[QUOTE="Roudi, post: 1951630, member: 12423"] I drew my indication of what it should be from the title "Year in Review." I expecting something more akin to a stockholder's report:something containing revenue data, articles from those in the company/industry about the events of the year, etc. In short, the title "Year in Review" connoted a business-like document, not an introduction to RPGNow. Like I've stated, this document doesn't adequately sum up the 2004 year for RPGNow except to demostrate who sold more than who. As an introductory document to the site and to PDF commerce in general, it does quite well. The only problem is the title, which caused myself (and one other person I know) to develop an unreasonable expectation of it before it was read. It could well be only my fault of interpretation, but I still maintain the document requires a title more reflective of it's actual nature and purpose. I think Morrus brings up a good point as well... only a few select publishers are actually motivated to distribute it because of the large amount of advertising it contains from a few select companies. Not to tell you how to do your job, but I don't think relying of publishers to distribute this document will be very effective. I'll reiterate: this is a great document for introducing people to RPGNow and to the concept of buying RPG material in PDF form. However, it's title doesn't suit this purpose, and it needs further distribution OUTSIDE of RPGNow to be effective. [/QUOTE]
