market research for horror gamers

[one-end]

Well ive heard of you. I had no idea what you sold to be quite honest. But if you want opinions im happy to offer mine.
PDF's arent my style, I like having the book right in front of me and be able to read it in bed before i go to sleep.
Paying for something that has no package or anything tangible is just irritating for me, i understand your a business and your trying to make money but to be honest im not spending money on computer code without something i can touch coming with it ( one of the reasons i bought NWN at the store and didnt pay less online for a download).
Since ive never read your books i cant have an opinion on your style of horror, but i can tell you that while im a fan of cthulhuesque games i already own actual cthulhu products and dont really need clones, but if you have a buffy, friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street or a hellraiser feel then you might have yourself another customer.
Are all your produts d20 modern or could say they fit in with Forgotten Realms ( the game i run) and still be scary in a world with Dragons, Beholders and Mind Flayers.

Hey Arashi,

I can understand wanting to be able to read the book in bed, ect. Why not print out the PDF? That is what I do. All good PDF's for sale have both a screen edition and a print version. Though I find you can often print out the screen version just fine in most cases.

Hey Preston.
Have you guys thought about leaving the sidebars in your print versions? Then your print versions would be perfect in my opinion.

Wraith, the businessman side of me is certainly glad you're eager to check out Bloodlines. On the other hand, I'm a fiscal conservative at heart so part of me cringes when I hear you are willing to stretch the pocketbook a bit on our account. I really appreciate your support and I WANT you to try Bloodlines, but it's not going anywhere. We'll be just as appreciative of your business two or three months from now as we would be today. Just don't forget about us in the meantime.

Forget about y'all? Not a chance! ...And if I'm going to spend the $$, I'm going to get PDFs as well as print products!

The greatest compliment I think I can give you is to compare you (favorably) to Pagan Publishing, hands-down my favorite series of authors/editors on the planet, evar! Since they seem to have dried up & blown away (apparently Pagan head John Tynes has left the RPG-writing business), I'd be happy to have 12-t-M fill the spot...so please, feel free to strive for "Pagan status"!

Never heard of you guys before, plus my horror fix is with Ravenloft. Doesn't sound like your products would fit into Ravenloft, but if they would I would love to buy modules. I love buying modules, just ask Necromancer, Monkeygod, and Goodman games. And Kenzer.

A deal for Enworld folks....

Thanks everyone for the great replys. We've gone over each of them and are looking to correct some things and work harder at others. We don't generally have sales except for Halloween, but I'll make this deal with ya'll. If you buy Bloodlines at RPGNow between now and March 21st ($10.00), then send me an email saying you are from ENWorld forums, I'll send you your choice of Weekend Warriors, Last Rites of the Black Guard, or Innana's Kiss for free. That's two pdf's for $10.00! Bloodlines is a mini campaign with over a hundred pages of horrific goodness, and is IMHO the best of ANY horror adventures to be found.

We are going to attempt more updates of the website, create more freebies, and become more of a presence here on the ENWorld forums.

If you have any other thoughts that could help us better serve the modern horror/Cthulu type community, please let us know. They are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Yes, Ed is serious. Possibly crazy, but serious.
