Читать книгу Drachenväter: Die Interviews - Konrad Lischka - Страница 28
Yes. Very true. One other thing that strikes me when I look at the old dealers' catalogs is [...] how many paperback novels per year TSR turned out [in the mid 'nineties].
ОглавлениеSome of the novels did extremely well. There was a point where „Dragonlance” was keeping the company afloat and going really strong. The books were doing as well or better than the game side of things. It was an experiment with „Dragonlance”, but it really worked. Even the early „Forgotten Realms” books sold very, very well and continue to sell well today. Those books are another way to engage with the world. Some people love them and read all of them. Because they are setting specific and you get two or three authors, who are all pretty good at doing it for one setting. As a fan, hey, that means I get two or three times as many books as I'll get out of George Martin or somebody.
There's always a new Forgotten Realms [laughs] book coming, and that was part of the secret of their success, like „Hardy Boys” or something. There's always another one coming.
