[QUOTE="malladin, post: 829822, member: 8230"] I think the PDF market has moved on significantly in just the last 6 months. When we started, Forgotten Heroes: Paladin did really well with no art, but our later products, with some if not great art content, have failed to match that, drawing comments that they need more work on the art side. Joe's Enchanters came out at a similar time and has been recieved similarly well. The PDF marked has just plain exploded of late, with Mongoose, Mystic Eye and Wizards all coming into the field. This makes it harder for little guys like us to compete, and means that people are starting to expect a much higher standard from their PDF. It's hard when you're on a tight budget to compete with this. Libram Equitus and Beyond Monks did very well in the early days, but you get shifted off that front screen so quickly now that your sales are not likely to be as big as these earlier products even if the quality is better. My personal view is that us little guys need to team up together for marketting purposes and try and expand the general interest in our tier of the market, rather than trying to out compete each other. James - what do you think about a combined Paladin sourcebook, containing material from Call to Duty and FH Paladin? cheerio, Ben, Malladin's Gate [/QUOTE]
