heathd666 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?cPath=5621&products_id=82093 i dont know if this is the right place to post something or not but at rpgnow they are charging 2.00 for the quickstart rules. http://catalog.chaosium.com/product_info.php?products_id=3700 here it is free, i dont know if this is a oversight or if it has to do with the price of hosting something at rpgnow but most the other systems have their quickstart rules for free for example savage worlds, castle and crusades, cortex, shadowrun, world of darkness in their various worlds, im sure there are more those are just the first page. i know in other parts of this forum people are wondering why BRP is not as competitive as the others and there is a good case of you can just go to the chaosium site to DL it but most people when they are browsing around on the RPGNOW site they buy from there and usually dont go to another site as its all right there for them to download.

wbcreighton Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I don't think they have to charge for it because there is lots of free stuff on rpgnow or drivethrurpg in fact all of the d6 OGL system can be downloaded for free. You could always mention it to Chaosium, but it has been pointed out on this forum before. And in addition you can download the BRP QS from this web site ( for free ): http://basicroleplaying.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=307 Edited January 18, 2011 by wbcreighton addition Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrywith1e Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Could that be the 'print on demand' feature that justifies $11.00? It's marked down to $2 from $11?! Quote Wave your geekflag high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I wrote an email to RPG Now - usually it takes 2 days for a response Quote My Uploads - BRP and new: Revolution D100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMiddleton Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Could that be the 'print on demand' feature that justifies $11.00? It's marked down to $2 from $11?! That mark down is the standard (some what disingenuous) calculation RPGNow / DTR have always used for their PDF pricing - Chaosium sell a hard copy of the quickstart for $11.95, so they quote the hard copy price as the original price, to hype up the discount on the PDF price. that in this case Chaosium make the PDF version available free seems to have been missed...

pansophy Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I got an email back from RPGnow.com. It essentially says the publisher can set the price of the product. They will get in contact with Chaosium and let them know our worries. Quote My Uploads - BRP and new: Revolution D100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
