Eden Studios Year in Review

[Eden Studios Inc]

2003 was our biggest year ever. We released 17 products during the year - almost double from the previous year. We saw major growth on all our RPG lines, mainly due to the success of the Buffy RPG and the release of the Angel RPG. All Flesh Must Be Eaten continues to sell strongly. We sold out of WitchCraft and then made the bold move to release the corebook out as a free PDF download as well as continuing to support the line with printed sourcebooks. Based on our sales, by unit, Unisystem continues to out sell our d20 products as well as seeing major growth in our monthly sales of our Unisystem products.

2004 will bring more Buffy and Angel goodness, as well as the eagerly awaited Army of Darkness RPG. We will see the relaunch of Conspiracy X under the Unisystem banner. Some new surprises are brewing as well. Some new licenses for the fall are in the works. And we cannot forget In The Pit, a new comic book that shows the dark humor behind our industry. Currenlty in the works is a new vehicle of support for Unisystem products entitled Eden Studios Presents. These sourcebooks will contain new material for all our Unisystem products - written by fans and industry professionals.

We are very happy with our fan support during the year and we plan to continue to produce the best possible products we can. Happy New Year to you all.

And now for some data.

Quick Question: What's the story with the french adventures? (Archipelago?)
Due dates passed, one listed as Available, but not listed for sale in the other section.
Are any available? When will they all be?

Thanks.

I was thrilled when the revised core rulebook for All Flesh Must Be Eaten that came out in 2003 included Modern SRD conversion notes, but I was disappointed to hear that the releases for AFMBE that followed did not include dual stats. If you have no plans to dual stat for Modern SRD compatibility in future AFMBE releases, have you considered Web enhancements that do so for these products? I would definitely pick up the titles if I could use them with the revised AFMBE core rulebook I purchased and my d20 Modern games.

Anyhow, congratulations on a successful year!

The first one is indeed out. I know because I edited it, and I have a copy. The next? My guess is maybe February.

Unfortunately, I'm waiting patiently to hear myself. I've done all I can do to it; It's all in George's hands now.
