It depends on the system, and visibility of the project, but I'd
say if you sell 100 units, it's a success. Plan for smaller amounts
if you can do them, or plan on slowly selling the last few --
hopefully.
On the other hand, some homebrews that were limited are suddenly in
demand a few months down the road, so if you can be prepared to make
more later, that's ideal.
I'd suggest starting with 20 units if for a more obscure/unpopular
system, and 50 for something better known and loved. Plan to produce
twice that if it takes off.
