If they have need for a RESTful web service Java developer... or, someone who can throw out wild speculation ;)

But, we are talking PDF versions here. They would obviously be taking a loss on each sale. And, I would be quite surprised if they didn't get more than twice the sales at half the price. I certainly don't know anyone who would drop $100 on the PDF. I have 10,684 files under my RPG folder...

Admittedly, I have not produced a PDF and attempted to sell it... but, from the consumer point of view, I am saying that my likelihood of buying a product is non-linear. If I am interested in something, I am probably (more than) 5x likely to buy a PDF for $50 as I am to buy it at $100. Based...

I think we are saying the same thing. This is what I meant by saying that they are trying to create a "status" RPG. I don't think their price point was set where it was in order to make more money.

I am not sure that argument really works with PDFs. Once the PDF has been created, then it costs them virtually zero to "produce" more and send it out... assuming they are selling it through their own site. If they were to charge $50 instead of $100, they may get 5x as many sales (guestimate...

Wouldn't that be May 8th? Or, is it on Thursday?

Interesting... I had not heard of WG4. But, after reading a summary of it, an S4 + WG4 combination would be very interesting.

I am not a fan of paying for other things (especially things that require a subscription) to get online access to the material... but DnDBeyond is good enough that it got me to break with tradition and subscribe... at the Master tier even. However, even at the free tier, you can purchase and...

I wish they would add these to D&D Beyond.

Well, regardless... I am just happy to see the entire RPG industry doing well. I am also glad to see my kids and their friends get into D&D and enjoy it the way I did back in the 80s. It's a win all around.

I have a stack of D&D material that was published before WotC even existed... if I were still playing from the material, would I not be a D&D fan? As it turns out, I personally play 5e and got 3 kids into 5e who in turn got their friends into 5e... so, I am personally represented in both sets...

My point is, you could be a grognard playing C&C but be a "fan" of D&D and not be included in their statistics... You can be a fan of multiple systems... even without playing all of them. Someone playing AD&D is obviously a D&D fan, but probably not included in the WotC numbers.

Wait... their metric wasn't defined, but now it is? A D&D "fan" may not even be a player...

I would suspect that grognards (not even sure what that means exactly) are under-represented in both sets of statistics. I would suspect many would be playing OSR based RPGs (Pathfinder, DCC, Castles and Crusades, or other), so would not show up in WotC numbers. And, the old players are...

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing the news about The Lost City. I somehow completely missed the Castle Amber announcement. I'll definitely be buying all of these.

So, I have 1, 2, & 3 already... and this will be #6... what are 4 & 5 again?

I just backed Twilight Dream... sounds interesting. I am backing Lost Menagerie as well...

I marked The Twilight Dream to remind me... after a quick look, it seems interesting. Will have to circle back to read it more thoroughly when I have more time.

Thanks for posting this. I look forward to the coming articles about this as well. I backed this kickstarter, so have the book... though, I haven't gotten far in reading it yet. Reading these summaries will make reading the book more meaningful. Having the overview really helps while reading...

Unfortunately, my "local" game store is about 30 miles away in the middle of a big city. As much as I would like to drive down there to browse, I probably won't get there for a while :(. And, unfortunately, they don't have much of an online presence.
