Some may scoff at a #9,364 ranking, but it is a very good number for an RPG. At least I'm happy.

For some reason, the ranking seems to alternate between last week's figure and this week's figure, but it is #9,364.

Thanks so much, Joe! It's always nice to have the support of fellow publishers.

You know I love your book "A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe" and I was just looking at it today, in fact. I know it was a huge success at Gen Con! I was glad to pick up my copy.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy that you enjoy the book! I'm also glad to hear sales are increasing.

Restocks these days for most RPG books are dwindling which is VERY bad for the industry. It's just not possible to produce high-quality products when most of your sales come in during the first 60 days. Hopefully, people will buy stuff long after they're released. We need this in order to bring good books to readers.

"World of Whitethorn 1B: The Hamlet of Thumble" is still very new, but I'd like it to be a steady seller. I also wish for products from other companies to continue to sell well!

Why not produce a good (but short) introductionary adventure for these adventures that's free to download. Then if people want more they can buy the 'big' sequal adventure. Make it a 16 pager that could fill a 4 hour gaming session and you'll have a good intro for new folks that haven't bought your adventures.

When i go to your home page i don't see as much info on each adventure as i would like (more importantly, nothing really that would make me interested in the adventure). Only by scrolling down the page and reading lots of text do i find such things as previews and even a description or two. Redo your homepage i would say.

That's a good idea. I think we should have some kind of a small download as a teaser. It's also good to provide free material as a service to the community. I'll look into it. Do you know a lot about posting downloads?

What kind of specific suggestions do you have for the Web site? I was just thinking the same thing, too. There's a lot of little bits of information, but I haven't compiled too much there. I think, first, we'll need to put up some better description for 1B. But what else would you recommend?

I appreciate your feedback!
