Hi M/S

Would love to be able to playtest but given that I struggle to find time to playtest nids/AMTL I am better off leaving it to others better qualified than me.

However this sounds as if might be right up the street of one of my friends. I presume you don't mind if I forward him the text of your message?

Cheers

James

Any advice that any of you might have for me would be most welcome.

Having run my own gaming company publishing rules, the one piece of advice I would give is.

*** DON"T DO IT. ***

Unless you are prepared to lose money.

There is virtually no money to be made from rules, there is a small market and it is very picky.

Publish the rules on the web and be done with it if you really want to write some rules.

Hi!

Hehe, I was thinking the same thing.

My advice is, dont spend alot and dont expect a lot monetarily.

Otherwise, have fun and enjoy the experience, since it seems to be a labor of love.

Sure, not often you can get the designer to sign a game.

Hi Jimbo,

In my final analysis, I agree with you.

There is no money in writing rule sets, even very good ones.

The money in gaming is for boxed games and, more importantly... MINIATURES.

I have written my ruleset, however, with expansion opportunities... the game modules.

I thought about just leaving my rule set on the net, but I want it to be better. Every time, I see the rule set that I wrote and ran years ago floating around a gaming convention as a photocopied set, I wish that I'd done a better job. I've even seen my old rule set being sold at a flea markets (And I gave it away for free TOO!)...

With the advent of small printers and PC publishing, I don't need much more than my computer and a fancy program to do game book layout so the biggest expenditure is printing as long as I keep rights to the game.

Ultimately, "Planetfall" is an experiment to see if I can break even. With current conditions withstanding, I think I can break even and even make a small profit... perhaps even over a hundred US dollars on the first printing run.

If there's more demand, I can run a second batch of printing. Otherwise, I'll switch to PDF downloads for further sales of the game. Offering the game through another company (such as RPG Now...) as a PDF Download reduces my profit margin, but keeps the game in circulation (Albeit not wide circulation since PDF Downloads are not terribly popular).

At any rate, I have a plan and figure the worst I could lose on this project is about a hundred to a hundred fifty US Dollars. However, I don't think that... that is going to happen.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
