Small and Quick or Large and Slow


Product Discussion


So here is a legitimate question.
Do you guys prefer a produce that is:

  • Smaller, cheaper, more focused (a class and some supporting feats/equipment), and released on a more frequent basis ("Politics and Power", "The Nomad", "Detective's Handbook", etc)
    OR
  • Larger, more expensive, broader (lots of feat support, several classes, game mastery, etc) released less frequently (ala "Dragon Tiger Ox", "Necropunk", "Legendary Levels")?

    Being honest Little Red I prefer your Small and Quick products.

    Almost all of your Large projects have been a little lack luster me (barring Necropunk) as they feel bigger, yes, but lacking in more interesting content. Dragon Tiger Ox is not by any means a bad book but I wouldn't be fibbing if I said it was a bit of a disappointment for me.

    Meanwhile your smaller products are a huge hit with me, as what little I get in them (usually a base class and some feats) are interesting and truly add something to my game I lacked before. Plus you guys are my fall back guys during a release drought. Most companies release maybe a product every month and a half I feel like I need; you guys however make something I MUST have what seems like once every two weeks. I'm roughly getting three products out of you guys for every one product I get from everyone else.

    ....wait, if you are asking this because you're thinking about breaking up your Gonzo Book please don't- I'd like to have all my wacky supplement in one handy PDF.

    Interesting. That is generally the opposite of the feedback we normally get in our reviews.

    I don't think we will ever truly forgo all of our small releases but we want to do more books like Gonzo. Books like DTO and Necropunk actually account for the majority of our income (DTO made us more than we did in the last year).

    And don't worry. Gonzo is formatted and everything. We are just messing with some last min edits, getting final drafts of artwork, and refining the layout a little bit.


    Phew, that's a relief. Can't wait to grab the PDF Saturday.


    Yeah and Gonzo is probably an example of one of the larger books rather than a smaller one. I mean it's going to be like 60+ pages. That's not a massive tome but it's no small splat book either.
