Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nellisir" data-source="post: 682375" data-attributes="member: 70">Speaking as a fairly frequent purchaser of pdfs, I really appreciate this sort of add-on.  It's free advertising for the publisher, and the customer doesn't feel that they've "paid" for it, been tricked into paying for it, or has to work around it when printing (my big issue).  I like anything that gives me a good overview of the publisher's products, both current and future, and a sense of what type of product the publisher is creating, (which tells me how much attention I should pay to them in the future).I also like the idea of a central website that coordinates information on pdf publishers, including short company bios, products, and website links.  My primary sources of information about pdf publishers are RPGNow and this board.  I don't have the patience to page through EN World's publisher lists looking for publishers I don't recognize on the off chance one of them might have a product out I might be interested in.  Similarly, I rarely chase all the links on RPG Now.A simple website (no ornate graphics, no super-dooper hypertextdrive database markup formatting programming that makes every link an odyssey of errors) that has, on the left, a list of publishers linked to a publisher bio page (which includes a 1 paragraph summary of company philosophy/targetmarket/product type/whathaveyou, a link to their website, and a full product list with links to the appropriate RPG Now page), a banner up top, and a main page with simple, one to two line "what's new" announcements ("Mud Temples of the Leopard Frog People", a 64 page campaign sourcebook for the Frog Pond Campaign Setting by Amphibian Press).  The title links to RPGNow and a product description, the publisher names links to the publisher bio page, and anything else can link to whatever's appropriate.  NO THUMBNAILS on the front page!  They take up too much space.CheersNell.</blockquote>
