dual stats are fine with me But Chaosium isn't even dual-stating their new products or printings of older products. Just those in their "Pulp Cthulhu" line. Silly, and a dumb business decision in general.

Yeah. Maybe a CoC BRP boycott will catch their attention :) Well, ok, I'm not calling for a boycott. If they don't have what you want, don't buy. I'm certainly not buying. I'm now going to convert all the old CoC adventures I have laying around.

Storminator writes: Well, think about it. For $10 you get a 32 page module. For $20, you get a 96 page splat book. For $40, you get a 320 page campaign setting in hardcover. So for 4 times more money, you get 10 times more product. That's about right. So, for $100 product, you should get a...

yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I've own the 4th edition CoC. Couldn't get anyone to play. With d20 CoC, with only a little prodding on my part, half the group has gone out and bought the book! One of the other players (who has never GM'd before) is running a 2-night adventure! It's so worth...

you paid $60 for the core rules? I paid $42. ($14 each at Amazon.com) But if you've spent $100 on non-core stuff over the last year, and a product came out that was more desirable and useful than what that $100 bought you, wouldn't you save up for it, rather than buying say, useless splatbooks...

d20 CoC Well, if they had competition, they wouldn't be taking their own sweet time. Competition is good for the consumer, and good for the customer, so I wish Chaosium had some competition in producing d20 CoC adventures and supplements. Think about it this way: if they really supported d20...

levels, customer bases, and the d20 license Joshua writes: This is absolutely not true. I've certainly read Anthony Valterra or Ryan Dancey on these very boards say that D&D is so big that there's no way they could grow by taking market share away from the other RPGs, so they HAVE to grow the...

sophisticated ready made adventures Oh, and I disagree that a sophisticated ready made campaign can't be done for plot purposes. Take a look at say, Masks of Nylarthoetep, for instance. The typical page count for a $28 adventure like Return to Temple of Elemental Evil is 192. For a $100...

extras vs. product I don't see minis as being a big draw, personally. I think that they require too much work if they require painting, and if they don't require painting, then they are likely to be plastic and not that attractive. I think counters, voice-CDs, soundtracks, tactical maps that...

I don't think Chaosium is serious about the d20 market They have a monopoly on CoC d20 supplements, so they can take their own sweet time to come out with stuff for the d20 market without worrying about the competition eating their lunch. No-one else can publish adventures for CoC d20, for...

Expanding the market vs. raising prices I agree that expanding the market would be great, but I don't really see RPGs ever being that big. They're not like cars or phones, where nearly everyone in the country would need/want one. The other thing is that WoTC is the only company that can really...

products worth $100 That's interesting to hear. Here's the deal. If you bought all 5 splatbooks, that's $100 retail, right? How much use did you really get out of it? A mega-campaign with all the bells and whistles, if you played it straight through, you'd get use out of it every game session...

I'm disappointed Here I am, trying to get you folks to talk about what would be worth $100 in a gaming product (I've already talked about what would tickle my fancy), and nobody chimes in. Instead, it's all about building the RPG market (a nice topic in itself, but irrelevant to product...

thanks! Don't look for me to do mine soon (I'm down to the last few pages of ToEE), but I'll get cranking on it before September, I think.

More ideas for high value products... Ok, I'll admit that you wouldn't have to do everything on my wish-list to pry a large amount of money off my wallet. (Plus, I expect that at a $100 price-point, I'd be able to get it from Amazon for $66, which is still less than a console video game, for a...

Godlike I don't need to deal with another system. It's OGL, but not d20. I'll wait for a real d20 superheroes effort. Besides, I have my hands full with CoC d20 for now. :) I think that if I'm going venture away from d20, it'd have to be something really different. Nobilis, for instance.

all writer salaries? I don't care about all of the writers' salaries! Those who don't write successful products shouldn't get much money, if any. But the ones that are successful should be really successful! I don't mean rock-star successful --- the market just won't support that, but maybe...

what could be worth $100 to me... A full length campaign, starting from 1st level, ending at say, 20th, enough for 1 year of weekly play. It would have a detailed home base for the players, suggested backgrounds for players, and a sound, sensible system of selling, making magic items, and a...

buying d20 only I'm now buying only d20 books, etc. I have in my collection, GURPS, Shadowrun (1st ed), Teenagers from Outer Space, Call of Cthulhu (4th edition), Ars Magica (3rd edition), but you know what, none of them ever got played. With the arrival of CoC d20, one of the other players in...
