What is the best Mystic Eye/Thunderhead Games product?

[Arnwyn]

My vote went to the Foul Locales series, which I am particularly fond of. Guilds and Adventurers is a close runner-up.

As for Bluffside - I've never seen it in my LGS.

Chalk me upto another one that bought all the bluffside material: Dry Sands, The Deep, etc.

I really loved this setting and the only way I could keep it alive was to go out and buy NG:Wilderness Players guide. I put bluffside on one side of the continent and the CSoIO on the otherside. This way I got more bang for my buck for both products.

MEG, One question

When you say Bluffside didn't sell as well as you might like, does that mean that it sold worse than others, or is it that Bluffside had a high production cost and didn't sell as well in relation to that?

From the results in this poll, it seems quite popular (I have one sitting on my bookshelf).

Hi johnsemlak, the answer is both, it was expensive to produce as well as did not sell as well as some of our other lines.

I love that book as well, but when we only have X many books we can do a year and the market is tough as it is now, we had to make a decision not to produce any more items for Bluffside for now. If someone wanted to do it we would be willing to discuss terms like we did with Sigil.

Thanks Leo, you have always been a great supporter, and we do not forget that .

Thanks Hal for all the great comments and thoughts. It is much appreciated by all the Bluffside fans. Well, by by me at least.

On the Dry Lands and The Deep projects though, the problem with those was they may have been "Bluffside ready", but they weren't Bluffside. Dry Lands, while a great product on its own, had very little connection to the city of Bluffside itself. The Deep pulled away from the city almost completely. What the supporters of Bluffside want(ed) was more stuff about the city itself. The districts...the sewers...undercity...old city...the tower. Even a book about the surrounding area would be able to work Bluffside in a lot, as the proximity to the city would allow this. By surrounding area, I am speaking of the forest and mountains around the city. Adventures taking place in the city with some more material about areas in the city might even be good.

It is sad to hear that Bluffside didnt sell as well as you would have wanted. Maybe it was the timing of the release that also hurt it in its initial stage, coupled with the lack of direct support. If I remember correctly, wasnt Bluffside released around the same time as Freeport and a few other city books. I think it was dubbed the "glut of city books" at the time on these very boards. There havent been any really good city books since "the glut". Maybe the time is right now for another big time city book release, "...from the makers of Bluffside". Just a thought.

If a freelancer or fan had ideas for Bluffside and possible products that could be released with only a little risk, would you guys be interested in hearing them? There are a lot of smaller projects that could be done directly for Bluffside that would possibly spur interest in it, and might be worth the risk to get the best city book some new interest. Just wondering....

Thanks again Hal and others for all the great comments and thoughts.

On the Bluffside adventure coming from Sigil, is that ST Cooleys Publishing? Where's Sigil been anyway? I haven't seen him post for a while, and his website http://www.cooleys.org/publishing/ seems to be down.

Necroing this thread because my google-fu is weak today.

Does anyone know if the web enhancements for Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside are still available anywhere. I never thought to download them when I first bought the module years ago.
