Default PDF Version?

How about releasing a pdf Version of the game?

The shipping, customs/toll and VAT are a killer for us here in Denmark.

Sorry Jaeger:

Didn't see your Posts.

We can't do that. When you invest 10's of thousands in product, you need that product to move. Releasing pdf's will give alot of people a good reason not to invest in the game, plus will lead to major pirating.

We are trying to line up resellers in Europe - if you know of any firms in Denmark, just give us a shout.

Best regards,

I thought it was possible to make money from a pdf Version as you would have very low manufacturing and distribution costs.

Anyway here are some game making/distribution companies in Denmark:

http://www.midgaardgames.com
http://www.danspil.dk (mostly family games)

Also I'm sure my favorite wargame shop:
http://www.fantask.dk (email: fantask@fantask.dk)
will know who you can contact for getting your game out in Scandinavia.

There is also my 2nd favorite:
http://www.faraos.dk/fc-english.html (email: faraos@faraos.dk)

I hope these links will prove helpful to you as I would really like to buy LnL from a shop here in Denmark or Scandinavia or at the very least from England.

Jaeger,

Sorry about the delayed replies. We've been busy wrapping up the game. Tim's post says it all; we won't be doing a PDF Version of the game. Of course there is a PDF demo, which we plan on updating in the coming weeks.

I'm sure that Tim will look into the Denmark retailers. Thanks for the information.

Best,
Mark
