Message: <blockquote data-quote="jenskot" data-source="post: 4569081" data-attributes="member: 24618">Hi eyebeams, a good friend of mine gave me his only copy of a game that he's dedicated a year of his life to as a wedding gift on the happiest day of my life. A game that I'm so excited about that I'm getting ready to form a new gaming group just to play. I don't make a cent off of the sales of Mouse Guard or any other Burning Wheel game. I don't sell RPGs. The only thing I do is help promote get togethers (picnics, movie nights, game nights) in NYC as part of <a href="http://www.nerdnyc.com/" target="_blank">nerdnyc, a not for profit organization</a> to help gamers meet other gamers. I actually lose money doing this because I love the community so much. It's actually where and how I met my now wife! I love nerdnyc! I do feel a great deal of satisfaction for sharing the pure joy this game brings me with others. And I'm friends with many of the people in the communities I posted to and wanted to spread the love and start threads where I can post about my up coming game and give people a chance to ask me questions since I have an advanced copy. Spam sucks. And marketing can be really crappy. So I completely understand your post. And thanks for linking to my <a href="http://a.nnotate.com/php/pdfnotate.php?d=2008-08-19&c=e5QBokLB#page1" target="_blank">Marketing Gencon Small Press RPG Seminar!</a> I work as the VP of Digital Strategy at an entertainment company and I'm in charge of digital distribution, partnerships, and new media. I hate abuses in marketing and I'm very happy to share my experiences with people in our hobby if it can help make us all successful without having to resort to dirty tactics and bs.
