How Many Product do you plan to release this year?

[lmpjr007]

This is a little question to all you publishers out there. After following Phil Reed's "School of PDF Publishing" in 2004, we released 101 products last year. Not to be out done this year we are going to raise the bar and ATTEMPT ( I said attempt) to release 150 products in the year of 2005. We are off to a good start and have already released 2 products. So lets here it from you publishers, what are your goals for this year?

The Clockwork Golem Workshop is aiming for at least 52 products between February and December 2005.

Possibly ambitious for being one of the new guys, but I figure it's best to think big

We'll be no where near either of those numbers (especially since we're new, and don't even have anything out yet!), but I plan to release 15-20 products this year (two bigger products, the rest 6-10 pages). Still, time will tell!

Cheers,
Jason

We'll probabaly put out, oh... 30pdfs this year and probably 5-6 books.

I need to make a "2005 with Expeditious Retreat Press" post I suppose...

I expect Ronin Arts will release 200-300 PDFs in 2005. I was slow last year due to a day job and building up speed and a publishing system.

2005 is shaping up to be a great year for us. We are working with several freelancers so we'll be publishing much more than in first our year and a half of existence. Even so, if it wasn't for Modern Dispatch we probably wouldn't expect to hit double-digits this year. However, I don't think any of us have a problem with that. We LIKE publishing adventures. Between Phil and Louis, gamers will have plenty of short, high-quality PDFs to choose from. We'll keep working on the longer projects.

Three to four at least, I hope. I know that sounds like a sales plan from 2003, not 2005, but since my current total is zero....

Now, what I don't know is whether I'll release them or I'll be able to work out a deal with someone else. Have to wrap up my freelance work first, then wrap up my own stuff, then see where I am.

Nothing for a few months, anyways.

Cheers
Nell.

Hard to tell at the moment, since we're both starting out and trying out a few things out.

I'd say original HMP products, I'm expecting to do at least 15 for the year, and if more, then better. We'll also be bringing more MonkeyGod products to PDF this year, and though I'm dependent on the MGE guys to send the stuff, I'm hoping we can have their full catalog out by year's end, if not before.

I'm also hoping to get to try out new horizons for HMP which are not necessarily gaming-related, but we'll see about that.

I'm excited about 2005, both for myself and my company, and for all of you PDF publishers as well (after all, I do buy your stuff, too!).

The Dog House Gang's goal is to publish exactly 1 PDF this year. Anything above and beyond that and we've surpassed our quota and it's all gravy. Oh yea, graaaaavy baby.

Well if you ever want to do a Horror style adventure in Haven (DROPPING HINT HERE) we would be interested in speaking on it.
