[QUOTE="guildofblades, post: 6016340, member: 27324"] Hi. The thing is, our printing capacity all sit with the realm of digital printing. On demand type stuff that is great for shorter production runs, but runs a bit on the more expensive side than traditional printing. With the proposed kickstarter, the volume of the "give away" version of the game that would get printed is so large that it can be printed on web offset presses and where it might cost us $.30 to $.50 per unit to print them here (not counting labor), we can get the give-away printed for a bit under $.10 cents per unit. Its that print volume cost efficiency that makes the project cost feasible. It does require more up front, but that is why we've gone to Kickstarter for this one. Almost all the funds that we would recieve fromthe Kickstarter go towards the printing and distrbution of the free edition. The production of the commercial version of the core rules we would be doing the printing for here, for the most part. We might outsource a bit of that printing only if the volumes that need to be printed reach a level where its most practical to use traditional printing rather than digital. That would only become an issue if the kickstarter attains enough to support to reach fund all 1 million of the give-away or more.
