[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 5684583, member: 10177"] Bill and Clark were expecting it to take 9+ months to sell through, or at least that is what Clark posted among those posts in that Paizo thread I linked above. So selling out in under 12 hours has their minds collectively blown. I've advised Bill to sit back, take some deep breathes, etc... before actually ordering a second print run. Let the smoke clear and make sure the demand for more is real, otherwise something great may turn into something that breaks their back. Forgetting about this until Monday and then looking at everything again won't kill anyone. Doing a second print run when the demand for enough books to actually make the second print run pay for itself is not there, that would not be good. They've apparently talked to Erik, and probably Lisa too, so I would think they have some pretty solid and reliable data they are deciding with, in terms of people saying they want a PRINT copy of this, rather than being happy to settle with a PDF, that is also much cheaper. Then again, how many of those people are caught up in the "I MUST HAVE IT NOW!!" kind of impulse frenzy right now, but by Monday will remember they have real bills they have to pay with that money, not buying an RPG book with it. Still, a under 12 hour sell out of what I believe was somewhere between one to 2 thousand copies is pretty awesome for Bill and Frog God Games and team. So I'm applauding them for that, I'm really happy for them. Just be carefully cautious before committing to the next step. [/QUOTE]
