Glad to hear that. I've been handling my box set with kid gloves thinking I may never be able to replace it. But then, I'm a bit OCD like that.

Great as this is, I have to wonder what changed? There seems to be a gap in the thinking between, "The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game is a failure," and, "We're going to do a bestiary and reprint the boxed set."

Instead of reprinting the entire boxed set would it not be better to do a rules encyclopedia (or something similar) as a single larger book? I am assuming a single book would be cheaper to produce then an entire boxed set but I could be wrong.

Did the following [TIME UNIT] see a boost in how quickly the remaining units moved?

I do not doubt that the reasons have to do with the ever-changing business environment. At the moment, for example, SJ Games seems very interested in getting as much value as possible out of stuff they've already got rather than sinking vast resources into what's turning into an ever-quickening new-product treadmill, which in turn is causing all kinds of problems across the game industry. In this context, something with the development costs already paid may be more attractive than something where they're not.

Or, of course, Phil Reed may have been hit with a curse which can only be removed by reprinting boxed games, which would also explain the effort going into the pocket box revival. So, yeah, probably a Munchkin card gone wrong.

At a guess, a single volume would surely be cheaper to manufacture than the box set, but repackaging the set as a single volume has new costs of its own in addition to the manufacturing costs, so you might not ultimately see an improved bottom line.

We're taking these to Kickstarter with a realistic goal. If the project fails, we won't be making either.

Is it going to be a combined kickstarter or two separate ones?

One campaign, not two. A printed Bestairy has almost no wide value if the boxed game is not available. Just creating a Bestiary without the box would be a poor use of Sean and the team’s time.
