Brand Robins I’m seeing that happen a lot with the Burning Wheel Codex. It’s so simple and premium-free that there’s literally no reason value proposition at all to back it other than to get the book sooner than you would via retail.

It’s not like he couldn’t add some stuff to make it tastier. I can only speculate that he literally needs only his print/art budget covered.
