[QUOTE="Vaslov, post: 6285410, member: 37953"] I think publishers need to be careful about dipping into mix media like this. As mentioned above you might be fragmenting your market further unintentionally as this is a turn off for some as has been noted by others. That said there are some very cool things you can do and I'd like to see more RPG publishers experiment with this. I work in a field where I send large retiree populations large amounts of written materials. This is a population that generally has a reputation of not embracing technology. That said we have still embraced using mixed media to [B]augment [/B]what we send them and do hear positive feedback from those that embrace it. I have been amazed to find out how much data you can store in one of those little boxes. Some of them can do very amazing things with a smart phone. Some of it does not even need an internet connection which could be a big selling point for those who live in remote locations without many service options. If everything is on the page it also may help the book retain value as websites generally have a reputation for short life spans. Look into Augmented Reality websites to find technical experts which might give you some new ideas. Some AR examples below. I have no affiliation with either of these vendors.
