Message: <blockquote data-quote="WilliamAndersen" data-source="post: 2672625" data-attributes="member: 34885">Gareth,First, thank you for donating your company's September sales to hurricane relief.  Our fiction division has two authors that have made homeless as a result of the storm, and we have all heard the horror stories of people left with nothing.  It is very good of many members of the gaming community to step in and let our industry help those that need it.  While every bit helps, I don't know of too many that are donating 100% of a month's revenue.  So, thank you!I can certainly understand your decision to wait and see what effect this opening has on your sales at other sites (such as RPGNow).  As I sit here tonight, I am on the fence of whether to sign on with the Enworld shop (as I believe many other publishers are).As you know, a lot of Enworld community members do their pdf shopping at RPGNow.  My suspicion (and I could be wrong, certainly) is that many of those member will stay and do their shopping here (to support Enworld, or for the ease of 'one click' to get to the storefront as some publishers post links to their Enworld storefront in their press releases, etc).  It could be that Enworld will not be delivering as many 'new' customers as you would like to see, but do you believe that they will deliver some of your old customers that may stick around here?  Or customers that are browse shoppers that will not come across products that are not here?I know that Enworld will have to get a strong line-up of publishers (and, looking at their list of publishers, they are off to a very good start... the publishers on their line up that I am familiar with make some pretty darn good products) to be able to provide strong selection, but I would be interested in yours (or any of the experienced publishers) thoughts on what effect this could have on whether signing on to be a vendor here can keep some of the 'old customers' that used to go to RPGNow (rather than just focussing upon the 'new customers' it can or can't bring in).Any thoughts are appreciated...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Sincerely,WilliamComStar Media, LLC<a href="http://www.comstar-media.com" target="_blank">http://www.comstar-media.com</a><a href="http://www.comstar-games.com" target="_blank">http://www.comstar-games.com</a></blockquote>
