Haven't posted in a couple weeks, but I've gotten really busy as of late. My Gamer Printshop business has quadrupaled in the last month. My side publication project with Johnn Four of Roleplaying Tips Newsletter and Mike Bourke of Game Mastery blog is in full swing. We're creating a new product each month - basically a tricked out map with every product as an add-on single mapped location with 10,000 words of tips, statted out NPCs, new feats, equipment, magic items, features, cool ideas, as well as ongoing free bonus content in blogs, newsletters and add-on products/updates. The first product is using my Assassin's Lair map - posted in the Cartography thread. I just learned today that the products intro will either be Monte Cook or Wolfgang Baur!

So it looks like 2010 is my year to go big time!

I'll keep you updated and post when I can - wish me luck!

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

A bit more on what the products of my recent project will be like:

We plan to create new products each month, with free bonus material and updates, at $5 for PDF, probably an intro discount price too. Expect cool maps, NPCs, new class, new magic items, sometimes new monsters, feats and spells, plot hooks, ideas for use. There will be opposition forces, a back story, tips, GMs advice, more. Although the products are intended as drop-in pieces and adventure elements for existing adventures and campaigns, we are really doing a world building project from the bottom up, and plan to hook all products together into the same milieu.

Every product will have a unique twist!

Mike, Johnn and I each have different strengths and differents methods of development - we send it all into an Idea Bucket, then comment on each others ideas, work them together with existing ideas until something concrete shows up, and we cut and paste it into the main product folder, clean it up for publication, and put it on sale. Our team effort seems to be working great so far!
