[QUOTE="Troll Lord, post: 200180, member: 1163"] [b]On the Subject of Pricing[/b] Hey all and hello, Foremost, thanks for the rapid defense Hal and Nathan and thanks for the all the kind words everyone else. I knew the question of text density, pricing and spacing would all come up, so I'm here to chime in my own 2 cents worth. As the publisher, and personally, as the one who made the final decision on the pricing, this is all on me. :rolleyes: As for pricing, it is right on par with other books of a similar size that DON'T have maps in them. If we had left out the double sided 16 x 21 map we could have easiliy priced the puppy at $29.95, which would make the page count/price point about equal to everyone else out there. But, well hell, that didn't make any sense. Even putting the map inside the text didn't really make sense as you couldn't use it for any practical purpose. As it is now, you have a full map for your gaming needs. All your setting needs is a river and the city of Ludnum is good to go. I'm not going to address text density too much as that is a personal thing. I know that some reviewers and gamers have come to recognize a densely packed page as being essential to a products' value, but I for one don't really follow this. Each book's contents and formatting should be judged separately and the contents have little to do with how much is on a page. But as ma always said, to each his own. And just to let you know, there are no "white spaces" in all of the Canting Crew......the pages are tinted... :eek: :D just kidding. Steve [/QUOTE]
