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?

Were I to be one of the people purchasing the deck, then absolutely, yes, I would want a book to go with it.

I would prefer to buy a book than try and sort it myself which would be a PITA. Plus the cost of printing it myself with toner and all, urgh.

I'd say go for it. I'm going to do something similar with "Reve" by printing a limited run of the physical book and making the e-book a creative-commons licensed PDF with a paypal 'donate' button embedded.

I'll edit the guide for you gratis. I've been working on various editing things whiule twiddling my thumbs in the Philippines.

I like the idea of a book to go with the deck. I'd prefer a hardcopy rather than a pdf but that's because I like being able to page through things. Plus it would make an awesome prop for a game. Just saying.

I would be more likely to buy the book than the deck. Consider me interested!

This was awhile ago, but if you do make this a hardcopy book, I would buy it.

I am going to be making it- I've just been laid up with an infection from hell and Vampire Ball prep- It's coming, just slightly delayed.
