Cats,

I'll offer you my soul for it. Of course I have it on loan for several other beings...but hey! I REALLY want RARE. Like serious jonesing for it. (I got the PDF but the HC would be SOO much more fun/better.)

The main problem w/ WL was threefold
1) production costs were too high for the price-point (those bloody maps!)
2) we had to pay extra royalties (to Bob) beyond usual
3) we should have printed 1500, not 2500

These factors combined to create a nasty loss for us (well, in total, a basic breakeven on 2 years of work, though Bob did pretty well). That being said, I have never been prouder of a product we made, and its still the best campaign setting in history. Would I do it again? You bet, except I would have printed 1000, sent it out at $100, and made either full color or parchment maps.
It is one of my all time-favorite rpg products, any edition, period.

I would like to see the maps in a limited edition color version. that would rock.

Erik,

Those numbers do not include magazines, art books, miniatures products, or card products, just game books and book-based boxed sets (i.e., like Wilderlands and Known Realms). The numbers only include sales through brick and mortar hobby retail stores; they do not include sales through mass market stores like Barnes & Noble or Borders, nor Amazon or other online sales, nor convention sales, nor most especially direct sales from the publisher to consumers. In other words, only Shackled City and the Dragon Compendium are counted in Paizo's RPG figures, and only those that sold through a brick and mortar hobby retailer (products sold to consumers, not from publisher to distributor nor distributor to retailer; it does not count product still sitting on retailer's shelves). Both of Paizo's products that count toward these figures were released in 2005 (July and October, respectively). So only the "long tail" sales of these products would have counted in 2006.
 

By the way, Necro is working on something really big.

Reports of our death were greatly exaggerated.

Keep your shirts on. I think we just have something real BIG to report pretty soon. Fingers crossed. Don't jinx it. :)

But I am talking big splash.

If this comes through, you guys are going to freak...

...And the speculation roller coaster begins climbing the first hill. :p

I, for one, am ready and willing to freak on demand!

Good luck with whatever it is!
 


Wold it not be cool if WOTC distributed the NG adventures? Suddenly, Wizards would be publishing the best adventures in the industry.

That would rock.
