Yeah, That's Me



Inane? Check. Rambling? Occasionally. Rarely updated? Check. Looks pretty good so far...

Welcome back, folks. Have you got your copy for the Informant yet? C'mon, you know you want it! Even if you don't for my surprise, there is some excised material from World Militaries in there as well that would come in mighty handy for y'all.

2.0 Update
The first little peek at 2.0 has been opened over on the Spycraft forums recently. Get on over and check it out, if you haven't so far.

I'm almost done. *Almost*, then I'm onto pure, smooth-drinkin', never-bitter Project X. Does it bode well for a project that I'm still giddy about it 3 years after I first proposed it to a publisher?

PDFs?
The continuing debate over AEG's apparent policy to never enter the PDF market continues to rage, as exemplified in this thread on the Spycraft forums. We all know AEG's track record with PDF products has been less than stellar, as evidenced by the quick but unannounced demise of the SFA Interactive serial, but at least they never charge. There seems to be a certain level of expectation for PDF support of a line on behalf of the fans, however, and this is something I want to consider as I plan the life and times of Project X and other items.

So, for the 5 of you that read this blog regularly - what's your interest in the PDF market? I have some Project X pieces that I'd definately rather push out as smaller, standalone work, rather than stuff them into an admittedly overstuffed book, but the PDF market and the occasional vampiric publisher (say, the guy who puts together *a* class as a 3 page PDF and sells it for $2) have created some trepidation about the viability of the medium.

If you could get high-quality PDF work - maybe light on art, but full of fluff n' crunch by your fav Spycraft authors - would you pay for it? What would you pay for it...$1 for 5 pages? $2? $3? I'm still a n00b at these things but I'm interested in hearing your voice. Comment away, below.
