@cavernsandcavetrolls https://www.tiktok.com/@cavernsandcavetrolls A follower would be great lol. I'd like more RPG accounts to follow so I can tailor my algorithm.

Interesting, it would bother me more to have zero art versus defaced art. But I can see your point. The book has to be a single book cause lulu is so expensive, but I could split up the PDFs, PHB+1st adventure for free, DMG+MM for $5. I don't expect to make my investment back, but if I do...

I totally agree. The part I'm struggling to decide on is how to implement it. Lets say you create a product and you spend $10,000 on art. Do you want to give that art away for free in a digital format as is? Seems kind of sad to have to do so. One idea I had was you do the PDF but on each...

I don't know that it is "for DnD" but for fantasy I like Broms art

I thought about this, but I just can't do it because the PDF because unreadable (at least in my mind) without the art breaking up the monotony of text and tables.

What a great product. While Adobe may be the "leader" I feel like they have taken advantage of the world in their pricing. Like any software, it hurts a bit to get started, but now I am many pages deep into Affinity Publisher I am loving it. I also have Affinity Photo as my image...

one artist? wow, I have 10 working right now, to make sure I can finish this year (I'm doing a monster manual too). Took me quite a bit of time to find the artists who are the best bang for your buck since they are massively different prices there. Of course the perfect ones quickly get...

I mean you can do it super cheap with public domain art, or you can spend $10-20k on art depending on how many pages and the quality of the art. Editor on the cheap maybe $1500 on a fiverr. Likely impossible to find an available ttrpg editor. The point of the kickstarter is to raise the...

Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13642.A_Wizard_of_Earthsea

I'm creating it more for my legacy to give some joy in the world, cause D&D was a huge impact and joy in my life when i was 11, and then in college. I'm thinking suppose users only buy 100 books, in that case its irrelevant if it is free or $2 or $5. But lets say, in the unlikely event its...

Yeah its new, but its a very specific niche, that will appeal to some but of no interest to many. How many is some, idk. But I would have loved it as a kid, but ttrpgs genre is still pretty small compared to video games, so small of small, maybe its 1000, 10k, 100k, idk, I hope to finish by...

Great point, I'll take a look at that, maybe the simplest thing is to split it into two books, like a Players Handbook and a DMG with the DMG containing all the monsters. That way players don't need to pay for a lot of pages they don't need per se. Nice thanks!

Well thats not the point of the thread, and they are good questions, lets just say I know its new and exciting and there is nothing like it, but I am a little biased :) Whether there will be broad appeal, whether I can market it wide enough, that is a different question that will remain to be...

If enough people enjoy something, I'm ok with losing money. But if it blew up and you gave away everything for free it would be a little sad lol.

I thought about that. The tricky part is I think any time you evaluate a RPG, the nice art is a huge impact on your first impression. The other issue is the overhead of building two different PDFs, thats a lot of extra work. Maybe the way to go is to have core rules + sample bestiary + sample...

Thats the problem with the name, you have to keep double checking to see how it is spelled.

So lets say you were creating your own mazes and monsters TTRPG. You don't have a large internet following so kickstarter not an option and while you can do some marketing a lot is going to be dependent on word of mouth. Your goals are #1 get the rules into as many peoples hands as possible...

This is brilliant, I'm going to add them, perfect thanks!
