I think this is ludicrously underpriced in light of the Oathbound and Book of the Righteous examples. I suspect that the content you've managed to align for that book will be the envy of _any_ d20 publisher, since it has a "built-in" audience far in excess of just about anything original a d20 publisher could hope to come up with. I strongly suspect that Tome of Horrors will be one of the best selling d20 products ever. Here's a question for you and I guess for everyone here. Would enough people who would pay $30 for a 400-page monster book featuring official D&D monsters from previous editions balk at paying $35 or even $40 for the same book that you would make less money overall by raising the retail price? I suspect the idea behind your company is not simply to "provide the gaming goods" to as many people as possible, or you would simply be charging cost to provide such a phenomenal value to your teeming fans. If more profit could be made by charging $35 or even $40 for the Tome of Horrors, don't you owe it to yourself, your contributors, and your investors to make the decision that will bring Necromancer the most money? If you charged more for your products and realized significantly more profit, don't you think it'd be easier to pay more than $.02 a word to the writers of your products? --Erik [/QUOTE]
