Looks like TWO issues have popped up with Obsidian Apocalypse in a BAD way…

Well I kind of expected one of these two issues, but now with both of them I might have to do some jumping through hoops to get this book to stay on time to release when I have actually panned. 

First off, it looks like this project is going to go over project. This is not really a surprise but it is an issue.  I knew this was going to be an expensive book so I planned for that, but even still I added some more artwork and several high end writers to make sure this was a well-made project.  And that cost money.  So here we are with that one. But I was prepared for this so it is a “non-issue”.     

Secondly, looks like the page count of the book is going to be more than the original 150 pages I planned on. With that it mean the layout out has to be changed which effects EVERY PAGE I have already done (which is 118 so far).  In the simplest words, I have to start over and redo the layout from the start.  This sucks, BUT it happens often in the world of layout and graphic design.    Back to square one.


So I guess you can figure out what I will be doing this weekend.  Talk to you later…

Transparency Agenda #024: More Obsidian Apocalypse and Business Stuff!!!

Move Obsidian Apocalypse cover work…

So After the rough draft, Daimen sent me a more refined version of the cover and showed a little bit of the coloring:



While I like this piece I thought it was a little to dark and need some more “photoshop effects” flair to help bring out more of the magical nature of the image. Then he sent me this one back:



What do you think? This is going to be very cool.  Talk to you later…

Moving Products to Pay What You Want business model from Free…

We have A LOT of products that we have given away for free in the past.  I thought free was a great way to draw interest but when you give something away for free people seem to think it has not value to it.  This has been tested over and over and the results are the same.  So I decided to add some value to my freeproducts by making them “Pay what you want” via RPGNow.com.    For example we have had nearly 3,000 downloads of our Initiative Cards and there are have been only 4 reviews. This seems very common with free products, tons of download few reviews. What I will be doing is that we will release a “free” product, it will be free for 1 week, after that we will move it to Pay What You Want business model.  I think this will be helpful for us long term and add value to the work we are doing.  I guess we will see. Talk to you later…
