    RPGNow Dungeon Ad #114 Inquiries

    So far (little less then one month since it hit the stores/homes) we have gotten about 40 new customers (people who bothered to signup for account which means they probably downloaded something). Also, these are only the ones who used the discount page or bothered to say where they heard about...

    RPGNow Dungeon Ad #114 Inquiries

    The page the Dungeon ad links to does contain sales coupons for the products there. If yours isn't listed send me an email and coupon. And yes, a lot of exposure (one of the main reasons I did the ad) is the 30,000 being handed out at GenCon this year. A week or two after people return we...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    Couple answers: 1) don't know about RPGNow.com 2) don't realize that PDFs come without DRM 3) lazy and was already buying something else there In short it comes down to consumer education. Thus, most current customers of current RPGNow products will probably still shop there. So, the question...

    DAA vs. DRM

    Believe it or not, my wife's new embrodering machine came with a doggle. USB based now. Ick. I hate that. I think some high end costly software and some markets not indended for computer geeks use these. They SHOULD be dead. James

    Looking for old clip art collection PDF

    I don't know for sure, just a guess... but my guess is he's paying royalties to the artist on each sale. He's got to pay RPGnow 20-25% for each sale as well. After doing all the accounting and support work and paying everyone involved, maybe he felt it just wasn't worth his time. James

Walk on down to your post office or gas station or sentry store and give them less then $1 and they'll convert your cash to something you can send us. Sure it'll take a couple days longer - but you'll get your order! See the checkout pages for...

    DRM limitations (merged with "why DRM sucks")

    Well with wi-fi you should be able to activate the DRM from your school or from a kinkos or cyber cafe or Barns and Nobles.... yeah, it's a trip somewhere to just activate your computer, but I believe you just have to do that once and then copy the pdfs over to view them. James

    For the record, it is true: Malhavoc is leaving RPGNow. We have a 15 day cancel clause which was involked to expire the 10th of this month. It is Malhavoc's choice to deactivate their product when they see fit. Or they will be gone on the 10th when I do it. Fiery Dragon has already deactivated...

    logic of low POD sales?

    We printed that book (RPGNow/RPGMall) for them. 10 copies of an averaged sized perfect bound book typically runs only $30-40. So it's easy to get involved. I donno about all this talk about printing... I mean who here is wanting to start a printing company just to support your hobby or this...
