In truth, I'm a just a cartographer with good storyline and setting idea, the actual publisher is Dementia 5 Publishing House, and while small have quite a few products in their stable, and the publisher/author has been in the industry for quite awhile. He was sold on the idea of my project. The person with the real knowledge of the market is the publisher, not I.I began my discussion to this, based on what I know of the product costs. Wulf asked subsequent sales venue/price questions, and I lack the knowledge/experience to answer it realistically, so I probably shouldn't be doing so now.Beyond art cost and my personal time involvement, my true investment is almost neglible. I did do six maps in trade with the publisher for his writing/editing staff in this project - so a defined "cost" there, but again, it was my time spent, and the "loss" of commissions I should have gotten for those six maps. All in all, my cost so far is very low. Some investment on the part of the publisher exists, but are costs that I am not incurring.So really if I sold 200 products, I would still earn some profit, so my numbers previously presented is most likely wild speculation. Since I'm not going into debt creating it, its only a failure, if I sell nothing - or if it doesn't at least pay for itself.GP</blockquote>
