RosenMcStern Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Bought! You know what I'd love to see eventually? An Alephtar (PDF) magazine covering your major lines as well as general D100 bits and pieces. I would rather sponsor Nick Middleton's fanzine. But now that you make me think about it, Uncounted Worlds is BRP only, and we make also RuneQuest stuff, and possibly HeroQuest in the future. Could be a good idea. What about a FaceBook group in the meanwhile? Edited September 29, 2009 by RosenMcStern Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarulf Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You mean Uncounted Worlds, no? Will all the lines you'll have soon, I'm sure you'd be able to fill a semi-annual or even quarterly magazine with interesting things to read. Designer notes, bits and pieces cut from the major books, short scenarios, places, items and people etc. Facebook? Guess I'd have to get an account then.

Thalaba Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Facebook? Guess I'd have to get an account then. Me too - and I don't see that happening! Why not just put this kind of thing on your website?

RosenMcStern Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 We usually put things on our web site. However, barring the amount of disk space required for a decently illustrated PDF, few people visit our web site regularly. On the other hand, a free, quarterly magazine published on OneBookShelf and YourGamesNOW would be downloaded by casual visitors, too, and help attract new people to BRP or RuneQuest. I have a couple things that I wanted to submit to UW or Signs & Portents. Maybe they could find their way into an independent zine. Although I am not so eager to provide competition to Nick.

Free? I was thinking around €5 or so :-) But free might help sell more of the main books. Although I am not so eager to provide competition to Nick. That I can understand, perhaps some sort of collaboration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Since Uncounted Worlds will not accept RQ material, that may exclude a lot of the Alephtar range. In any case, competition is good, isn't it? I, for one, would buy both. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

RosenMcStern Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Please note that I have slightly changed the schedule again. Two books shifted a bit, but we should still be able to publish Merrie England in two months. The reasons why will be clarified soon.

SDLeary Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Available from YourGamesNOW, DriveThruRPG or Chaosium. Thanks to everybody for their support. And this is just the beginning. :cool: What does the print schedule look like? Any idea of when we can see dead tree versions here in the States?

Agentorange Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 We do not have a print version scheduled for Veni, Vidi, Vici. Say it isn't so, I'm really not a fan of PDF's. they're ok for small articles and supplements but reading a large document on the screen is eye punishing difficult. All the local printers are exhorbitant for binding. How about a POD on Lulu.com ? It's up to us if we want to fork out the extra for printing and posting then.

RosenMcStern Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 VVV is 36 pages, it is very easy to read onscreen and printing it at a local store and binding it with tape is cheap. Moreover, with a PDF you can print just the scenario you need when you want to play. Your considerations are correct, but only for a sourcebook that needs reading in a quiet environment. Scenarios are for play, not for reading. Unfortunately, a POD version would require an extra "fee" that would make the product totally unprofitable. But we will manage to produce bigger supplements in the future, so that the dead tree version becomes a viable solution.

soltakss Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I printed a copy in Booklet mode and it came out as a nice, small, readable A5 booklet, perfect for slipping into a bag and using as and when.
