Yezemin: Does this mean Rocket Age is on sale somewhere?

CarrionCrow: Yes, it's on Bundle of Holding right now.
Nice. I think I'll just go spend some money. :)

Bundle of Holding is very good at making people do that. If I had more disposable income, I'd probably get at least 85 percent of everything they put out.

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.

Good point. The .pdf's are bound to be cheaper than buying the full physical copies.

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.

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...

Forsooth! I've learned long ago to keep the beverage away from the desk, or screen,
and to drink the drinks in yonder beverage places, away from the desk or screen...

Right, the printed works come first, then maybe the kindle versions after initial publishing...
or some other preferred digital platform, but only one place for the digital versions of the books...
I know I'll have to get some special fonts (maybe font rights) for title page and cover art.
Not sure if I'm going to have any writing on the cover though, just the symbols picked for each,
though now I'll need 3 or 4 cover designs...

I do believe you are right to speak the immortal words of Hitchcock on this occasion,
reminders to the obvious, as they do so well fit the topic at hand, and the agenda. :D

EndreWhiteMane: After a day and half trying to get this DVR to set up properly and 3 calls to the manufacturer I finally got a tech smart enough to tell me that it simply WON'T DO what I'm trying to get it to do.
Even though the packaging clearly states that it will.
Fuck a duck.
With a cluck.
What were you trying to make it do?
(Please say summon Freyja, please say summon Freyja)

EndreWhiteMane: Not gonna happen, most of those people get elected for office if they aren't already there.
I can only assume it was something about a very rich man with extremely ridiculous hair?
Better not pry too much.
Goddamnit, dozed off again.

I told you those thri-kreen blood vials were just watered down raspberry jam.

Every time you say the word thri-kreen, I get reminded that I have both Dark Sun games waiting for me to get off my ass and play them.

Additional - This should be interesting. Within a few hours of play time, one of two things will happen -
I will either be talking about there's at least one visual novel-type game that I enjoy.
Or, I'll be in here screaming about what a fucking idiot I am for buying something at close to retail price that I wasn't certain I'd enjoy.

Good evening, lovely people of the thread!

I hope you have all been having a good day?

Sorry if I did not reply to anyone earlier, I fell asleep due to me being warn out after work.

*hugs, waves, and... well that's all. I was going to offer some of these yummy chocolates, but I think I will eat them all myself :-)*

*extra-big hug with even more chocolates for the lonely Battle Sister*
Having so much fun playing kinda Doom mixed with not only a poor man's System Shock 2, but a poor man's Half Life 2 as well, I can barely contain myself...
Morning! Time to drink a coffee and start to be productive ;)

Thank goodness. It was getting all too quiet in here.
I started to be tempted to break something.
