Sitting at $188, it isn't going to come close to making it. I read the example of play, badly written.<br /><br />I could forgive that though, but the costs? If you are paying $8,500 for production and another $11k for storage and "taxes"? You're doing something wrong.<br /><br />They seem nice, but not savvy.Ceronomushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336196754943196901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-89303305589974626112014-10-14T13:54:52.685-04:002014-10-14T13:54:52.685-04:00Oh that art was BAD.. that's not even mediocre...Oh that art was BAD.. that's not even mediocre..The Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670101962259531452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-89836857458487237652014-10-14T07:52:50.254-04:002014-10-14T07:52:50.254-04:00For those who might be interested, the characters ...For those who might be interested, the characters around the border of the cover read, across the top, "Morgalad Creators", down the left side and across the bottom, "Emili Amanda McNabb" (there is no final 'e' on "Emili" there), and down the right side, "John R Lauen". I note that the author gives his name as "John R.L. McNabb", so I presume that Emili Amanda is his wife, probably the lovely redhead in the photo.<br /><br />I hate seeing people who don't seem crazy right off do such a bad job of putting together a KS. Everything that they are doing smacks of passion without hubris. I just think that they need to sit down, think about what they can live with as a bare minimum, and go for that instead of overreaching like this. I think that part of the problem is that the major companies in the gaming "industry" have made such a habit of not disclosing how the market is actually doing that people get the wrong idea about it. That's one thing I like SJGames for, they publish an annual report of their finances for the public to see. It includes breakdowns by their game lines (no surprises there: Munchkin makes money hand over fist, relatively speaking, Ogre did well because of the Kickstarter, and GURPS is a labor of love at this point).faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-58210894332530261722014-10-13T23:45:11.344-04:002014-10-13T23:45:11.344-04:00Heh...
