Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whisper72" data-source="post: 3014684" data-attributes="member: 17339">One side note on the issue of ppl owning the stuff electronically versus wanting the physical book.First off, the ppl who frequent these boards are a specific subset of players. They are also a small minority (although very vocal and among the most dedicated!) of the total amount of players. So, even if we all have the electronic goods, there is still a whole load of ppl who have no idea, and who will first learn of your product through (for example) advertising in Dragon/Dungeon or by finding it in their FLGS.Secondly, the nature of many on this here board is such that they indeed will want to own the physical book(s) for various reasons ranging from collecting, just liking the shiny on their shelves, ease of play, wanting to have the art as well, supporting the hobby etc., so even among those here who have the stuff electronically, it is my impression that many (at least those who would consider buying the books in the first place) would buyt the physical product as well as owning the electronic version.Another way to go about it, is to only post parts of the IP, only those where you are currently not yet comfortable with the exact level of detail or quality.For example: is it really relevant to post all the fluff? Maybe just enough to give ppl a feel may be enuff.Maybe not all crunch needs to be reviewed: post only that crunch which really needs to be tested.By presenting the stuff as text only (relatively unformatted), without (much) art, with as little fluff as possible, you can make the stuff you make available such that the REAL product offers so much more, that everyone will want to buy it anyways (if they are interested in the first place natch...)</blockquote>
