In most cases with an intellectual development, people offer discounts because they want to make less of a roffit. So, let's say, someone offers a pack whereby you buy two games for, let's say, the price of one and a half games. I wouldn't be able to do that very easily with the dice, as I won't be really in this for a profit. I'm going to try to make a little of a profit, but I'm not going to be greedy with it, and I'm not willing to go below cost. I'll probably have a set price for each specific kind of die, and if you want a set, you pay for all those dice. If you want four d20 dice, you buy them individually, and I can't really see a way around that. Remember, in most cases, a discount means making a little less profit to increase business. I'm not going to try to make a lot of money on this one, so if I give you a discount, it might really hurt me. I'm really sorry, and if it looks like that will change in the end, we'll see about changing the way I intend this all to work.
