Star Ace Free Preview

[philreed]

There's a short (11 page) preview available from my website or www.rpgnow.com.

This is looking really good. Do you have any idea when it will be released?

Release Date

I'm hoping early April.

I'm also finding out that one 150 page PDF may be a bad idea. Opinions?

Is it better to break it into two smaller PDFs and sell them as separate items?

I would prefer one but I have cable modem.....I could see with dial up the difficulty that could cause.

Again really great art - and what I read was good too.

But the art... uh, really really great - The one on the first page's buttom is the best!

I have a 56K modem, and I'm not bothered by a single large file (it isn't worst than two average).

Depending on how you want to separate them, I would say,

Yes for:
-A cheap player book, and a more expensive GM book
-A book for each side of the story

and No for:
-a crunch book and a flavor book

If there would be some overlap between the two books, do one big PDF, but ensure that it has a good index, and all the nifty feature that a PDF can have.

20 MB PDF

One of the problems is that this is a very art and graphics heavy PDF (the preview is streamlined and on a diet).

I know some people don't care about art. I do.

Is a 20MB PDF too big?

Oh 20mb....
yes that may too big my friend for most, I owuld prefer it in one big bundle but for most...it may be better to break it up....you should see if RPGNow would set up s survey for you on its forums since that seems to be a solid pdf customer base.

 

[digitaldark]

What I plan on doing for our first release (because it is definatly gonna be a large pdf ) is to break it down into a few small pdfs that are sold together...kinda like an eBoxed set...i guess I'll have to wait and see how that works out when we cross that bridge...just my .02 worth

(as an aside...I've really enjoyed your work phil..keep it up)

I think our largest was 15MB.
I didn't get too many complaints from the customers. But I complained... as I only have a dialup and it took me ages to get the file there
