This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Jetstream;889463They're coupons generated by the DTRPG system. It's hedge-language. They're all the same.

So it's deliberately ambiguous language used to lessen the impact of unpleasant statements.

Man, I wish I knew how to do that.

Quote from: SineNomine;889498When you generate a DTRPG at-cost POD coupon, you need to set a minimum price. That minimum price is the higher of either the UK or the US print costs, so as to ensure OBS doesn't actually lose money on your coupon if someone from the more expensive domain orders a book. Because if this, you can sometimes end up making 40 or 50 cents on an "at-cost" coupon when someone from the cheaper domain orders a book. I suspect their language is simply referencing this fact, in that OBS won't let them put the minimum coupon floor any lower than they'll set it.

Then again this was clear and pleasant.

Quote from: jcfiala;891304What would you want if it was a dice kickstarter that had been totally silent for over two years?

I'd expect a refund and some dice, which is what I want to do, have been trying to do, but I'm not sure mentioning that in an update would be helpful until I'm actually able to do it for everyone.

Well, that explains those four weird looking guys riding horses up the street earlier today.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Quote from: Anon Adderlan;889240Now at cost color printing at OBS for a 660 page book is...
  • standard softcover: $21.40
  • standard hardcover: $26.10
  • premium softcover: $67.80
  • premium hardcover: $72.30


So, how accurate are your prices above? If these are 100% accurate, then OPP is not giving backers real "at cost" coupons.
The color hardcover is 35$ and the premium color hardcover is 75$ with the coupon.
So i guess the premium option is almost at cost if your prices are correct. For the standard it is quite a jump though...i wonder where those extra 9$ go... more hookers and cocaine for the devs?! :D :p

I am very curious to see how 3rd Edition will do in the wild, so to speak, off the reservation of generally I being fully seen only by some of the more hardcore fans. I expect it will be like previous editions: lots of initial praise, perhaps for months then the cracks will start to show.

The more obvious (and subjective ones like design choices) but I'm wondering about systemic flaws, things that just don't hold up or work well in rigorous play.

And here we go...

Apparently, Drivethru is creaking under the strain of downloads.

And its not slowing things down much. The second money train is pulling into the station.

I got my discount coupon in email. Might order this weekend, but I got to ask: is that really ugly cover from the backer PDF still the front cover?

Is it a image of a solar woman in red holding a sword?  If so, then yes.

And, as is usual with OPP products, they still charge money for the PDF when you spend more than $100 for a physical book. Just one of many reasons why my money goes to companies like PEG or Sine Nomine instead.

The cover is the picture of Prince Diamond. Was the cover of the original?
