I would love to see more in print from SJG. I've been having great success using the DFRPG box set to bring new players into the fold, both young folks (middle schoolers) and faculty at my school. Oddly, even though it costs more, I've only seen people buy the physical box, never the digital version.

Once the boxes are unavailable, I'll try to pitch digital content harder, but PDFs can be tough for people who aren't already into gaming. They don't look appealing enough when printed and aren't easy to loan to people. My students mostly ask for games as gifts and their families want something they can buy at a store and wrap. (I know of four boxes sold to students at Christmas last year, three more for birthdays, and I'm hoping my local store can still get copies for the holidays this year.)

I get the market realities, though. So I'll just keep plugging away at trying to increase the customer base.
