Hmmmm. BTRC has their starship combat game 'Slag!' availible in both
printed
and electronic forms. The printed version is inexpensive at US$8 and
the pdf
version is only US$5 (http://www.hyperbooks.com/slag.html)
The kicker is that the pdf version gives you lots of extras (extra
maps, 26
paged of reference material, 10 page strategy guide, extra examples and
more). I bought the printed version at a local game store but still
might
get the pdf version just for all the extras. I would think double
dipping
like this would happen somewhat regularly and that can't hurt the
company's
bottom line.
