[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8556815, member: 326"] Hey S'mon! :) Its the quality of the Standard/Premium versions that are the main issue (that and the cost of the Premium version). Plus do I want two products out there with a massive disparity of quality...? I'm slow enough that I think I'll have to have all the work done before I start it. Risk? You mean financially? Or in following through with the Crowdfund? I suspect my only 'reputation' at this point is being the 'epic' guy that takes ages to finish a project. :rolleyes: The funding isn't a problem. 1. I simply don't want to release a poor quality book (if I can avoid it). 2. I sort of need to know how many copies to print - which [B]seems[/B] to necessitate a crowdfund - which has all those associated complications. Unfortunately, in my idiocy this book's page count has spiraled out of control and while I could divide it up piecemeal that doesn't sound like any EPIC book I want to create: I want immortal PCs and divine power up to Supreme Being, I want an Epic Magic system that goes all the way up to casting Big Bang and then goes beyond, I want rules for monsters bigger than a skyscraper, bigger than a mountain, bigger than a planet and heck even bigger than a universe if you need it, I want over 60 epic monsters that are just going to put the fear into players again! I just want to make the most EPIC D&D book I can and to be honest I don't care whether it loses money* or not as long as I am happy with it and the people who get it either love it or just say "you know what, now that's EPIC!!". This stuff isn't my living, its my passion. *although hopefully not. 🤞 Its the minutiae of getting a top quality product into someone's hands, this is what I need to weigh up and sort out. [/QUOTE]
