Hullo, Colin,
Thanks, guys, though John, it might never be paper. Simply put, a game has to do really bloody well indeed to justify full-colour printing at a price that won't make consumers balk, and how well they'll sell is unknown just now. Plus, for the page count to be remotely in-line with any printing cost for colour, it'd have to be a combined "graphic novel" of 2-3 issues.
In short, there's every chance it will never come out in hardcopy unless pdf sales indicate a damn good chance it could be printed in quantities large enough to offset the high cost of full colour.

Aww, nuts! This means that I am never likely to get a copy of this product at all, since to be honest, I'm not about to print out a full colour PDF. And it would defeat the purpose to not print it out, since I don't use the computer when I run games and the like, and hate reading PDFs and all on screen.
That said, ICONS is selling rather well, and to be honest, I suspect that if you do a print run of this book (through Cubicle 7, please!)
it would do extremely well. So please, please, please, re-consider this.
