Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart

If you want new books asap and not having to go through the whole pre-press process from start, using the old non-errata plates will speed things up remarkably. Then you only need a place in the print queue.

Considering that they just added some of the errata into the PDF but haven't had time to do all of them, I don't think they've had time to do the fix the next print runs.

If you want new books asap and not having to go through the whole pre-press process from start, using the old non-errata plates will speed things up remarkably. Then you only need a place in the print queue.

I guess I'm wondering at what point, regardless of errata being included, we would see an actual 2nd printing called out in the books. My understanding was after the 1st printing sold out... but I've been unable to find daggerheart books that are labeled as 2nd or 3rd printing. Have you seen any?
 

I did a business post-grad a long time ago. Supply and demand is tricky. The best possible result for a supplier is to sell out of all-but-one product. Then you know you met the potential demand with the minimal over production. If you sell out, you have no hard indication of how big the remaining market is - it could be one customer or 100,000. Assuming that your remaining untapped market is huge is dangerous since you could be left with significant unsold inventory.

So, they will be taking stabs at estimating their remaining potential sales every time they run out. They may be doing re-print runs smaller than the original print run since the remaining market is potentially smaller than the original estimate. So every re-print does not necessarily constitute another x1 adding to the original size of the run (x2, x3 etc.).
