It wouldn't cost them much to set up besides cleaning up the PDFs.

Low cost production values would probably harm WotC. <br /><br />In fact, low production values are the mark of many indies (who would beat WotC on sheer output, they don't want to be in that pool, margins are miserable) and of the Adventure League. <br /><br />Outshining these will cost a fair deal. Might throw in a print run or preorder print run like most KS to make some coin anyway. For the big ones, PDF only would be likely a loss - as you have to sell cheap and invest nearly as much as if the book has to go print.DerKastellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108771318010984386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-6854776922286143422017-08-27T13:26:59.265-04:002017-08-27T13:26:59.265-04:00For the Forgotten Realms they essentially rolled b...For the Forgotten Realms they essentially rolled back all 4e changes.
