[QUOTE="kristov, post: 169976, member: 1726"] [b]Internet sampling...[/b] Fact is, I think the hardcore rpg gamers that you will find on these message boards are far more likley to want to purchase something like GF and the fact that there is such a resounding refusal to pay the $20 for a random sampling of game material is bad news. I just want to say that I completely agree with the guy who said "Happy thoughts dont pay the bills" and I hope your next venture is better planned. To those who say "Im glad they are trying something new and brave" - Have you no concept of the way the real world works? I know virtually NO ONE who actually wants to read about 10 different d20 systems at once. Most people prefer a few different gaming systems at best. The magazine meets the needs of no one that I can think of unless they want to spend 20 bucks (17.95 + 8.25% sales tax here in Houston,Texas) for a "prestiege class" or a couple of monsters - at best a short module? I flipped through the magazine and thought that i could definately use a few of the pieces, but not even close to $20 dollars worth. The rest of the magazine could have been toilet paper for whats its worth to me. I imagine this is how it is for alot of the nay-sayers on this board. Anywayz, i know this isnt the most positive post - but sometimes you do need a healthy dose of reality before you morgage off the house in order to publish issue #3. -Kristov [/QUOTE]
