Preferred format?
Hello, everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Today I come to you with a simple question: Which is your preferred format? I know I've asked this before, and the vast majority seem to prefer the half-letter format (or any of its variants). But today I ask you with a more concrete goal: as some of you already know, I've started working on the second edition of Sacrifice. It's still several months away, so don't get too excited (I know I am, though). But I want to get ahead of things and start commissioning some art and that sort of thing that usually ends up delaying a project. So naturally, the first thing I must decide is: what size should this new book have? My initial instinct was to go for the standard 6x9 inches (a bit larger than A5, for those of us who don't understand inches) that I've been using for several of my books (most recently Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate), but then I thought that I would actually like this to be a bit larger. Since Alan Bahr introduced me to the seldom-used 7x10 inches format, I must say I'm in love with it. It's the size we used for Under Ashen Skies, and I think it's the perfect size for an RPG book. It's large enough to enjoy the art (and trust me, Sacrifice is going to have incredible art), but not large enough to become a PITA to use.
So here I am, asking for your opinion: Which format should I use for Sacrifice 2e? Is there a different format I should use? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section!

6x9 is only 54. 7x10, however, is 70... that's 16 moar! 16 moar is a good thing(tm) >grinning< (the older eyes is a thing too... lol)
7x10 … if just for the artwork! :)
Yeah, and I'm going all in with the artwork for this new edition, it's going to be amazing.
For older eyes, bigger is definitely better
I usually prefer smaller books, so I voted for 6x9! But not a deal-breaker either way :D
That's usually the case for what I know, so I'm surprised 7x10 is winning, haha
6x9, closer to A5.
Yeah, that's what I go for most of the times!
Is RHBF 6x9? If so, I choose that!
It is, yeah! It's my default size these days.
Large if have good art
I love the way 6x9 fits into my book bag (which is often overloaded), but yeah, 7x10 wins for me because of how it feels when using it. But either way it’s presented, Blackoath products will continue to be my top choice in gaming. Keep up all the the great work!
Thank you so much for your support!
7x10 definitely. The way UAS stays open makes it easy to read while filling in character sheets. It also just feels right
Right? It's such a great format. Allan was telling me and I was really hesitant but I love it now, haha.
Voted 7x10 just because XD. I like the two formats, so whatever book measure of book (of those in the poll) you end using, I'm okay.
Good to know, thank you!
7x10 all the way baby!! But, whatever you do I’m onboard!
Thank you! I'm surprised so far it's the winning option, I thought people loved 6x9, haha.
