I think printing costs could be added in at the P&P stage, so that the Kickstarter target figure just pays for the content.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887893691053633187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-33051705949910603962018-09-06T21:47:13.138+01:002018-09-06T21:47:13.138+01:00Much like what I'll be recommending to Paul an...Much like what I'll be recommending to Paul and Jaime once they get close enough on FL8 to consider a Kickstarter, you need to make the basic content the "prize" that's funded. That means the layout/writing/editing for even a .pdf comes first. If people want a printed copy, they pay extra (likely quite a bit extra) for that printed/mailed copy as an add-on with the .pdf in as their extra. That's pretty much how Onyx Path does there newer New World of Darkness rpg books. Here's a link to their most recent campaign that I participated in:<br /><br />https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/geist-the-sin-eaters-2nd-edition<br /><br />At the $25 level you get main book in .pdf form. It's only at the $50 level that you get an actual printed copy sent to you.johntfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005496604068259398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-11847727195584365282018-09-02T09:47:51.717+01:002018-09-02T09:47:51.717+01:00Alas, that's what I thought when I launched th...Alas, that's what I thought when I launched the Mirabilis Patreon page. *sigh*DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887893691053633187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-32741297914429729132018-09-01T22:31:30.216+01:002018-09-01T22:31:30.216+01:00Nothing ventured, Dave...Nothing ventured, Dave...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820212330098297211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-15485353622543998602018-09-01T08:14:52.077+01:002018-09-01T08:14:52.077+01:00Ah, now Mirabilis.

But that still leaves the problem of finding time to run a Kickstarter, which I'm reliably assured by Richard Hetley, who planned the FL7 campaign, is a full-time job for at least 3 weeks. And then there's the fact that most of the money raised simply goes on paying printing costs, so in the end the writing and layout work still has to be done for nothing. Maybe one day, when I'm retired and idle...Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-19452855876925038522018-08-31T22:15:23.060+01:002018-08-31T22:15:23.060+01:00Dare I suggest a Kickstarter to improve it to more...Dare I suggest a Kickstarter to improve it to more closely resemble what you envisioned?

At some point I'll get out the scanned text and edit it into some kind of playable shape -- removing the glaring errors such as broken links, text that assumes the player's gender, etc. It'll still be a comedic dungeon-bash rather than the awesome finale it should have been, but at least collectors won't have to look at a blank space on their shelves!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-27204810623122641872018-08-31T09:16:50.353+01:002018-08-31T09:16:50.353+01:00Am I going mad Dave, or is Walls of Spyte still no...Am I going mad Dave, or is Walls of Spyte still not released in your new layout?
