[QUOTE="Setanta, post: 268328, member: 2183"] Agreed, though it is easier if an adventure you'd like to buy and/or run is written for your system of choice. However, given how easy it is convert, what's the point of dual-statting for a system that has relatively small market share? This particular adventure's price is already a bit on the high-side, before losing 5 pages to LA stats and another page to Erde placement. I'm guessing that that is due in part to EGG deservedly making more than other, less accomplished writers. Not at all. If there are two adventures of equal quality, at the same page count and price, then which is the better value- the one that only has stats for the system of your choice, or the one that has dual-stats with one set of stats being for a system you don't play? There are plenty of good or even great adventures out there at reasonable prices. I'd be very surprised if it tanks, given the by-line. People will buy it for no other reason than the author. Was it ever produced as an LA adventure? If so, what's the point of reproducing the LA stats here? I agree. At this point, I only play D&D, but in previous times I played many other systems. I would have been very happy to buy modules for other systems with web enhancements for my system of choice. I think it would have been really cool for TLG to provide 64 pages of D20 material in The Hermit, and a web enhancement for LA stats. I still wouldn't have bought it though ($14 for 64 pages is still too much, IMHO, and I'm not short on adventures to run right now). Well, I certainly don't know either. However, I do know that there was [i]a lot[/i] of complaining about the price of Canting Crew, here at EN World and other places. The complaints often included comments about all the "wasted" LA pages. However, again I'd be surprised if it didn't sell at least reasonably well given the author. [/QUOTE]
