[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6842409, member: 6690511"] I agree with the above. If you don't believe in your graphic design ability, why did you get creative with the graphic design on this product? *** So, my unfiltered first impression of this product, and why [B]I[/B] don't want to buy it: I am not interested in player options, because these require very intricate design and careful balance, and I don't trust some random guy on the internet (no offense) to do these things. I'm especially not interested in player options that allow a great deal of flexibility. These are even more difficult to balance and design. I'm definitely not interested in monsters as PCs. On the DM side, I already thought the Vampires in the Monster Manual were all I needed. Nothing on the store page tells me [I]why[/I] I'd want this. This is mostly a marketing problem. So, I'm already not interested, but let's say I'm interested enough to click on the preview: The graphic design is unprofessional, as mentioned above. The first thing I see is the title, half-unreadable on the same-colored background. I do not want to pay $2 for this. The second thing I see is a paragraph explaining something I already know. My patience is razor-thin. The next section is headed "How to Build a Vampire," and does not explain how to build a vampire. Instead, more information I already know. I give up on reading, and begin to skim. The next page seems to be the end of a section on vampire subraces. The first one I see is called "Zekaqux," which is not promising. Seemingly unrelated stock image of the floating organs monster? I continue to skim. More unpronouncable subraces. I don't know what any of these are, and reading the descriptions doesn't help. It would be nice if it was a choice between strong archetypes I already know (Dracula, Nosferatu, Twilight, etc.). I have nothing to hook onto. At this point, I shift to an even shallower skim. The backgrounds get more and more annoying. The blurb says it offers a lot of flexibility, but the class just looks like a Fighter/Monk variant? *** Overall, the front-end doesn't hook me in and make me want to read more. If I was really interested in the subject matter and it was PWYW, maybe I'd download it for 10 cents. Even if I was interested in the subject matter, I wouldn't pay $2. That's just me, though.
