Flips also are like the cheapest materials, home depot stuff.

One up in the Fort Wayne-South Bend area of Indiana, though this was around 2021, I think they are out of business now. Who is printing yours?

I am thankful that you do it too, we have your books, and this great place to ramble.

Make a good post, express your feelings, something important ... get crickets, or an insult.

Not the biggest fan of D&D, though I can recognize that they do a lot of heavy lifting for the whole industry/hobby.

$5.59 is a good deal, very doable as a business model. After around 5,000 copies the prices dropped, with further break points, and ordering from companies such as print ninja, were also substantially cheaper. Even then that is only printing costs, production, art, editing is a decent amount...

Silence is golden, and too often broken by the shouting by the ruler of fools. It's the demons stripping us of our memories, freeing us from the Earth.

“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.” ― Voltaire

You are exactly correct. One could make it back, though ultimately the margin is too thin, and RPG's don't usually sell a thousand books easily, except the top few percent.

There are exceptions to the rule, though I have noticed that it is usually the same people that make the really long posts, and it has only become worse when I have noticed people using AI. Reddit is almost becoming hell for that. Sometimes one finds a real gem of a post here in the internet...

Prices still likely to rise from material costs, as a lot of that is coming from China. Big US firms are leery of building the capital to create a supply chain as that makes them vulnerable to raiding by private equity firms. It is easier to dovetail into an existing supply chain. When looking...

"Brevity is the soul of wit." -Hamlet I agree, many long and convoluted arguments are usually worthless. I have friends, that can type very fast, and create long documents, which they do at work. It is more towards obscuration I feel, than to convey a point.

I can't say which system for sure, though something narrative, imo. Neither really fit the "zero to hero" level grind of a lot of games. Maybe something more like Ironsworn, or a Powered by the Apocalypse, though I might be leery of adding moves. I might go with a Basic Role Playing variant...

I just quote the whole thing a lot of time, though with the way the quote feature truncates posts, sometimes only what I think will show in the window so it is easier for people to see what I am replying to. It is a given that it is all meaningless, just a way to pass time, most don't read...

Sort of the "defeat in detail" instead of trying to tackle the main point.

"For newcomers" is another aspect.

I try to use a regular letter format, partially due to work, such as when one has to provide documentation for communication. I know in the old days, it sometimes was considered a way of trolling, it is difficult to reply to, and often winds up confusing. Also yeah, the longer a post, the less...

I'm not reading all that! The other annoying habit are replies that break up posts.

There is a whole field involved with supply chains, generally the common wisdom says they take a while to grow, 20 years or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_engineering
