D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e Publishing Models in a 4e world

[Bacris]

My sales haven't dropped by 80% - far from it. And we haven't branched out past d20 3.5 yet.

In fact, it seems that as more and more information on 4E comes out, sales start returning more and more back to their pre-4E announcement state.

I don't know if that's because psionic fans aren't getting any love or we're just putting out products people want, or more people are finding out about us, but month after month since the 4E announcement, our sales have been climbing back up to right around where they were prior to August 07... which is going to help fund some really kickass projects we've been wanting to do for a while.

I have to agree - sales are increasing again. They're not back up to pre-August levels, but they're a LOT better than they were in September/October. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Do you have any ideas on how to promote the campaign saga as a good way to end 3e? Bonus points if you can do it without making people unwilling to buy a 4e conversion of it.

When your sales are down 80%, ANY way will work. "Finish 3.5 with a bang!", "The War has consequences," or anything else to suggest that GMs can use WotBS as a device to end the 3.5 rules and introduce a 4E game. Not that they have to, but that it's an option for anyone looking to wrap up their campaign that way.

I don't know if I should says thanks or sorry since I'm the reason ENArsenal never had a spears book. I never did finish writing that thing.

Never knew that little tidbit, I really can't say enough good things about the series. Each offered different styles of the weapon, prestige classes, spells, divine material and feats. Complete coverage of the topic in question, so no matter what I would find something I could use in my game.
