Less than a week until Transparency Agenda January 2016 Special with Gary Ray of Black Diamond

I have noticed only a few of you have signed up for the upcoming Transparency Agenda January 2016 Special with Gary Ray of Black Diamond and there are some who have not signed up to watch it. Let me tell you, if you are a table top game designer and/or publisher and you are NOT going to watch this, then YOU ARE AS A DUMB AS A BRICK and your company is going to fail. Period.

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?? I am getting one of the TOP gaming stores in the USA let alone the world and I am going to go complete BEAST MODE on him asking tough questions and getting to the heart of the retail / publisher issues like:

Why do retailers hate Kickstarter so much?

Or Why do retailers never want to support small publishers in the start, then complain when they can’t get their stuff in the store?

Or even, How much does it suck that Cards Against Humanity doesn’t care about dealing with retailers and shouts them out of making money?

I am sure there are some real tough questions you would like to ask a retailer and get an honest answer, and NOW is the time to ask them. Even though you will be able to see this later on YouTube, not one might ask the question you want to hear. So sign up and make sure you are going to be there. Hope to see you on Saturday!

Getting Retailers on board with Cross of Fire Saga Kickstarter

One of the toughest issues I have had is getting retailers on board with the concept of kickstarters. I have done everything I could do to get them on board with what we have been doing with LPJ Design.  And with Cross of Fire Saga this is no different. So with that I have created a Retailer $60 Reward level (You will be asked to confirm your retailer status of course). Retailers please contact us directly to learn exactly what we are providing to you at that level. Or you can donate at the $1 level and then increase it to the retailer level later.


Personally I want retailers to have access to the products that we meet create because we want to support the people to help us create and have so much fun.  So go to your local gaming stores and let them know what we are doing with this kickstarter and ask them to support us.  We can't do this without your help. Talk to you later…
