The Great EN World News Poll: Part 2 (d20 News/PDFs)

Morrus · Aug 29, 2006

This is a followup to the first poll, comments about which indicated there may be an issue regarding the amount of PDF News in the d20 News section on the front page.

Does the frequency of PDF releases turn you off the d20 News section of the news on the front page? Do you gloss over it; if so, would you be likely to read it more often if that particular section were different? If so, in what way?

This is a confusing poll: I almost hit the wrong response. Answer Yes if you do not like PDF news, and No if you do. I'm not sure how valid the responses are going to be.

Good point. I've reworded it and reset the votes.

Almost all of my gaming purchases each year are PDFs now, so I appreciate having the PDF news.

I read them, although I am not generally in the PDF purchase market.

I read them and I am a big purchaser of pdfs.

While I read the pdf release announcements, I generally skim them and look for publishers and authors I know and respect. I do not think it would hurt to move all of the pdf announcements to their own page and just post an annoucement in the news that more product annoucement news is available.

There's the PDF news page. I was considering moving it all there, depending on the results here, highlighting the occasional really cool thing on the main EN World page.

Just want to mention that even though I buy quite a few PDFs I'd likely not not check a seperate page for PDF news.

At any rate, the way things are going nowadays the major source of support for all kinds of d20 is in PDF. I barely see any d20 stuff at the FLGS.
