Catalyst RED – Retail Electronic Delivery

It seems that, historically, the only place to buy a PDF was from the manufacturer (or a select few online websites). If you wanted both a print and physical book, you were limited to what was available from the manufacturer. Retail stores that serve the player with play space, selection, and knowledge just could not offer a player a PDF and a book. We at Catalyst Game Labs have been working hard to change that.

Therefore we’re proud to announce the creation of Catalyst RED, our new Retailer Electronic Delivery system. With RED, retailers will be able to sell you copies of the core book PDFs along with your hard copies right at the store simply by providing your email address. And should you for some reason lose your PDF, you can easily request another download of the file, just like a online customer. We feel that Catalyst RED will finally allow that next step in customer satisfaction that you and the owners of your friendly local game store have been asking for.

Currently the system is in Alpha testing at select game stores across the country, and we plan to have the system available at more retailers later this year. For a list of retailers who currently offer Catalyst RED purchases see below:

    Allow me to say that, when you guys get it all up and running for general use, I will definately be talking to my FLGS about getting them to set it up..

  2. Outsider Says:

    None in Texas. Swell.

  3. AdamJury Says:

    Outsider — we’re still in the very early stages of this program. We’ll be adding more retailers once we get feedback from the current ones [and their customers] about how things are working, and after we make any necessary tweaks.

    To Adam-

    Sweet!!

  5. Craig Says:

    If this takes off, any plans to set it up in stores outside of North America? I’ve mentioned being visually impaired I rely on PDFs, and find it a little disappointing that I can’t walk into shops and buy a copy I am able to use. Also is it possible to buy just PDF, or is it tied to a hardcopy purchase at the same time? This isn’t necessarily a problem since the hardcopy can be used for players, just curious.

    Yay for Rainy Day Games!

  7. pdboddy Says:

    Whoa. Now this should shake the rust off of the whole PDF/brick and mortar argument.

  8. MK Ultra Says:

    Seconding Craig on request for RED around the world!

    Does this mean we can hope for sweet pacage deals as with online purchase?
