Re: start up In addition to the great advice that Clark gave, I'd also add to check and double-check your pricing. Don't fall into the trap that pricing extra low will result in a huge influx of sales. With few exceptions, it just doesn't work that way. Accept that you're going to miss a few...

True enough. And Alternity would have been a success at any other company; just not one with WotC's overhead.

Greetings, all! Oathbound is at the printer, and we're on track to have it available at Gen Con. Here are the specifics: 352-page, full-color hardcover $39.95 (U.S.) Wordcount: Approximately 300,000 We've updated the main Oathbound page with more information about the setting itself...

We'll be releasing our products in electronic format after they've run their course in the retail and distribution channels (probably six months after we've gone out-of-stock on an item). The real danger in publishers providing electronic PDFs of their print products is that it leaves retailers...

Re: Re: Advice The size of the science fiction audience is about one-third to one-fourth the size of the D&D audience. A large amount of that science fiction audience is tied to Star Trek and Star Wars. If you go off on a wonky genre of science fiction, expect your sales to be significantly...

Steven was the lead designer behind Alchemy & Herbalists and joined us full time earlier this month. He's now working with me on polishing the Oathbound campaign setting so we can get it off to the printer at the end of the month. And yes, I fully plan on having him design more stuff. ;-)

Bloodhollow by Steven Montano People have been disappearing from the countryside at an alarming rate. While all signs point toward the vicious mercenary group known as the Black Hand, there is something more insidious afoot. An evil force thought long dead has given rise to a new power, a power...

We've had a few similar requests for additional pantheons, and Steven and Kevin are hard at work on them. Stay tuned...

Others have already commented on the legal and ethical dilemmas created by your post, but here's one from my point of view. I'd prefer to have my products reviewed in the manner in which they are sold. Thus, reviewing a scanned version of a printed product is less useful from my standpoint than...

Bastion Press will be there. I hope to see everyone there who can make it to Oakland...

We essentially chose to provide additional details for those players and DMs that were looking for more information regarding the baseline pantheons. Steve has talked to me about continuing the series into other mythos, and I'll ask him about the Celts for you... ;-)

Indeed. We'll release a preview of Spells & Magic in May that will include some materials from the book along with the Table of Contents so you can see what else is in there...

The break point between softcover books and hardcover books is about the 160-page mark. Under that, and it's generally not worthwhile to turn the product into a hardcover. Over that, and the books just stand up better over time in hardcover format. Larger books generally get more attention just...

Ink & Quill (Free Download) by Thomas Knauss The power of the written word has shaped nations, defined societies, and brought power to the people. Words impart knowledge and wisdom--attributes essential to survival but unattainable through force of might. It's force is subtle, but felt by all...
