For me at least, I really appreciate game systems and universes that are immersive and that I can invest in. Something that is playable and has depth is exciting. The original Car Wars filled that niche for me. Though I never got into them, I'm certain games like Battletech and Warhammer also had that depth and length of appeal. And even in this "periodicals" market, there are still recent games that endure in this fashion. While no aficionado in its culture, X-Wing comes to my mind. I think the market has enough angles to it that you can chase whichever one happens to pique your bias at the moment whether you're an individual gamer or a whole game producer. It would seem absurd to me to drop one RPG for another every few months. Even those who have that capacity probably go back to their favorites. Somebody will still make games that stick around for a while, and the people who want to play them will find them. |

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
On another note, and also in rknop's post, I've been wanting to comment on this:
Quote:
Ironically, in departing from some stereotypes, I commend the return to the use of more traditional styles of plate armor on many characters. Maybe it was vogue, but the way some editions of D&D tried to eschew the traditional paladin was a stretch to me. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still a sucker for a beautiful woman, and there's plenty more room in GURPS and DFRPG for one. It definitely doesn't have to be exploitive. I just love the female elf delver on pg. 10 of the Dungeon Fantasy companion Magic Items even though it's relegated to just black and white print. Surprisingly, I haven't seen much feedback, but Brandon Moore definitely deserves credit for bringing a new style and quality to DFRPG and other products. Forums don't always highlight things that are easy to take for granted. Many times I considered starting a thread to discuss our favorite pieces of art in the DFRPG, but never quite got around to it. |

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
There already was an amount for shipping to Europe ($50, IIRC) and to the rest of the world ($75). The $20 were in addition to that.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Wasn't $20 the add-on price to have the PDFs included?

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
If you don't mind my saying so, it really sounds like you guys need to get in one or more professional project managers to go over your processes and help you get on the right track. I've been at software companies that have bad processes, and a lot of what you describe - run and fix the current crisis is the order of the day - is what goes on.
As always, I'm really glad to see how things are going, and I hope you folks made a profit. |

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Until I saw this question I was pretty darn sure that I'd only picked the option to get the physical books. Now, what's more likely, I somehow selected getting the PDFs as well or a mystery fee nobody but me can recall?

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
There were certainly plenty of add ons, I got some extra bases with mine.
