The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Scribe]

Wow! Your ignore list must be huge. I've been told that I'm one of the mist ignored people here, yet I only miss a few posts per page on average. Didn't miss a single one on the page I just quoted you on.

I cannot accept that as fact, I have a short fuse, and I dont think you've ever bothered me, at least not enough for me to come here and snark on you.

Ooof. I'll just delete the thread.

Seriously, dude, it's just a name. Let it go.

I'm just going to put this here because I think it could serve as an appropriate response to many, many posts.

Nope, not going to do it.

i am tired, and uncertain how much pineapple ruined 4e, and also whether publishers who can afford it should published all the books planned for a line at once.

 

[CleverNickName]

If pineapple remains as popular as you insist it still is,
and if as many people are still clamoring for it as you say there are,
and if pineapple is truly the goldmine you claim it to be...

...I feel like we would see a lot more pineapple Kickstarters, at the very least.

That really wouldn’t work. You’d have no clue how many books to print. Printing too many or not enough could ruin you, financially. Especially when talking about relatively high-cost products like full-color hardback RPG books. More than likely people honestly use Kickstarter to find out how many books to print. They probably get quotes from a few printers and check schedules to make sure they’re available. Etc.

I have heard of publishers using kickstarter as an advertising or marketing tool. Afaik most of the successful publishers on kickstarter have the lion's share of the work finished, and use kickstarter to pay for art, or other things. The biggest printer of RPG's in the US is Studio 2, so they kind of set the standard for US stuff, even though they outsource the actual printing to China.

I watched that last night and thought about posting it here myself.

Matt Colville has a very good new video about D&D edition changes. I'm not sure about posting it here, because despite his message arguing against edition warring, it seems likely to cause exactly that here. But I recommend everyone watch it; it's quite good.
