[QUOTE="Troll Lord, post: 585865, member: 1163"] JP.......that was perhaps the funniest post I've read in god knows how long. I fell out of my chair. Hmm, maybe we should bring you on as a title consultant! :) As for the price point and the title, I certainly don't want to get into the same discussion here. Innumerable small publishers with vastly more knowledge and experience than myself have explained the pricing over various books. I'll say simply that we are not WoTC, nor Necromancer and price our books accordingly. Trust me when I tell you we are taking a bit of a hit on these. pricing for a small company is very different from larger companies. I wish it weren't because then we could actually make a LOT of money of products, but so goes life. As for the title, the book is a World Building book. It is chalk full of information you will find useful in building your world. Perhaps we could have titled it better. Dozens were discussed and mulled over, from "Everyday Facts and Everyday Places" to "Discriptionary" to this that and the other. At some point the discussion had to end and the book had to titled. I voted for World Builder as it was short, to the point and self explanatory. I know that some online retailers only use my ad blurb, but that is why it says: "Unburdened with flavor text this tome is a collection of militantly organized definitions, lists, tables and charts with an army of information from the mundane to the extraordinary. Game designers, professional or amateur, find an arsenal of trees, herbs, armor, weapons, terrain features, and much more, as well as new weapons, armor, magical gems, spell components and herbs for the d20 system. The World Builder covers outdoor settings, indoor living settings, merchandise with a completely illustrated armor and weapons section and everyday facts from the government structure to the tensile strength of rope." Hopefully, this will do the job. Really, we can't do any more. The book is off the press and on to the retailers. If the price is too high, then its just too high. I hope you will take a moment and look the book over and judge for yourself. I stand by the product. It is a damn good book and well worth the money you will spend on it. And if you really didn't like the title of the book wait till you get the load of the next one "Living Fantasy" and then "Deep Quiet" Bwahahahahaah....:D Just kidding! Steve :cool: [/QUOTE]
