On Demand Hardcovers? - Page 3

Seamonster · 07-26-2023, 06:05 PM

Though I have nearly all 4e books already in hardcover (I think I'm missing a couple), I'd be the first to purchase digital series as hardcovers, like Action, Power-Ups, and Spaceships! I already own a lot of these digitally, but would absolutely buy these hardcover compendiums!

Someone mentioned 3e Conan hardcovers - those are 3e books I would love HC too!

I suspect there are several of us that want one book, I would like Vehicles from 3E, plus the supplements, in a hardcover, however the reality is, I suspect, not likely to pay off on 3E titles in the long run.

What Bruno said: the longer, the more hardcover potential. I've been looking into making them with my local bookbinder, but the costs are high and I would still have to provide good-quality colour prints. In combination those start making those eBay prices for some books look okay again.

I'd snap any of my missing 4th-Edition hardcovers and even the 3rd edition ones (maybe six titles) and some of the more often perused 128-pagers from the 3rd edition (Magic Items, Grimoire, Vehicles, couple of setting books, the whole Spirits/Monsters/Faerie/Shapeshifters series...). Shorter stuff would need to see heavy table use, but I'd buy a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy (or Dungeon Fantasy RPG) compilation hardcover in a heartbeat (even with no layout changes, just one book bound after the other).

Absolutely! I'd love all the DF series in one book...

Yes DF, Action, MH all in one hardcover would be great.

Also Power Ups in one hard cover

Completely agree.

I would love it. Now I have a lot of the current books for 3rd and 4th (including all the hardcovers) so I might not be your target market for this but as others have expressed, if compilations of current series are considered (DF, MH, Action, AtE, PU, etc.) I'd be highly interested.

Do folks here have any thoughts about making more hardcovers available as part of our On Demand program?

Simply put, yes. I want hardcovers & in color. I'd gladly pay more for those things. Any. All. Yes.

I came back to say I would be keen for a In Nomine 2nd edition (the d666 one) color hardcover.

Heck, I would be keen for a In Nomine 3rd edition.
