All right guys, I need some opinions here, so comment up, please. And no, commenting is not a commitment to purchase anything later or anything like that, but I do need some opinions.
So, In between drumming my fingers nervously and waiting for word from the card printers, I've been looking at options for other stuff involving the Windrow-Ravenswood material. T-shirts and such is one angle, of course, but there's also one product I couldn't help but thing about putting together right off the bat:
A book.
Specifically a guide to the deck, done as a downloadable pdf or made available on Lulu. If it's just a download, I'm not putting a ton of effort into it- it'd just be plain text for the most part, for simple and easy printing and use at home- minimalist layout.
If I go ahead and put it on Lulu, I'd be dragging out InDesign and going full bore, though- Each card would be getting a two page spread, featuring the card itself (though in black and white, as color printing on LuLu gets bloody expensive) and a page opposite that with description, divination text, and other bits. That's 108 pages of material right there, and there'd also be more with statement sections, some divination spread ideas, possibly a WRD-based poker variant. In short, decent-sized useful paperback with pictures, that'd probably cost about as much as the deck itself did. Would people be interested in picking up a copy of such an item if I made it available?
