Still at it, I'm hoping to have my part done before I leave for Spiel.

ahh, I've been out of things awhile. Getting back on track...

What do you suggest? Even when I did 10000 copies of a Free RPG Day book a few years back and you'd think that would just flood the market with extra copies, people were still selling them and some places are still selling them for exorbitant amounts. Even when the Pay What You Want PDF is promptly uploaded a couple weeks after the event, people are still selling them.

(Selling my spare copies of VAM! for 5€ when backers originally paid 20€+ doesn't seem right either. I am bringing copies to conventions, where I will be selling them for 25€ by themselves, or free with 100€ purchase. pprroofffitteerriinnggg)

If you're wanting to use material from Veins, you need to ask Patrick.

I endorse Crunk's post.

Monster portion (and that's going to be a 250+ page book) this year (production stuff willing in the fall...), the rest next year.

Reversible spells.

The reprint of the R&M book coming this month is unchanged from the last printing, so no worries for another year or maybe two.

Going forward though there is a serious problem. There are still some outstanding projects in which Clerics, for example, figure strongly into the material, but going forward there are issues when it comes to outside writers and LotFP projects. It's getting a bit tiresome on my end to need to tell people not to write for the rules, and not to use the rules as a basis for setting assumptions.

Fact is that even a tiny project like Idea from Space carries a price tag of thousands of euros. I've been lucky in that no book I've released has been a complete and total flop but the possibility is always there and if I'm risking several months' worth of rent on the low side (and in extreme cases an entire's year worth of income), I'm going to make sure the project aligns with my sensibilities. It'll be bad enough for a project I believe in to be a failure (and it will come, sooner or later); I don't want to find out what it feels like if a thing I didn't even like but produced as a cash grab fails utterly and fucks my life.

Summing up, basically, the audience for LotFP material is me, with the business plan basically being hoping like hell that other people want to come along for that ride. If my tastes and those of the buying public diverge to the point where I can't keep going, that's it. Done. There will be no attempt to chase other peoples' tastes.

How so?

If you see spam, hit the report button. When you add more useless shit posts to address the problem of useless shit posts, you are behaving no different than the spammer.

I just answered this elsewhere, but in case it helps anyone else:

The LotFP store has a quirk where every so often the downloaded file is missing the file extension (and we can't figure out why it does this). if that's the issue, rename the file, adding ".pdf" at the end, and that'll clear that up.
