RE: WordRune Book Distribution Format
Posted by: joerevesz <joerevesz@...>
The printing will be done by professionals, by either a print shop or a Print on Demand organization, so it won't be sloppy. We have a nice piece of artwork for the cover, and the text is, I think, logically organized and presented. It will be a good product.
I have been thinking about offering it in three formats, PDF download, CD and printed book, just to cover all the bases. We'll see.

I agree that a downloadable pdf is most important. Pdf on CD is just inconvenient, in my opinion.
So the question is how to get it in print, because we need that, too. I feel that a self-printed book may well look sloppy and non-impressive at the game table. It won't look like Ye Olde Rune Book, an appetising book for the game participants. And self-printing is an extra thing of preparation, raising the threshold for the adventure master. Just my feeling.
Some publishers I have used lately offer the option of buying a combo, both downloadable pdf and printed book. I went with the pdf only option, because it was a programming book, for use while programming. For DragonRaid, I think I would buy the combo.
And if technically feasible, an idea would be to give pdf downloaders the possibility to download updated versions, if any (just errata, not some next major version). But that would require an account for re-download, and notification about updated versions.
