DriveThruRPG Price Increase – INFO

March 7, 2025March 7, 2025

DriveThruRPG is increasing the prices for their POD books. In some cases, up to 40% increase. I will have to run the numbers on all my products, but at this time, it looks like Threadbare will not be affected (though if the cost of printing the color softcover goes up any more, it will be).
