[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 4845511, member: 50895"] [b]I refigured to reality[/b] Yeah, I already refigured that number. Real costs: $500 for custom illustration, ?? for me doing my maps of free, ?? for the publisher writing/editing it for free, say $500 to $1000, that's it. At $8 a purchase, I need 125 sales to break even. So hopefully I can exceed 125, and do that repeatedly over the course of a 3 part adventure, and proposed setting/splat book, plus a planned 1st - 20th level campaign arc. We'll see. Thanks for the reality check! GP PS: if the initial adventure arc sells poorly, then the splat book is out of the question, though I still may try to create a fairly complete lite splat as a PDF only. If all goes well then I'll move to creating the larger campaign in my line up - of course everything is based on how sales go from the start up. PPS: because I am a graphic designer, I have experience and I will be doing the layout myself, that too is "free". Our proof-reader has been promised a free copy of the splat, that's her payment. So "other" costs have been factored in as well. Aside from free advertising and forum posting like this, I am "cashing in" on advertising in Roleplayingtips.com newsletter (John Fourr owes me $100 advertising trade for some map laminations I did for him back in December 2008.)
