Hi there! How is it going today? It’s just that i dig your site so much, and that i think you can start earning alot of money with it. I run a few thriving sites that I started bringing in some money from lately. They are using a thing called a content revealer widget, it makes guests fill out a small survey inorder to view highly valued content or to download files that they need. And each time they do a fast survey i earn around two dollars. Really cool eh..? Been making much more from this than google adsense.. Feel free to contact me, or you can check it out through my link. http://www.tinyurl.com/yevwfst, Best Regards, Henrik E. Hanson

$44.99 for a 220 page rule-book is feeling spend-y on this one. Just in comparison to some other things…

Interesting times.

What the press release (and your article) doesn’t mention is that the BSG RPG quickstart guide is available for $7 (download) and $10 (hard copy, I believe). It is a 32 page product and includes a unique adventure that won’t be featured in the rulebook.

While there’s been some criticism already of the MWP charging for their quick-start (unlike, say, WW’s recent Changeling demo kit), Jamie Chambers (VP at MWP) noted the following:

* The basic rules are available for free as the preview of the quick-start rules via DriveThru RPG. Those free rules don’t include the ships, adventure and characters.

* MWP will be releasing a free web-enhancement upgrade designed to upgrade the adventures and characters from the quick-start to the full rules.

To balance, Green Ronin’s M&M Beginner’s Guide is priced similarly (although is in color).

The BSG RPG Quickstart’s been available since Friday via DriveThruRPG and RPGnow.
