I kind of got stuck on that, as you know, and it made it hard to appreciate the rest of the book. It looked like the examples you gave captured the fun side of it pretty well, which is vital – it just needs to be tightened up.

I agree that it feels like a standalone product.

What you need to get it published: draft of text that’s mostly there; stick it into layout; get a sample copy printed off at Lulu (even if you don’t do your main printing there) and hold it in your hands; move on to polishing. I can see it as 6x9in or even that quarto size Neil used for Duty & Honour (but not Letter).

Look at Lulu as a print channel, not a sales channel. More accurately, you can sell through it but you have to do all the work of driving people there, whereas RPG-specific sales sites will provide you with an interested market. As I’ve said before, this project screams IPR to me.

I already have a Lulu storefront (http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1049551) and IPR has been pointed out to me repeatly by Tim. Must do something about that (and one bookself too)

If you are luckly the revised version will be out by XMAS, so you could use that at Conception

There is much discussion elsewhere on using Lulu as a sales outlet (as opposed to just a print shop). Maybe get enough printed to get it listed on IPR instead?

I haven’t yet read the copy I snagged at Furnace, but I may well put it on the list of games I take to Conception.
