Sci-Fi Poll

Hey again, apparently many a people can't post on RPGnow (stupid me, not everyone uses it) for my poll, so I'll start it here.

Would you be interested in seeing a Sci-Fi version of Artifacts of the Arcane, like a Artifacts of Other Worlds?

Thanks, sorry for the double post on this hope you understand.

oooo boy, 6 votes. Looks like people are telling me to go back to just freelancing. Not looking good. well I guess maybe Arcanes time has come and gone, and that the first 3 are enough of a resource for awhile. Maybe I'll take a break and wait till October for a new Arcane.

I think it's because most 'fanatics' went to gencon ;-)

Also, your products are of the caliber, "Make it and they will come.".

It's also a good way of creating well seen portfolios. I mean, if i hadn't seen the Arcanes, you would have been 'just another artist on the boards'.

lol, thanks for uplift. I wonder if James sold any at Gen Con and they were used there? Wish I coulda went.

Cergorach, funny everytime I see your boardname I keep thinking it says "Cigar-roach" how exactly do you pronounce that ?

Shane,
As a wannabe publisher (I'll probably always do this for fun rather than ever make a profit), I can't see how a publisher could fail to purchase your publisher's editions.

The only thing that might be an improvement to the player version is to size the artwork to collector-size cards. That way they could be easily inserted into 9-pocket pages (which I use for character spell books).

I look forward to any of your releases. I wish they were doing better--mostly because I'd like to see a lot more of them!

Hehehe...

That's still better than how some people reffered to me (cockroach).

I was thinking it would be spoken more like Cer-Go-Rak (i'm dutch, so i don't know if i did this even remotely correct).

btw i used some of your art in a graphic header for my version of the srd.

Hey, nice job! At first I don't think I read your post too clearly. I strummed through all 12 pages scrathing my head going "huh, I don't see the art" then my wife said and pointed "isn't that your Elf womans eyes at the top of the page" BINGO!
Sometimes I just miss the obvious!

Aw..thanks! Actually I think I sold like 10 publishers editions, well, that just means the art won't be all over the place and people get sick of it. That can be a good thing. I try to create the art as large as possible. I have a new product on the burner just tonight, smaller in scope with less cost per module, but mucho useful, especially when combined with the previous products. One thing that has surprised me is the sale of my MP3s, mostly overseas. Actually getting even only 2 tracks provides like 18-30 minutes of gaming music. I still have about 6 tracks left to the Dragons Gate CD. I have also been doing more work with Chris Heath on his Azieran world ( I am co-Founder of Heathen Oracle). He did this incredible world map, blew me away with the detail, its honestly incredible. 300 dpi on screen, it consists of 112 8.5 x 11 sheets of in color map all merged together flawlessly in Photoshop. It?s the biggest most detailed map I have ever seen, so some future stuff from me will also be geared toward his world.

Thanks for keeping the post alive guys its very therapeutic.
