Actually, I really think there's a method to their madness, here.

Rather than having the first book out to market be a big, relatively expensive hardback campaign setting, they put out a series of adventures. Folks might be more willing to pick up and adventure, because, well, it's cheaper AND it's a lot less effort to get an adventure up and running than it is a campaign setting.

Then they put out stuff like monsternomicon and the character primer -- again, not as expensive, more immediate utility.

It really seems like PP has been sowing the seeds of a solid market for their big book. And it seems to be working, judging by all of us folks who can't wait to get the IK campaign setting.

I wouldn't be surprised if they'll sell more copies this way.

P.S. I think what I just wrote was coherent, but I can't be sure right now. I'll try to doublecheck tomorrow. :-)
