Goodman Games 3.5 Revival

[EricNoah]

Whatever the reason it's good news.

Other than WotC, Goodman is pretty much the only print 4E adventure game in town right now, aren't they?

Expeditious Retreat Press has published 5 or 6 modules in their 4E "Land of Darkness" series. I've seen them at several FLGS in town.

Yeah, I've seen XRP's published adventures, as well as Mongoose Games's, in support of their Wraith Recon line.

It's already done, after all, and not giving people the option of buying it is only costing them money.

Funny... for some reason I think that argument could be made about other PDFs as well...

Open Design's 4E Halls of the Mountain King will also be available in a limited print edition, like prior adventures.

And the Iron Gazetteer for 4E will be available in a normal print edition. EDIT TO ADD: Though that's not an adventure, of course.

Yeah, I've seen XRP's published adventures, as well as Mongoose Games's, in support of their Wraith Recon line.

Goodman has done 9, XRP 7, so yeah, those two are pretty much it.

I wouldn't count Mongoose or Open Design as significant 4E adventure contributors at this point. (Mongoose has done 2 total, and Open Design has only released 1 as of right now, correct?)

According to your source, does non-WotC 3e/3.5e stuff sell any better than non-WotC 4E stuff?

My source is not omniscient and can't speak for everyone's sales. They also have no information on non WotC 3e sales.

 

[cangrejoide]

My source tells me not that great.

After the OGL 3E 3pp product bloat a lot of people are wary to ever buy the non-Wotc stuff. Sadly this sentiment seems to have carried over to 4E, it may take some time until tje market regains faith in 3pp products. ( Even though some of them are very good, the prejudice is still there )

Well, it is literally a revival (the line was dead and is being revived) but I think the question is how much Goodman can expect from this? Are there enough 3.XE players still out there (or new) who have not been previously reached by their products?

There are certainly some of us still here! And I seriously doubt whether I am the ONLY ONE who plays both 4E and 3.5E every chance I get! (Double the editions, double the fun!)

 

[Leif]

It is interesting that Goodman feels comfortable dividing its resources among the editions in such a manner. I wonder how popular non-WotC 4E products tend to be?

Are there any? I have yet to see one. (Guess I need to pay more attention, don't I?)
