[QUOTE="EditorBFG, post: 3604056, member: 24719"] I can't listen to this podcast right now, but while it is true that Delta Green in hardcover was gonna sell out no matter what, I do wonder if the "d20 does not help sales" bit is influenced by Chaosium's "market data" on d20/CoC products. This would be bad, as Chaosium intentionally dropped the ball on Cthulhu dual-stat products, then claimed having d20 stats hurt sales. Their motivations appear to be: A) They get to say that d20 is bad (which they had said all along, since Dragonlords of Melnibone) and that their system rules. b) They hate money. I love BRP, but the folks who publish CoC seem a bit of touch. Hopefully, the Pagan guys aren't looking to the Chaosium leadership's financial acumen as an example. By the way, for anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area-- I saw a slightly damaged Delta Green hardcover at Games of Berkeley discounted down to 30 bucks. Looked fine other than a beat-up cover.
