[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6884056, member: 6701872"] I don't know how much like the typical person I am, but... I've never found that anything can maintain my interest for a long period of time through marketing. Let's take movies as an example: You tell me the film is announced, and I say "ah, okay... that could be interesting." and then I don't think about the movie at all for months, or a year, or however long it takes between the announcement that the movie is going to get made and when I see a trailer telling me the movie is going to be out in a couple of months. And then, I forget about the movie again by the time it has actually been released - but the coverage saying how well it did or didn't do on opening weekend reminds me of the movie, and I go see it within a week or two if it looks interesting. The same works for gaming books - I backed the Exalted Third Edition kickstarter, then completely forgot about it until they sent out the advanced PDF to backers. So, for me at least, the approach of not bothering to say anything about what is coming out until it is at the "you can actually tell your FLGS guy you want a copy of this and he won't be confused what you are asking for" stage is the right time to worry about having my attention.
