What other World of Erde products are worth buying but not too frustrating of a read? They are on promotional sale now; is anything particularly collectible?

I´m not sure if the later projects will be limited too though. The reviews are good and i think it is an interesting concept.

If you want a copy of an early work then too bad. You should have gotten in on the ground floor. You will just have to wait until someone sells their patronage for that project to you with all the appellate rights of ownership that has. Until then they have the pride of being able to say-this is mine, at least in part. I helped. And I paid for it.

Also, I believe the last day of June was the last day to sign up for Kobold Quarterly......

Kind of like someone comissioning Erol Otus to do an original painting, but oh by the way I am going to cover it up in my livingroom and prevent you other guys from seeing it! Ever! Sorry you didn't go in on the work. The emoticon with the rolling eyes just doesn't do it ... how do make (type) the sound of somone taking a long deep drag from a dubee?

Cheers! Erol Otus is doing just that. There is at least one member of this forum that has a commissioned piece by Otus and it is unique....no one else has one. Dumbass still hasnt gotten it framed though.
There is nothing wrong with doing a limited edition adventure and having people pay money to fund it. Rob Kuntz has done that with Cairn of the Skeleton King, Tower of Blood, and Bottle City. A little different than with Castle Shadowcrag but still basically the same idea.
By the way Mike, where did this quote come from? Quote: If you want a copy of an early work then too bad. You should have gotten in on the ground floor.

Hey, that's a ROSLOF print. Get your classic 1st edition artists straight!
I want to go on record that I love Baur's stuff.
I feel sorry for the guy in, say, two years who just discovers Open Design and is REALLY pissed he's not going to be able to ever see any of the last three years worth of goodies....
