[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1861225, member: 1129"] 1. It's expensive. It was more expensive for it's time than people are willing to pay. The switch to b&w art with minimal price drops didn't help either. 2. Art. I didn't mind the art but a lot of people did. I've mentioned it several times that art helps sell and people keep looking at me like I'm crazy. "but I want it in 8 point font with three columns on newspaper to save a dollar!" 3. Pennance: Way too much detail on that one part of the setting. 4. Metaplot: way too much hand holding in the background present in the adventures. 5. Trapped! Not everyone likes settings like Dungeonworld and Ravenloft and Oathbound has that feeling about it. Heck, do you see a lot of talk about those two settings? Nope. 6. Reuse: Some people like the races but I couldn't stand a lot of them. Too many human animals that appeared in Minions and some of them, like the Ceptu, should be rolled in bread crumbs and fried in olive oil for 10-15 minutes per pound. [/QUOTE]
