    Is the RPG Industry on Life Support? (Merged w/"Nothing Dies")

    About half our online sales during any month are from NEW customers when it comes to print books. Probably aboput 75% of the sales of ebooks are from repeat customers. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now... but we do sell about 40-50 of any new D&D book that comes out and about...

    Is the RPG Industry on Life Support? (Merged w/"Nothing Dies")

    Well here is what confuses me about all this... [I'll offer you up some HARD numbers to make my point.] We did nearly 1.5 million in sales this year from our brick & mortar store, our online store, our ebook store, and our online indie store. Of all that revenue is a part this "industry", as...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    Remeber, the 2004 data I released ONLY delt with 2004 sales as a whole. It was not a all time thing which is what I released here last year. Anyway, trends shift and they are amplified by the fact that I excluded 2001-2003 data. For everyone else's reference, here are the top sales (and that's...

    Question on POD options

    I own RPGMall.com ... it's not a problem if you send us a book from another printer directly or not. But remember shipping eats a lot of profits. Also if you list your products at RPGMall.com you'll get exposure at our game store www.Game-Universe.com too. Lastly, don't send more then 10 books...

    [RPGNow/Ronin Arts]Can RPGNow Customer Comments Be Edited?

    Phil, I think what he meant is that you could copy his text into a REPLY to his comments which each publisher is allowed to leave. It's a reply button under the comment when you're logged into your account. Really, only I can edit the comments when requested, but I'm on vacation in Las Vegas...

    Online RPG Stores - Which one is best? - ATTENTION RPGHOST

    Be careful when you go hunting for cheapass prices. Granted these two above are big companies that will be around for a while, but buying from small shops out of someone's garrage tends to get you a cheap price- yet they inevetably go out of business and all they do is hurt all us real non-deep...

    Online RPG Stores - Which one is best? - ATTENTION RPGHOST

    Well we answer EVERY email we get within the same day we get it. Usually an hour or two tops. So, that would mean that your email must be being blocked by our spam assassian. We have a form email you can use on http://www.RPGShop.com/contact.php which bypasses the spam blocker and you can...

    DriveThruRPG.com Security issue.

    That can happen if you bookmarked or followed a link into the site that had the PHP SESSION ID = part of the url. It forces you to use a specific session ID that might be used by someone else. Remove the &PHPSESSID= or whatever part from your bookmark or notify any webmaster to do the same and...

    RPGNow Question

    The only unclear part to some people is that they think at the time that we cut checks if they have $50 in earnings they'll get a check. When it is really the PREVIOUS MONTH has to have earned $50 to get a check. In other words, if you earned $40 last month and another $20 this month before...

    Attempting a new layout/background for a pdf...

    The headings are hard to read, I'd suggest using some sort of font/color with a boarder. Color is nice, but POD isn't going to be color, so make sure it greyscales good. If it's eye candy you're after, why not add interactive elements and music? Like this test I did a while ago...

    RPGNow Dungeon Ad #114 Inquiries

    If nothing else, the print ad made some vendors at DTRPG a bit snarky cause they had promised a lot of promotion and here came GenCon and they did little and we had a 3 page ad :) Anyway, yes, please send me suggestions of sites, even if they are RPG releated. James

    At least a week or two more I'm sure. As supplies last of course, but I have a lot of shirts so I doubt that would be the reason I stop. For now consider it a 2 week special. James
