Print prices increasing February 1

We were recently informed by our online publishing partner OneBookShelf (the owner of our online web store DriveThruRPG) that they are increasing printing costs by 5%.

The last time the cost of printing was raised, we absorbed the increase, as we felt a small loss in revenue on our part was worth not passing the increase on to our customers.

However, if we were to do so again, it would mean a significant loss of revenue with the two increases on top of one another, especially on books that are found in brick and mortar game stores, who get a hefty discount when they order from us.

Unfortunately, this means that, as of February 1, the cost of many of our hardcover books will go up by approximately $5. A few (such as the Adventures Dark and Deep Lite™ book) will remain unchanged. We are still evaluating the impact on our softcover adventure modules.

I heartily encourage everyone, if you were thinking about getting a hard copy book, or taking advantage of our print upgrade program for those who have already bought a pdf, do so now before the price increase goes into effect.

This will not impact the cost of our pdfs, and all print books will also come with a pdf copy at no cost, as before.

Official Statement on AI-assisted art

The issue of the use of AI art, or AI-assisted art, is a complex one, and we acknowledge that the state of the art in regards to the technology involved is constantly evolving.

That said, BRW Games does not use AI art, or AI-assisted art, in our products. We happily utilize the talents of a large number of human artists for custom work, and make use of human-created clipart, stock art, and public domain art in our products.  If we discover that a piece of art in our products has been created or enhanced by artificial intelligence unbeknownst to us, the art in question will be removed and the artist responsible will be excluded from future projects.

Updates to Print and Digital Books in Progress

Please note that print options for some of our books and adventure modules may become temporarily unavailable as we update our books to remove references to the Open Game License.
 
We apologize for any inconvenience; the digital books will still be available during this process.
 
Customers who have previously purchased digital versions of our books may also receive notices that new versions are available. This is part of the same process.
