[QUOTE="Tav_Behemoth, post: 2001136, member: 18017"] I think this is a great idea -- perhaps because it's one Behemoth3 has had on the drawing board for a while now :cool: -- but these price points sound way too low to me. Comic books and WEG's old Star Wars tie-ins both have big audiences, so that they could take advantage of the economy of scale from big print runs and have it be worth their while to make a small profit margin per unit. $2 or 3 for a 16 page PDF, maybe, but the print edition would have to cost more. What's the most y'all would pay for something like this - and would you pay extra to see it in print and not just in PDF? Some more market research questions: - Would you rather see new fiction by relatively unknown authors, or reprints of stories by "name" authors that had previously appeared in magazines like [i]Fantasy and Science Fiction[/i]? (Either way, the game stats would be new.) - Would you be interested in only fantasy stories, or in other genres like SF and horror? And within fantasy, would you prefer standard D&D-esque fiction or stuff that went further afield (modern fantasy, exotic settings, etc.?) - What ratio of story to stats would you like to see? Would you prefer shorter stories, or be open to longer novellas? - For reprinted stories, are there favorites you'd especially like to have game stats for, or ones you thought "that'd be great to use in a campaign"?
