When I say standard, I mean 48 to 96 page adventures. There isnt much market for 32 pagers anymore, it doesnt seem. It is too hard to compete with Dungeon Magazine in that regard. With our distribution, we are always at the high end of the above range (or more). 5000 copies is certainly a big success. Over 5000 copies is a smash hit for anything but the high profile hardback.Tales of selling 10000+ copies are from the early days of d20 and just dont happen any more (except for perhaps a Tome of Horrors or Necropolis, or other real high profile hardback). I would presume a Freeport hardback would also come close to or exceed those numbers. But that is an established product line with an established history of good products behind it.For a new publisher, IMHO, you should plan to sell 1500 to 3000 (max) copies of a standard adventure.As for making 50,000 a year, I wouldnt bet on that, unless you change your name to Monte Cook. Necro is very successful, and there is now way I would quit my day job.Hope that helps.Clark</blockquote>
