Monte Cook's new Dungeonaday.com?

[Noumenon]

I would subscribe quarterly if I were allowed to cancel after that quarter. $27 is not too much up front. If it's worth it, I'll know by then and can go for the yearly rate.

I'm pretty sure that it works that way.

You can pay for it quarterly for I think it was 27$ and have it come off automatically (or monthly, but at a higher rate ($10)), though the yearly price is going to rise to $96 after a while.

I'm not sure that he is planning on doing a compilation (he has replied that he isn't in the member forums). The idea is that the site is a platform for using during the planning or even during the session rather than in a compiled format.

Yeah.... about that...

He's left the RPG industry a few times now. "Ah, one more PDF. That went well. Another PDF. Hey, Paizo, let's put together a hardcover of this material." So yeah, I suspect we'll see, maybe a year or two down the road, a Pazio published full color book that has some... inpsiration coming from this. Heck, maybe even some Kobold Design style mini-PDF's from it. Monte's not going to let potential work not be put to all of it's uses in the name of exclusitivity I believe. (and I could be 100% wrong about that!)

I hope he does do it (put out a hardcover of this when it is done).

I'm really enjoying watching Wolfgang Baur's Open Design project "Halls of the Mountain King" come into existence and grow. I'll be stoked to have a copy of it when it is all done.

Same for Monte. I'm planning on subscribing for the year. What will make me sad is if I have to keep paying forever to not lose the neat stuff there. I'm going to want to revisit it 10 years down the road, and I'll want to be able to do so without paying $7 a month for 10 years.


But as stated, Monte does have a pattern of changing his mind and releasing material in multiple media.

There was the Delver's Guild pdf, which was supposed to be limited only to Ptolus preorders, if I recall correctly (and I may not, I wasn't in on this way back then, so I don't know for sure).


In any case, I guess my point is that I will subscribe AND I want a hardcover version of it when it is all said and done...or even several hardcovers or softcovers or pdfs released as levels are completed.

 

[Noumenon]

I'm sorry, I misread the subscription plan in my own unique way and got the impression it was all yearly subscriptions, no true month-to-month. It's fine.

 

[Erekose13]

Too true, he does release things if there is enough call for it from the community. I think the Spell Treasury was another one that people were calling for and so he went and did it. The Delver's Guild stuff was just for us preorder people, but I'm glad that everyone had a chance to buy it a year or so down the road. I'm always against closed content being closed for ever and I'm glad that Wolfgang keeps past projects open to the patrons of the next project as that allows at least a few more people to get in on the goodness.

I really have no idea why I can't post to his forums. I even tried from IE also, but the exact same thing happened.

Monte's been great about trying to help me out. He got back to me real fast when I emailed him about what was happening, but neither he nor I are sure what's going on in this regard, and it's frustrating because I really want to post in the forums there.

I'm happy to report that I'm now able to post in the forums!

I really want to thank Monte for all the help he provided in fixing this issue for me. A lot of companies, and people, I know wouldn't have gone to so much trouble for one customer with a relatively minor problem, but Monte stayed with it, contacting his provider multiple times until things were fixed. He really went the distance, and it makes me happy to be a part of the new community he's building.
