    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Re: gotta love those referrals Every once in a while we consolidate the funny spellings or obvious "heard from a friend" phrases into like spellings and short words. This make the counts work out a bit better. We don't get them all but it's good enough I guess. On of the issues of most people...

    What would you like to see in a RPGNow Monthly Magazine?

    I can be reached at webmaster@rpgnow.com I already have a pretty good volunteer team from just the vendors themselves as they too want to see their products get promoted. But we can always use editors and article submissions and stuff. We have permission from many of the vendors on RPGNow.com...

    What would you like to see in a RPGNow Monthly Magazine?

    It's getting much harder for customers to navigate the RPGNow.com site and it's only going to get worse with the usual heavy flow of new products. Anyway, I'm trying to think of ways to reach more people (we'll be running a Dungeon ad shortly) but also ways to get our current customers to know...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Actually, due to the data I have to work with, it's just an indicator as to wether it sold more this month over last month. Not a true position change indicator. So Hal is right in his statement of what they are. For a true position velocity change indicator you'll have to look to the new...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    The reason being as that it's in a generic category and I can't really tell that it's a d20 system game with the query I use to generate that data. I'd have to create a Super Hero d20 category to get it to move. But I'll think on it. As for the name, you can change it yourself. Each vendor has...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Maybe not exactly what you're saying here, but what about a monthly E-Zine that has publisher features and highlights of new products and such. More then a newsletter or mailing, but something that requires an editor and maybe some unique content. Seems like an offical RPGNow PDF Magazine wuld...

    PDF sales figures (sorry, can't help it)

    While that's awesome and actually surprised me, you still have to keep in mind that RPGNow is responsible for less then half of Monte's e-book sales. They sell through White Wolf's site mainly. Monte has been very supportive of us and we return the favors when we can, but his e-sales figures for...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Re: Re: Re: Does this seem reasonable? No I meant the people out there buy all the print RPG books but don't know who the heck we are. We have a lot to offer them - from early editions of books to books they'll never see in their FLGS. So how do we get the people who frequent the FLGS to come...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Soon, not postive when I'll have final details. But hopefully this year yet. Waiting on a sample to arrive and to make final arrangments. All vendors who are willing to pre-pay for 10 copies of their product will be able to participate. We'll of course want a higher resolution PDF, but most...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Re: Does this seem reasonable? If there are only a small or definable changes for each setting, I'd suggest adopting a formating at that would indicate which genre a particular rule or note applies to and make one book. I'm all for splitting up large books into smaller ones as people don't...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Re: Sales Figures While I agree it's what people "want" to know, it's definatly not something I can or would make public. These numbers are private. But if you look above in this thread Morrus already as a lot of it assembled from guess work. James

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Well when you have a PDF that's over 5mb is size try paging around in it. Try one at 10mb. Ok, if it's 100 little ones is that any better? Now think about it on a slower computer with less memory then yours? As for the Acrobat comment... when it comes to advertising - the road to least...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Because large Acrobat files are slow to page around in. Plus I don't want to have to REQUIRE someone to install Acrobat just to see a catalog - even though it's simple and most probably have it. Also, I don't think it's going to be that simple to covert the site into a cross-linking index set of...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    I'm working on a full HTML version of the website that can run off a CD. Basically a complete catalog with active links to allow you to buy or view demos. Not sure if I can get search to work. The concept is that I can include this on other DEMO cd's or on Campaign Suite or things like that...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Re: Re: A4 vs. letter This is a misconception... RPGShop.com requires proof of card ownership, but RPGNow.com does not. Mainly cause if it's fraud we are only out processing charges and we can cancel the order and not pay the publisher. With RPGShop.com we sell physical product - with that...

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Go idea in general... but to do a blow in for Dragon or Dungeon you have to do so for all issues printed. That's 50,000 issues for Dragon. Even at that quantity it's going to cost at least $15,000 to make the CDs and that's if Dragon agrees to blow it in for free. Just not doable. Now if there...

    Re: Re: Re: Cool... Ok, consider it done. I added it and all publishers will have to update thier products to include a url to their demos, but eventually it'll look like this one: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=10& A button at the top and one next to the BUY button at...
