Happy to hear all opinions lichmaster.
I'm in the same boat. I prefer a physical copy but running out of shelf space.
Shipping via DrivethruRPG still seems fairly cheap although their Printing Costs are relatively high.
Makes sense.
Well a few things as regards that:
1. I typically set...
Two quick questions Mike (if you have the time).
1. Are you saying 2000 backers is your threshold for the Offset Printing route and by extension the use of Backerkit? I'm anticipating my Epic Tier Kickstarter next month God Rules: Player's Guide will sell less than 500 physical books, I assumed...
Howdy lichmaster! :)
PDF Cost = the amount I make from each copy
Hardcover Cost = the amount I make from each copy + Printing Cost* + Shipping Cost*
*In the Kickstarter Printing and Shipping are paid separately to DrivethruRPG
If PDF Costs £30 (approx. $40)...
...then Hardcover Costs...
I priced it and I just didn't see myself selling 500 physical copies in the Kickstarter. So Drivethru was the best option - the fact that they do not take a percentage of the Kickstarter was the biggest incentive though.
I'm baking hot in my shorts and vest here in sunny Belfast where it is currently 21 degrees and rising. I suspect Germany is a 'tad' warmer. ;)
That is awesome. So the networking paid off.
I'll look into getting VTT support for my next book. Just had too much on my plate first time around.
Hey Morrus, I have not got to hold a Premium Quality DrivethruRPG book myself yet, though I did a test print of my previous book and I agree its a massive difference between offset and Drivethru's standard quality. Though I am sure I saw a Youtube review recently where the reviewer said the...
Hello again Melina, thanks for the quick reply (understanding now you are not in North America otherwise you'd still be asleep).
Thanks, I'll take all the well wishes I can get
I think it suits someone who is good at multi-tasking...and I am the total opposite of that. :oops:
Thanks...
Kickstarter related question:
With Drivethru RPG handling Printing and Shipping I don't need to charge for those things in the Reward Tiers. Additionally I want to give the PDF away "for free" to backers who want buy the Hardcover book. I don't want to artificially charge more simply to...
Thanks for the heads up Distracted DM and hey there Melina.Vortex. I am approx. 30 days out from my first Kickstarter: God Rules: Player's Guide. All a bit daunting, but like you I believe I have a good book.
1. I have basically done everything myself. I'm not expecting to make a profit from...
Hey amigo, yes I am finishing off the Powers chapter and unlike the Gameplay/Dimensional Tiers: after the Epic Tier its: Immortal Tier < Empyreal Tier < Sidereal Tier < Transcendent Tier < Eternal Tier < Perpetual Tier < Supernal Tier, the Divine Boons are Tiered by the Ability Score...
Hey Arcanist amigo!
Well an 'Epic' dragon should be about CR +8 higher than a 'standard' Ancient Dragon (so 28 or 32). While one of the Cosmic Dragons would be around CR +24 higher than a Standard Ancient Dragon (so 44 or 48).
Current neck-deep in the Powers (Boons) Chapter - which alone will...
Well you are giving me a heavy dose of vaguery there amigo. I mean:
1. Do you mean a single Krork or Necrontyr?
2. Do you mean the entirety of the Krorks or Necrontyr?
Added to that, the power of the Krorks is nebulous and we don't know much about the Necrontyr "at the height of their power"...
