[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8692160, member: 19857"] It makes sense in retrospect that even a monthly release schedule would lead to a lot of bad outcomes - for completists its hard to keep up, for regular players/GMs you don't have time to integrate the material from one month before another book is dropping, and once you've fallen off the monthly release train it becomes easier to just skip them. On the creation side the pressure to create products on a schedule like that has to be brutal and expensive, and then when it only really sells for a few months at most before trickling down to nothing it has to be discouraging too. That doesn't mean that it's obvious that moving to fewer products per year would lead to a longer and fatter tail for those products, but I can see how it would work. [/QUOTE]
