[QUOTE="Prest0, post: 2072065, member: 13621"] First, I need to make something very clear. This is not a rant, and it’s not meant to sound like whining. I’m writing this in the spirit of market research, and I hope that is the way everyone reads it. Every now and then someone poses a question on these forums about d20 horror. Maybe it is a post asking for a list of resources, or maybe it just laments the general lack of support material out there for horror adventures. Inevitably someone else responds with a list of supplements, adventures, etc. [I]Most of the time nobody mentions our company in those lists[/I], so the purpose of this post is to ask your help in identifying why. After all, if we don’t know the root of the problem, how can we go about fixing it? First of all, if you buy horror adventures, have you heard of [URL=http://www.12tomidnight.com]12 to Midnight[/URL]? If you haven’t even heard of us, then we know where to focus our efforts. If you’ve heard of us, what do you know about us? Have you looked into any of our adventures? Visited our website? If so, was there something that turned you off? Is the pricing a factor? Is the PDF format a deal-stopper? Or do we simply fly under the radar? Four titles in a year and a half is an abysmal production record, so it’s understandable if you know who we are but simply forget about us in the drought periods between releases. In more general terms (and something useful to the forum community at large), what things do you look for when you’re shopping for horror RPG material? Do you only buy from publishers you’ve already done business with? Do you only buy print products? Do you only buy adventures, or only GM aids? Do you only buy from licensed lines Cthulhu, Hellboy, or Buffy? What does it take before you go out on a limb and spend money on an unknown? Again, please don’t read this post as whining or ranting. We want to make a genuine effort to improve our visibility, and understanding our deficiencies is the first step. Please help us, and in return you’ll ensure the survival of another source for modern horror material. As long as we are around, we will continue to publish high-quality products and make available the free campaign setting, maps, mp3s, and adventure outlines on our website. Thanks, -Preston [/QUOTE]
