CarrionCrow: Never went there, so I'll have to take your word for it.
Cubicle 7 makes good games. If you have an interest in the genre, you could do worse, for more money.
Indeed, it looks deliciously pulpy. I think I would love it for the setting alone which is described as nicely developed, like Bettie Page's curves. The DungeonWorld book had no background setting whatsoever, it was simply, a rulebook. The basic premise was; you're an adventurer, over there's a dungeon filled with loot and monsters, GO!
But you see this poses a problem, since it means that now I have to decide between rocket ship adevntures to the center of the mind, or the high resolution version of high fantasy games because I don't... have enough... monthly budget...
23 DAYS LEFT?! Ok, If I do this and carry the one, and the 29th is May for all practical purposes...
This requires some thought.
GhostwriterDoF: Well, consider it a practice run for developing your own material, to create the object of others'
desire to write fanfic about.... :P

Recently I've figured out a way to self publish, but I'm stuck with page limits of 820 pages max, and size-wise,
how big the book will be, is going to make pricing a bit tricky. I'm probably going with a 6 * 9 size.

Eh, better to remain ignorant of the fanfic's source material. If you are having any kind of beverage while reading this. know that I do you a favour, lest you spew your drink all over the monitor.
It's also a cross-over.
The shame, it keeps piling!
I'd seriously advise, from a reader's perspective, that you to do like a card sharp and cut your deck. I am of the mind that, with some adaptation due to the difference in mediums, the words of Alfred Hitchcock concerning a movie's length still hold true on literary works. A huge doorstopper will discourage more than entice. Brevity is a virtue after all. Plus, for printed works, you need to consider typesetting as well.
Yezemin: Nice. I think I'll just go spend some money. :)
Remember not to confuse your currency, I don't think they accept martian tender.
CarrionCrow: Good point. The .pdf's are bound to be cheaper than buying the full physical copies.
Yeah, about that.
I find the price difference is disappointgly small.
If you consider printing and distribution costs of a real hardcover book, the publishers get less than half the cover price in their pockets. So I would expect a digital copy to have a proportional discount, about 40%.
Yeah... no.
Then Bundle of Holding comes to the rescue! Case in point...
Yezemin: That's very true. And the fact that I know far to many P & P rpgs due to my involvement with our website is not exactly helping. At least in this case I was already considering getting the hardcovers, so I could argue that Bundle of Holding is actually
saving me money.
ROCKET SHIPS AHOY!
