[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8557069, member: 326"] Hey dave2008 buddy! :) I think 2 wildly different print quality versions would only hurt things. Here is my current thinking (I'll just lay it out there) for my three tiers: PDF: $25 (its bigger than Ascension and the Epic Bestiary so I think that is justified). Print version (+PDF): $55 Print version; signed and with the slipcase (+PDF): $85 Shipping probably depends on which fulfillment service I use and with a low run that is likely Mixam in the UK. I'll have to ask them but lets say $15/20/25 depending on where in the world you are. $5000 = successfully funded (based on 100 backers: Guesstimate 40% pdf, 50% Print + pdf, 10% signed version + pdf). Stretch Goals at $15k, $25k, $35k, $45k Looking at Mixam, there seems to be a sweet spot at 300 copies where the cost drops by $8 per copy to around $25. Printing 300 will cost me $7500 so technically I am taking a hit (assuming I only raise $5000) but I will take a gamble thinking I can sell them over the course of the following 12 months...I'm an optimist at heart. :giggle: Mixam fulfill the backers (except for the signed + slipcase tier which I will obviously have to do myself). After which the PDF becomes available via Drivethru, anyone else wanting a copy of the print version will either have to go on Amazon (assuming Mixam has that option - I know Print Ninja does) or possibly get one of the remaining copies from me on ebay. Assuming I make a small profit at some point, I'll start another book. Does that sound reasonable or is there something obvious I am missing? [/QUOTE]
