[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1769351, member: 1254"] Saturn- One of the reasons early products had more web stuff is because that was stuff that we wrote that we couldnt fit in the book. Bill and I were horrible about keeping in our page count. We always over-wrote. Since we had to cut to keep the product inside the size that we had budgeted, we ended up with extra content. Now, we could have just dumped that stuff or charged for it. But we said, hey what the heck, lets just give it away. Now, after some time in the "biz" Bill and I and our professional authors are much better at restraining ourselves and keeping inside page count. Also, our books got bigger too. That is why there is less stuff now and why the early stuff seemed so much more "essential". Because it was. It was literally supposed to be part of the book, but we had to cut it. So we gave it away for free. Or, best of all, the Crucible freebie of extra adventures. I just went nuts with that. Now we just dont have the time to do that. Clark [/QUOTE]
