    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Just for fun here is an unofficial Rules Preview build of Frieza I hastily rustled up. If you spot any obvious mistakes let me know. This is a version of the absolute weakest incarnation of Frieza that appears in the show. I'll likely post some official Preview pages of God Rules in a day or...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    That's certainly true, but historically 90% of the market is either North America or the UK (both places DrivethruRPG Prints and Ships from) and their shipping rates seem relatively low $6 for USA, £5 for UK. Yes. that's it. I don't want to charge backers more for the Print Version when they...

    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...

    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    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 Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    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.

    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    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...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    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...

    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    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...
