[QUOTE="Brian K. Moseley, post: 676223, member: 4042"] Good observation, Phil. I agree with you. My four floor plan sourcebooks (Inns & Taverns, Castles & Keeps, Temples & Shrines, and Mansions & Manors) were published months before my latest three campaign series (Visira, City of Sorrows, Maelstrom Campaign Setting Worldbook and Pantheon), but the floor plan books have maintained sales. Sales for the campaign series is sluggish, and in comparison is a small percentage of the floor plans' total sales. My conclusion is that the campaign series is much more specific, and simply doesn't have the initial title appeal that the more generalized "floor plans" has. Ironic, as I believe Visira to be my best work yet. I suspect most consumers' initial reaction is that they do not need "another campaign world" or "another city". Sales for the month of January: Inns & Taverns: 26 Castles & Keeps: 26 Temples & Shrines: 21 Mansions & Manors: 20 Visira: City of Sorrows: 8 Maelstrom Campaign Setting: Worldbook:10 Maelstrom Campaign Setting: Pantheon: 3 Sales of the campaign series have been disappointing. I believe the more specialized the product, the smaller the number of persons that will be interested in it. Advertising is always helpful though. I agree with you completely, Joe. As the sheer volume of pdf products continues to grow, I suspect increasing numbers of RPGNow visitors glance at the front page much as many people look at the newspaper headlines. If they see something that interests them, they'll delve deeper. For the majority, content not on the front page goes unnoticed. [/QUOTE]
