Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ranger REG" data-source="post: 2123975" data-attributes="member: 533">While that may be true now (having heard complaints from Dungeon readers when Dungeon & Polyhedron were married), the GM only represent an average 1-out-of-5 Player's Handbook owners (assuming I use a base typical gaming group consisting of 4 players and 1 GM).It's not profitable in the long run when you must consider making such a small print run.HOWEVER, when introducing a new [version of a] game, a publisher must consider providing adventure modules during the first 3-6 months of the core game product release, so new[-bie] owners can get a headstart in learning and enjoying the game. Call it an aggressive marketing tactic. New game + scenarios are usually guaranteed to be played almost immediately.With all due respect to ADB, they shouldn't have that high a goal, especially when it comes to roleplayers. Even if they are willing, such a goal to get lifestyle players is a long-term plan. Even D&D in its heyday -- before the other RPGs started coming out -- took a long while to build its own fanbase.Stick with a short-term goal (get trial players in), and then advance upward.With all due respect, publishing adventure modules would be considered an attraction for trial and regular players.The 2 sourcebooks -- Klingon and Romulan -- are geared toward regular and lifestyle players. And lifestyle players, well ... they may occasionally like adventure modules but I think at this stage the GM would rather be creating campaign and they're going to need how-to books or an interactive community to share ideas.</blockquote>
