Message: <blockquote data-quote="catsclaw227" data-source="post: 2977646" data-attributes="member: 14197">I ran a business with two other partners, rather successfully, for 5 years until the dotcom blowout occurred. It never ceases to amaze me that people on the outside looking in, view costs and margins without any consideration for the intangible costs associated with running a business.  Overhead costs for freelancers, internal labor costs, utilities and property expenses, supplies, hardware costs, insurance, worker's comp and disability, taxes, and all the day-to-day operational costs that don't get accounted for as hard costs. I also know difficult it is to find balance between predicting sales, risk management, and knowing I can pay my employees and still provide for my family. Please don't take these concerns flippantly, they are real.  I respect NG's decision to estimate a run of only 1000 copies, especially considering the sales of the Wilderlands Box Set.I bought this knowing it would be a limited edition. I wanted something special, unique, LIMITED. I am glad that Bill and Clark are sticking to their guns on this.  I buy from Amazon. But when I want something special, I buy direct, even if it costs me a bit extra (in this case $20 maybe... whoo hoo... I'm going broke).  I pre-ordered it the moment I heard about it.And for those of you still concerned that you can't get it, it is likely that there are going to be copies at an online retailer, like frpgames.com.</blockquote>
