Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Edgar" data-source="post: 426886" data-attributes="member: 7230">Did Necromancer Games ever make a profit on "The Crucible of Freya"?  I didn't think the $7.99 price tag would for the first run, but how about now?  I have to admit I bought it partly because of the price, but mostly because I liked the free download "The Wizard's Amulet".  When you do print runs, how many copies do you usually order?  What is a highly successful print run, like 10,000?  I would imagine Necromancer Games is turning a good profit by now, but if you're still keeping your day job then maybe not.  Do you ever expect to quit your day job?  Also, do you decide how many copies you want to print or work with the distributor?  As for the Tome of Horrors, I will definitely be buying a copy.  But I have to admit that I would have been a bit more hesitant if the price was $34.95 or $39.95 partly because I expect the quality of the paper and binding to not be as good compared to WOTC.  I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but that's my observation with most of the d20 stuff.  Anyhow, I don't really need the Tome of Horrors, I just want it.  I'm willing to pay $34.95 or more for a book if the paper and binding is good and I really like the material.  If not, I won't pay more than $29.95 and sometimes I just won't buy it.      By the way, I wonder why distributors don't like it when companies give a discount during GenCon but turn a blind eye to "deals" on the last day of the convention.  They should really allow a 10% discount to encourage promotion.  I know I'd buy more stuff at GenCon with a small motivation like that.  That's because I don't really have any other major reason to buy something at the convention when I can just wait until I get home to do so.  I guess you save the sales tax and can contribute to a company's direct sales, but that just doesn't justify more weight for me to carry back home on top of all the stuff I buy at the auction.</blockquote>
