Our Brick & Mortar PDF Guarantee
If you buy a physical book of ours from a real, brick & mortar store at full price, we’ll give you the PDF. Period.
It’s as simple as that. We want to support local gaming stores the best we can, and we don’t want our fans to feel they have to choose between loving us (by buying a Print+PDF bundle at IPR) or loving their local game store. Why not get both?
With the Evil Hat Retailer PDF Guarantee, you don’t have to choose! But we WILL need you to confirm that you’ve purchased the book. Drop us a line (or have your FLGS do it!) at feedback AT evilhat DOT com and show us your proof of purchase. Scanned purchase receipts are the best way to do this, but we’ll take the word of your FLGS as equivalent. And while you’re at it, tell us where you bought the book, and make sure they know that the Evil Hat Retailer PDF Guarantee sealed the deal!
We are also a part of the Bits & Mortar publisher coalition. Head on over to that site and find out who else offers free PDFs together with the books you buy from your FLGS!
Amazon sells Bubblegumshoe directly for $24.26. I’m not sure if that stock comes direct from EvilHat, but it doesn’t list a 3rd party seller. Does it qualify for the PDF guarantee? The price isn’t much different than direct from your sales page, but the convenience of the Amazon Prime shipping makes it more attractive. Thanks for any help!
When the price is not deeply discounted we tend to provide the PDF. Contact us by email (feedback@evilhat.com) if you want to discuss.
On the Bubblegumshoe front. Is Bubblegumshoe a fate meets gumshoe like the pathfinder supplement Lorefinder: GUMSHOE Pathfinder Mashup is a pathfinder/gumshoe? If not is there one in the pipeline?
Nope, it’s GUMSHOE, but radically stripped down in some ways and with a new-fangled social component.
We have no plans to create a Fate/GUMSHOE merge, though I think some folks in the fan community have bandied about the idea of “Fateshoe”. Just not us.
Hi, will this work for my local store in the UK as well? I’m picking up a few presents there tomorrow and would quite like to get DF if they have it and the offer extends over the pond.
Yes.
What if your receipt is emailed to you from a square device. How would I get that to Evil Hat Production for proof of purchase?
Use your email client’s “forward” feature to forward the message to feedback@evilhat.com.
Or bypass the receipt entirely and email us a single pic of you + the book you bought to the same address.
Fred I bought a copy of paranet papers from Gen Con last yeah, I have the book mark from the shop. I haven’t even opened the book for fear of damaging. How does this work I would love a digital copy.
Hi Wayne, take a picture of your receipt or of you holding the book and email it to feedback@evilhat.com. We’ll send you out a PDF.
