My army has a Grey Seer, so I'm like, the seer could have fathered many a skaven that inherited it's greyish hair. However, the Grey Seer wished for any competition to be squashed, so my skavenslave units are gonna be fronted by these grey-haired bastards. Also making sure they wear no armour :3

Funnily, I think Marlin May's voice is fucking awesome, though I can see how some people really don't vibe with it. I think it's just noticeable when he is on autopilot, and when he is really entranced by what he is reading.

The "expansion sales bump" worked for me with Nibiru: the last copies of the game cleared big time when Xanadu launched and only lasted a few months after the expansion came out. Digital copies of Nibiru still sell consistently, and so the idea is that I launch a product, eventually bump it with...

While in the meantime, I do outreach and try to sell via retailers like Tabletop Bookshelf and IPR. And this is a one man operation starting their distribution and outreach contact list from scratch.

Another example: I kickstarter Zephyr two years ago and shipped it last year. It had 460 backers, and raised around 30k USD. I printed 2000 copies, and of those, we have about 1200 remaining after a year. The idea is that within the next year, I'll be releasing a supplement to bump up sales.

...doing so for the real 30-40k that it takes to pay or edits, graphic design, and art on top. A 100k grossing KS is prolly already selling close to 1000 copies alone from the onset, plus pre-orders, plus distro plugs; if you print 2000 copies you're basically gonna run out of stock in a pinch.

To give you an idea, I printed 2000 copies of Nibiru on 35k USD. All those copies sold within four years. Also, almost all kickstarters tend to frontload the largest costs of manufacture, which is why you see kickstarters aiming for like 10k funding (baseline printing cost margin) and not many...

This is not a bad post but it is very US-centered I think in terms of the ways "everyone else" as a category works out, ESPECIALLY when looking at 100k kickstarters. 100k kickstarters are absolutely huge and you would *never* print 1000-2000 copies on that.
