I’d be inclined to wager no, but obviously I don’t know your profit on that book. I guess you could answer that question better than me, since you have access to your figures and can see public Kickstarter figures, whereas I only have one of those figures. But then, A Touch of Class is doing pretty well on Amazon and DTRPG, and did very well on Kickstarter. I would be surprised if it could have done nearly as well for us on DMsG, even if we’d put some Realms IP in/on it.Have you considered a Kickstarted book as a trial? It would be interesting to see how it worked for you.If they dropped the exclusivity requirement, I'd be very tempted to Kickstarter a book and then put it on DMsG to see what happened. It would be a killer combo getting the benefit of both platforms.</blockquote>
