I have been involved in martial arts for years, and when I first started, it impacted my game. At the end of the day, its a game, and focusing too much on realism isn't what most players seem to want. And it isn't what I want either. I love fighting, but I don't feel that my D&D needs to reflect...

You can send me an email at Brendandvs2@aol.com and I will give you more details.

We don't know for sure. But definitely would expect many of them on EN World and RPGnet. Modern Bootstrap. Yes. We will do this. When the game is ready for release, we plan on hitting as many local game stores as possible and hope to get a booth at conventions.

Any advice for a small publisher planning a marketing strategy for its first release?

It ruined my life. I used to be happy, and laugh when someone made a joke. Now all I do is stare at the grim world through my window. Before this whole PDF thing, I ate big meals every day and went for a short run in the morning. Now I can't stand the thought of tasty food; preferring to eat a...

I think he has a point though. I remember being a kid in the early 80s, and D&D was much more prevalent. It was just around in a way it hasn't been since. I don't know the numbers or anything; but I do know I saw ads for it on TV, there was a D&D cartoon on saturday morning and the kids in ET...

There is. If there is an active draft you can apply for conscientious objector status. basically you need to prove you are a pacifist, and you must demonstrate a clear history of it (through religious involvement, writings, etc). My father recieved it during the Vietnam war, and had to perform...

Yes. Its the law here. You have to. But there isn't an active draft, and likely wont be in the near future. After Before 9/11: Worried. My father was on a plane from Logan airport to a western state (I didn't know which one at the time). And he left around the time of the hijacked...

I always find those kinds of arguments fascinating because no matter how many terrible things the doer does, as long as they achieve some greater good in the end, its somehow okay. By this logic, it would not only be okay for Red Lobster to steal 15 dollars from sony. It would be okay for Red...

For me its Ethics and Fear.

It seems like there are people who play table top rpgs, and people who don't. I doubt that online games are stealing players. They just don't offer the things that most hard core gamers come to the table for. Maybe this will change as the tech improves. But right now, I feel pretty lonely when I...

Again, I think the edition war thing is blending with this issue; but I do believe the edition wars are a kind of predictable neccesity any time a big game company shifts to a new edition. I know there is still emotion on this issue. I just sense it is diminishing. I agree it was bad pr. But...

I agee, edition wars are probably contributing. HOwever, this seems like a different kind of anger. Edition war anger eventually goes away, once people settle on their respective editions. This is the kind of anger TSR generated in the 90s with its suits. It isn't that TSR had no right to...

The great thing about gaming, is this is a community. It isn't like Xbox or book shelves. When you buy an RPG, you share it with your friends; and you and your friends are a small patch of a larger network of gamers. We don't just buy games, we take them personally. And we have a much more...

Yes, but these tactics almost always anger fans and customers. Remember when Metallica made a big stink about napster? Know lars is hated even by people that continue to purchase metallica albums. With gaming, I am sure a certain percentage of people will pirate from PDFs. But there are always...

I am a Ravenloft Man, but I am going to guess Dark Sun. It was their most unique setting, and I think it fits the point of light concept pretty well.

Yes. I just need information that will help us decide where our product fits; and help me convince distributors it will sell.

I haven't been there in a while (I usually go to Harrison's in Salem because they are one town over from me). That is a good idea. My original plan was to go to some of these places once I had a workable prototype printed and ask for their opinions and advice. I was going to go to Your Move also.

I read it. Definitely a good investment. And as he points out, you hear a lot of different numbers from different people. So I have been asking around the forums to get a wide range of viewpoints, so I can assess the pros and cons. But what I am really having trouble finding is the sales...

Well, we are a start-up; and need to write up a business plan that includes demographics for pen and paper RPGs and the different break down of niches within the niche market; so we can decide where we fit. We also need sales information- how much can a small RPG sell in its first few months...
