[QUOTE="LegendaryGames, post: 8050574, member: 6775678"] Good question. We're kind of near the tipping point for that decision. The price differential between POD and a full print run makes it so that if you're looking at needing more than around 300-350 copies (depending on a variety of factors) it's cheaper to buy 1000 copies of a print run than just the amount you need in POD. I think we had around 254 5E print backers initially and we've had some adding it in preorder or in add-ons in Backerkit, but we're still somewhere in the 270s. At that number, we'd be kind of rolling the dice on what the after-market for the adventure path book would be, because we'd be relying on aftermarket sales to make up the difference. We'll see how it shakes out and talk to our distributors and see. The COVID situation has obviously made things tougher in terms of stores being able to sell product, so the marketplace is less predictable than it used to be in terms of what's likely to sell, and as a small company you have to be careful. So, TL;DR - We're not sure at this point. I will say the POD books are [I]way[/I] better today than they were even just a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
