Also, you need to set up your distribution channel and business entity first and the first part is not so easy. Distributors are not simple taking everything from d20 like they use too. Being established they take our stuff but I would hate to be starting now.The best way is to find a wholesale partner. I see Wizard's Attic was noted. Also, get your ISBNs (minimum $250 for 10), your Games Quarterly Catalog listing,  your marketing, etc in order immediately. There is sooo much more, I am being very general but wanted to give you a hint of the "to do's" you need. Most of these need to be done before you commit to a printer and you will need to market the product for four months for the distribution channel to properly solicit retailers.</blockquote>
