[QUOTE="Vascant, post: 2648100, member: 13927"] Thats my problem, I don't. I will agree and admit, in my opinion most of the products that caught my eye were on the Edge site. Based on the products I seen during my short tours over the last few days, the site in my mind triggers this tought. RPGNow: For publishers who are more geared towards making money and stay inside the box. RPGEdge: People who play this game and not afraid to go outside the box because they have a day job supporting them. I know I am very odd in this regard but I do not judge a book by its cover, art nor layout. I am proud to say I can read and purchase books for the words, the rules and sometimes just to get an idea for something I want to create for my own game. For me, if you spent 50 dollars on art, it was probably a waste. I will use Ronin Arts as an example, I figure since I have purchased over 100 of their PDF's, I can have the right to speak as an informed person. When Ronin Art's started as just Mr Reed writing and then going off to his place of work, his material was new, refreshing. He was creating the kind of material that as for someone who has been in the game for 30 years, only dreamed to see actually published because any big company would not touch it. I think I got his first 40 PDF's without a second thought. Then he slowly started to change. Now his material has larger text, pictures and you can tell he writes for money now because he targets those areas that generate the most money. Is he wrong, not even close. It just doesn't appeal to me. Joe: I love your stuff, still use your Book of Enchantments. Quite frankly, if someone has a book I want, I will email them ask them if I just buy it directly. After all, RPGNow's new site has not changed my buying habits, just made buying a hassle. I am not mad at them, because I know they have two customers; sellers and buyers. The buyers didn't have a forum really, we were just told how we would purchase things, well this buyer is not afraid to say "No, not going to do it". Same applies in real life, if a store changes things so that it becomes more of a hassle to shop, why go their anymore? Just find a new place to shop. [/QUOTE]
