I'm in for both (if it helps you predict purchases and set a lower price, even better!)
Seriously, maybe you should do a poll to help you with that sales guesstimate so that you can set prices appropriately. |

Or even do pre orders then if you get enough pre orders maybe we can get it at a cheaper price or if you pre order its at a cheaper price
(cause i know i will pre order both) |

I'm good for both the Bestiary and the Advanced Player's Guide. The quoted prices seem very reasonable to me. I just don't have the time to do the work myself.

Here's where it gets difficult, though. Everyone has a different definition of "reasonable", and there are customers out there who will widely and publicly decry someone of "ripping them off" if the company doesn't satisfy their definition of "reasonable". This creates a great deal of pressure on the company to promise concrete dates and release something *on* that date, even if the release is premature (i.e. buggy or incomplete). I'm sure you've all seen many examples of this with computer games and other software. Because we're tiny and we strive for high quality in what we release, our release dates are targets we're pushing for, but they are not concrete. External factors can (and often do) arise that derail progress temporarily or we could run into technical issues (or simply unexpected bugs) that take longer to solve properly. Either way, it's a definite reality that we could miss a release date, which is why we try not to quote dates when we can avoid it. Our goal is to keep customers happy and spreading the word about our products. The best way to do that is to produce a high quality product and avoid establishing expectations that we can't deliver on. Consequently, we don't believe pre-orders to be prudent right now. While we'd love to do them in principle, they just don't make good sense for us at the moment. Hope this explanation makes sense.... |

At the risk of getting you to commit to a date... how is HL 3.6 coming? Still on track for release at some point this week? |

Yeah that makes sense I was just trying to let you know how many sales you have so you can price accordingly

Hiya folks, new user here, just wondering if there was any update to the release of the Advanced Players Guide Playtest Classes (Are we getting them this week, basically..if not that's fine of course, just checking). I started stat-ing in Alchemist but I was making slow progress and I figured if it's coming in the near future I'd let you folks do what you do best... great product by the way
