Not sure if this question is better fit for itch as a whole, but how do I purchase just the new Colony book? The buy option seems to want to make me pay the full price for all the rulebooks. Also are Sixty Years In Space and Crewed Rules two separate rulebooks now? Do I need to pay for another other rulebook as well?
You can get C:st for PWYW at https://half-apress.itch.io/colonysubtitle until I do a full release of it.
If you purchased Sixty Years in Space at the $20 or more tier, you’ll own a copy of the Crewed Rules. If you did not, you’ll have to rebuy it. I’m happy to discuss this further.
Will the PWYW version continue getting updates (including once it goes to the normal pricing)? I'm more than happy paying for the rulebook, I just want to make sure that I don't have to pay the full $80 in the future if I don't have to, since I've already paid $50 for 60YIS, Facility, TSI, All Errors, and A Lot Of Zeroes, as well as got A-Base from the post-release 'promotional'. Same for the new version of TSI. I know its not your fault that itch is really dumb with how it does bundle pricing, but I'd be quite annoyed if I lost something I paid for (TSI).
TSI should be PWYW as well at https://half-apress.itch.io/this-space-intentionally until the next release.
In general:
1. If I reorganise the bundle order I make any game removed from the bundle PWYW for 3-6 months.*
2. All PWYW releases convert to a purchase of the book when it goes full price.
* There’s one exception where I gifted everyone who bought at a specific price tier the book that had its order in the bundle changed.
Awesome, thank you for the explanation. Loving the reorganization of the rulebooks by the way. Earlier versions felt like you were missing out if you weren't using all the books, but this new organization really isolates each book in a way where you can still hit a lot of fun points without needing everything.
