Because if they do that then people can down load it and pass it on to others.
Making Palladium lose money due to copyright infringements. Also if your computer crashes you have to repay to down load it again.

Also, I personally would rather have a bound book as opposed to a bunch of loose computer paper. Just my 2 cents.

These books will be printed when complete. Palladium does have the money to print books that will sell. They just have to make careful choices in figuring out which books will sell before they print them.

The operative word here being hopes. It is particularly telling that the word hopes was chosen, and not plans. :-?

Well, take it at face value or don't. KS will work on whatever he feels is most important or likely to bring in some dough. Me, I'll believe it when I see it.

Not to add more fuel to the fire against your post (not that your idea was a bad one), but I wouldn't buy a PDF. I have no reason to not wait for the hard copy.

And with the number of posts that have crossed these boards from people who have picked up BtS2 and eventually moved on to other RPGs because of lack of further products (new releases), I doubt a PDF would accomplish much.

Depends which provides more immediate income.

Regretably, BTS-2 is Kevin's artistic product, not his cash flow product
