course!

Damn, drugs just got more expensive, another proof that the economy is going to hell.

What are you talking about? The free PDF I get with my subscription just increased in value by 50%. This is a great economy.

And it's an extra $5 off the Fantasy Grounds version!*

*Not that it matters since I'd be buying both the PDF and FG versions in any case.

Hey folks, I'm going to close up this thread. The first post had data that was not correct for the prices and I'd rather not have that be something people find and get confused about. If you'd like to restart a thread about PDF pricing in 2E, please do.
