That's what I was hoping for in this thread. I would rather talk about stores and what customers want to see than what you mention. That said, I have also been looking at solutions like Monster Commerce (one the expensive side) but pretty impressive list of functions. We have a Paypal store for...

Please stop. I am humbly requesting it. Do not bring this into this thread. Just a request. Thanks, Bill

You know, I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread. I am so tired of the other threads that I really do not post to them anymore. I really like to be constructive and this thread is very much that. Thanks, Bill

I think it is wide open at this point but I was originally thinking a co-op storefront. Definitely have the same concerns about exposure but advertising and promotion would be part of the budget. We could keep membership focused in order to keep the catalog manageable. I don't know if...

You know, just brainstorming and maybe this is not the thread for it, but would people be interested in forming a co-op? This would be publisher owned so it would be "your own site". The site would operate such that it collected a minimal % on sales, had an elected administrator (based on skill...

I have to say,I am impressed with Zen Cart. I have looked at OSCommerce (read installed and customized), VirtueMart (Joomla) and Monster Commerce. So far, I like some of the Joomla vendor management tools but Zen Cart with its built in e-product delivery seems to be the leader. I usually am...

What?!?!? I have been signed up with your service for over a year. You have a publisher forum? Can I have in or is that moot now? Bill

The light burns but I am all for it. Upsides I can think of... A single site will be more effective pool of titles for customers. This assumes proper site design but with increased funds and staffing OBS should be able to afford to hire professional developers. With added capital we would see...

I disagree. If you are pricing your products correctly, certainly you have a profit margin figured in. However, it all depends on if you wish to give up part of that margin die to a rate increase. Increasing expenses are traditionally folded into the price of the product. To give up 10% of your...

I have written page scraping software and use some third party software that works well. It would be interesting to have the ability to scrape other sites for their catalog and compare prices. I am not a big fan of competing on price but it is a consideration. I guess I was thinking along the...

John, Interesting points. Net pricing, when I owned my B&M retail stores was so problmatic though. A true pain. Do you think with the volume we see, just from publishers like Ronin Arts, that those problems would be compounded? Essentially, the store front would have to price these out. Now...

I thought they had sales through a deal with DTRPG? Bill

Heck, I haven't been there as long as you Joe and I just squeaked in at 25%. Bill

I must complement you on your analysis Joe, spot on. Here, Here! Bill

Mostly a reorg (some points brought up on other sites included definitions first, stats first), added general definitions, updated the character sheet with spelling and format changes. Thanks for taking the time to look, Bill

Like wise, many thanks to the everyone involved. This was my first Gameday and my first contact with the Chicago gaming community and it was great. Buzz was very friendly (as was everyone else) and did a great job organizing. Supers Inc. was great and the team of death dealing supers "retired" a...

Updated Version 1.4

Hi everyone, I couldn't sleep and decided to endulge myself. I came up with the Diceless Role-playing And Tactics System (D.R.A.T.S.). It is an answer to a problem I have had with stories and settings that I could not fit into traditional systems. It is a co-operative RPG in that the Groups is...

Buzz, I dropped off two bags of swag at Gamesplus yesterday. They include: 1 Roma Imperious 1 Squirrel Attack! 1 Nebuleon 1 Shades of Earth 1 The Pie Incident 1 Rehendi Prison 1 2XL "I got my nuts handed to me by a Squirrelferatu!" t-shirt 4 pair of squirrel/HinterWelt dice 1 Map of the Empire...

Along these lines...do they have bottled water? I really cannot have soda...Sorry. Bill
