I've told him this before: He's not particularly adept at conveying himself on message boards. For some reason, his posts are often taken in the worst possible light. I can tell you, his intentions were admirable. I certainly appreciate the effort. As others have pointed out, even if you don't like Ed (or don't like me for that matter), you should still check out <a href="http://www.indiepressrevolution.com" target="_blank">Indie Press Revolution</a>. They have a stable of top-notch games you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. They ship quickly on favorable terms. In the end, isn't that all that really matters in a web-based storefront. I don't know Jeff Bezos from Adam (though he's a fellow Princetonian), but if he turned out to be a raging ass-jacket, I'd still buy from Amazon as long as the service they provided did the job.2) With regard to EN World advertising (on the other thread). It did, indeed, accomplish what I set out to do: brand recognition. Morrus is correct. It's the principal reason for such advertising. Obviously, I'd appreciate a few direct sales from it. However, the best thing I can get from it is having people thing about it and file it away in there subconscious. Then, if someone starts a thread about sci-fi settings, maybe one or two people will chime up with: "Hey, you should check out Dawning Star; it looks pretty cool." I must report that I did see some of that effect after our recent spate of ads. In short, I'm more than satisfied with the results of EN World advertising.3) With regard to the ad itself, there's only so much you can do in a banner ad. I wanted to catch people's eye; I think the "dawn" effect does that. I wanted to convey it was sci-fi. I wanted to let people know it was d20. I wanted to give a hint of the theme of the setting, which is the sense of hope in the coming of a new day. I think the ad accomplishes that. If you want to know more about it, the website gives a lot more info.4) I think there only one real reason to get Dawning Star: It's damn good.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
