When we brought "The Kid's Colouring Book o Critters" to GenCon, it was designed as a digest-sized saddle-stitched product. When we began upgrading the material therein for the Celebrity Edition release, we elected to stay with the landscape format, just merging two pages from the digest into single landscape page for the Celebrity Edition PDF.
The reaction has been quite positive (although sales have been quite minimal), to the product (of course, it's the cutest thing we've ever released!) and to the layout and format.
Beacuse of this response, and the response to the SpiderBite Games releases in landscape format also, we are releasing Three Arrows for the King in both Landscape and Portrait versions. The Landscape version will be the "screen" version with all the pretty formatting, extensive bookmarking and pictures, and the portrait version will have significantly reduced art content, less graphical design elements (although it won't be a "bare bones" production - it will still have some art and graphical elements, just designed for ease of printing in B&W without chewing through your ink cartridge) and will be primarily designed for printing.
(As an aside: I actually really enjoy landscape formatted works when printed. I like the style when placed in a small spiral binding or three-ring binder, reading it at 90 degrees to how one reads a typical book)
Oh yeah, we are also dealing with the cover artist to see if we'll include a specific cover for the landscape edition, or just use the same portrait cover at the front of the document.
Three Arrows for the King is our upcoming release regarding archery and archers for the d20 system. It includes an archer core class, a significantly retooled archer-ranger variant core class (including a selection of new archer-ranger spells), several prestige classes (including one by Hong Ooi), archer multi-class paths, over a score of archery and missile-combat oriented feats, new uses for skills, new equipment and weapons for archers including a large selection of "exotic arrows", and a selection of new magic items.
Three Arrows for the King is currently slated for release in the third week of February, and will be available for sale at Ambient Inc.'s on-line storefront at RPGnow.
Ambient Inc. is a proud member of the digital publisher's group and will be releasing this product in PDF format with a POD (Print On Demand) version available shortly thereafter.
