Lets see;
1. free pdf w/ real book, yes
2. New art would add $25k to the cost of the book; sorry guys, I just don't have $25,000 in my account for that. There may be a few pieces though, to replace what I consider to be the truly weak art pieces in the originals.
3. Color interiors would add about $30k to the production cost for say, 500 books. I don't have that much money either (unless all of you buy lots and lots of our other stuff...jk, there is no way I can come up with $55,000).
4. It will be the whole set; I think body count is near 1000 monsters.
5. Scott and Erica may add a few new ones.
6. I wanted it all in one books for serious "thud" factor. I can also stitch bind it this way for durability. I may do some sort of special cover (leather or faux leather). Still looking at options and price. i want this thing to be "Necronomican" scary like the book in the Evil Dead series.The
DM should be able to say "This is my Boom Stick".
7. I really want to keep the price under $100--not sure if I can (talked w/ printer this am to get a work up on 1000 pages @ 500 copies for first run), but I am trying like heck to do so. The pdf will be much cheaper--probably $40 or so.
8. S&W is a retroclone (0e), and totally SRD legal--1e would not be, per se. Illusionists for example are not in the SRD. All TOH material
IMO is open content. Suffice to say that Clark will rise from the Abyss to vett the legality of all:)
Feel free to ask other questions if you like; I'll try to answer them:)
