For folk that favor getting their video games from Amazon, or simply to widen the alternatives for increasing their market, or simply ’trigger . . . SJG now has a customized presence on Amazon. This dietary supplements the present Warehouse 23 gross sales channel, and is hopefully extra discoverable by people.
The Dungeon Fantasy RPG, GURPS, and The Fantasy Journey all have devoted, outstanding drop-down menus. That is happiness.
Even happier: I confirmed with Phil only a second in the past that the Gaming Ballistic titles that pertain to specific video games will seem on the shop! The primary two (Nordvorn and Corridor of Judgment, 2nd Version) are already up!
The opposite bit of giant information is the announcement of the July 1 launch of the GURPS 2020 PDF problem. Phil Reed has launched extra particulars concerning the dozen or so quick PDFs in varied locations. Right here’s the textual content:
Sean and the GURPS group have spent months getting ready a dozen completely different GURPS PDFs . . . and subsequent month we’re taking them to Kickstarter as Steve Jackson Video games’ GURPS 2020 PDF Problem. The problem: What number of stretch objectives are you able to unlock earlier than the marketing campaign involves an in depth?
For a $Three pledge, you’ll get one GURPS PDF. As stretch objectives are unlocked, we add titles to that $Three pledge. If all goes effectively and the entire stretch objectives are unlocked, then your $Three pledge will land you a dozen 10-page GURPS PDFs.
The undertaking is for PDFs solely – no print rewards – and there are solely three reward ranges:
-
-
- $3 – You get all unlocked PDFs.
- $30 – You get all unlocked PDFs and $30 in credit score to spend in BackerKit on present GURPS PDFs.
- $99 – You get all unlocked PDFs and $125 in credit score to spend in BackerKit on present GURPS PDFs.
-
Please click on the inexperienced “notify me” button on this web page to obtain e mail notification when the undertaking goes dwell in July!
Can we unlock all twelve PDFs earlier than the clock runs out?
— Phil Reed
So for 3 bucks, you get a minimal of a single 10-page PDF if it funds. Contemplating that in right this moment’s market, an 8-page PDF in coloration like Improbable Dungeon Grappling normally prices $5 by itself, this can be a large low cost over even retail pricing. Stretch objectives are key, right here. No phrase but on what ranges they’ll be, however since they’re all the identical size, one expects one thing much like “each $N, one other PDF is unlocked.” I do know what N can be for me at this stage, however my prices may be larger (as a result of I normally go together with bespoke artwork and SJG has elected to throw down some very nice inventory artwork from folks like Dean Spencer – I acknowledge his stuff – and that’s wonderful worth for the standard you get; Rick Hershey is identical approach) in some respects, and decrease (as a result of it’s simply me) in others. So we’ll see.
However the extra people purchase in, the higher the deal will get. All stretch objectives achieved means you wind up paying lower than $0.50 per PDF. That’s numerous content material.
The PDF-only possibility can also be just about genius for this. It means zero transport hassles. It means no marginal prices past charges. And the “Backerkit Credit score” concept is a implausible technique to enable free choice from add-ons. I’m going to be wanting arduous at this. I’ve acquired two upcoming Nordlond-ish books (one on hirelings and NPCs by Kevin, and a Nordlond Magic Objects ebook by Christopher) which may profit, although solely mildly, from this mannequin.
Phil can also be offering bits of perception as to the method on the SJG Boards, as one would anticipate. Test the hyperlink for feedback and questions. Comply with the Kickstarter web page (!!) to be notified when the undertaking launches.
