Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gargoyle" data-source="post: 137671" data-attributes="member: 529">Thanks for the feedback Psion! I'll respond below.1) Writing core classes, prestige classes and feats does take more playtesting (and therefore more development time) than an adventure, if you want to do it right.  Adventures certainly need to be playtested, but the DM has more work to do with a poorly playtested sourcebook.2) I agree somewhat, the only reason I did so was to explain why you'll never see Beyond Monks for $8.00 in print.  Wizards of the Coast will sometimes order larger print runs to reduce the price of a product they know will sell; that's why the PHB was so cheap initially.  But I was talking about my company.  You can compare the costs of PDFs to printed products, but you have to realize that it's a very complex comparison, as you've pointed out.3) You're right of course, BOEM II and Wild Spellcraft are certainly great products with better interior art and cheaper.  And this point is definitely the most valid.  I made a business decision to price Beyond Monks at what we thought it was worth, rather than what our competitors are priced at.   Whether it was a bad decision or not, I'm not sure yet.  Beyond Monks is at #17 on the rpgnow.com bestseller list.  If sales drop off, then probably I've made a mistake.  If they continue to be strong, then I have to believe that I've made the right decision and that BOEM II and Wild Spellcraft may be underpriced.Again, thanks for buying the book and for your comments!</blockquote>
