Whoever wrote the Lenap section, at least, has no grasp at all on the d20 Challenge Rating encounter system.

Not that I expect most folks that want this for JG purposes to care  :lol:

d20? ***shudders at the thought*** thats almost sacrilege to a JG item

This is where I put myself out there and say it doesn't bother me.
I like d20 and having Judges Guild come out under those rules it can only help (others may seek out the old stuff in my opinion). In all honesty it was me playing in a d20 Tegel Manor game that got me to collect JG items. I had only a couple of books prior to the collection explosion  :) (I'd never have even tried to get the Tac Cards  :wink: but don't blame that on d20  :D )

So to those who love the old and to those who love the new - Can't we all just get along!  :lol:

Unbalanced is one thing, and the guys that play in my D&D game would laugh long and hard if I ever said my encounters were always balanced  Unbalanced is running into Ogres at level 1. Unbalanced isn't the same thing as the person writing the module having no idea how to use the rules for the game.

A 500hp swarm that's CR 8.. 8 CR1 creatures becoming a CR7 encounter.. Many enemies with high PC class levels and low CRs (1 class level = 1 CR).. I thnk the worst was the Tongue Fish - a 2HD creature with a BAB of 5. That kind of thing doesn't instill much faith that the product is well done.

From a flavour standpoint, obviously, none of that matters one whit. But if folks are going to publish things for d20, then they should at least know the system they're attempting to use

Long live THAC0!

Greets!



Where does this figure of only 2000 copies come from? That sounds a bit odd for a current D20 product release such as this.



Thanks

From the Necromancer Games site, also from Bill Webb and Clark Peterson themselves. The number comes from them only selling roughly 2000 copies of the Players Guide to the Wilderlands (though not sure how many of these actually got printed, it is more then 2k) so they set the number for the box set at 2000. A few hundred were sold at GenCon, and you can still get it on Ebay as well as White Wolf.

I just picked up the boxed set over the weekend based on the strength of that and the production values in CSIO which I had also bought. Didn't realize interest and print runs were that low.



What do you think for example would be the print run for something like the WOTC Players Guide as a point of comparison? Presumably that would be your high watermark for judging interest in a product or setting.



Regards.

Anything WOTC is most likely in the 10k range..(though that's just a guess) and you can't really judge by WOTC because I don't believe any small d20 company is meeting close to those numbers or profit margin.



I agree with you on the d20 JG products being good, but frankly the market for those doesn't do well. Wish it wasn't like that, as I'd love to see more for JG, but some don't care for d20 and those that begain with d20 haven't really made the jump backwards for the JG stuff. (Course the box set may have an effect..it says you don't need to get the old products, but then some stuff it doesn't have like the Pegasus adventures it mentions.)
