[QUOTE="Blue Phoenix RPG, post: 8242514, member: 86560"] Yes Jeff, I totally agree. We, as a company made a few missteps in the prelaunch. We have a solid product but if we relaunch we will 1) Have a small sample adventure to run with digital Roll20 compatible maps, 2) A longer prelaunch to build up a proper mailing list, 3) Offer more add ons like pill-shaped 1d4 dice in a modern medicine bottle (healing) and a DM's screen, 3) A special limited edition Book cover only available to the kickstarter backers, 4) Stretch goals that include a file to add on to the 5th Edition character generator program on Android/IOS phones, etc. In our rush to launch it, we forgot some critical steps. Also, we will more than likely lower the $100k mark by quite a bit, probably around $30k to $50k. Part of this high goal was the cost for a publisher based in the US. We have since found a faster, better quality printer overseas that cuts our cost greatly, BUT there is no way to change the goal once the kickstarter has launched. Again, a misstep on our part. We are learning. We are a new, smaller, publishing business so there are some obstacles to overcome and lessons still yet to be learned. That being said, this book will come out sometime next year, regardless of the Kickstarter. I am a bit confused, however, with all the advertising we've spent that we only currently have around $4k of funds and 66 backers, but to be fair most the advertising was on Facebook. Anyway, just wanted to say that we are on top of things and with the help of the rpg community we'll be able to get this book into the hands of those that want it. [/QUOTE]
