Sourcebook? Npcs? D20?  Something like, Crimson Contracts: d20 Assassin Guide might have been more descriptive to someone that knows nothing of your products.  Just my 2 cents there. <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=":)" />But back to the topic…  Darwin’s World (128) pages sells at $10 and does just fine. Blood and Space (117) pages sells at $8.95 and did very well for us.Also, there’s more than just price to consider.  Both those are sci-fi products and that means less sales than fantasy.  I have to consider that and price accordingly.  I’ve herd Jim Butler say several times to price the book so you can make a fair profit, and nothing less.   People are going to buy it if they want it.   Don't price gouge people, but don’t undersell either. A good example would be my GM Mastery books.  Those are more expensive for me to produce.  NPC Essentials was 80 pages for $9.  That’s a high price for the page count for sure, but I needed it at that price.  It didn’t affect sales one bit.  In fact, it was my highest selling first month for a product (over 170+). Of course Johnn Four’s name had a lot to do with that…BTW, I think your Deadly Games POD is way under price.  A print book of 96 pages is often 17.96-19.95.  I was shocked to see it at 13.95.  I think the POD stuff is near print quality. I think you should have priced it more in line with standard print books and put it on-sale for 13.95.  Again, just my 2 cents.</blockquote>
