Title: Product 3 Release Update
Post by: Defendi on March 23, 2007, 08:38:02 AM
All right.  RPGNow has been down at least 4 hours now (which might be a record).  I finally uploaded via DrivethruRPG and sent RPGNow an e-mail (they're owned by the same people).  I asked them if they could get the products transfered over today (before the weekend).  We'll see.

I'm hitting the end of my waking period.  If this is the last message you see for a bit, I'm asleep.  Everyone who's willing to do the volunteer buyer thing, wait for my coupons.  I'll send them the first possible waking moment after the product releases.  :)

Okay, so no word for about 12 hours.  At that time the Sage (the guy who handles this stuff) told me he'd alert me when the site was up and get the files transfered.  He did neither.  I suspect he'd gone home before the website was restored.  Either that, or he's still handling stuff from before my e-mail.  The system MIGHT be automated.  At any rate so, I'll keep checking and tell you the moment I know anything.

Still no word.  They've added one product to their catalog today, a single piece of stock art.  So I know they're out there.  At this late hour, I'm suspecting we'll have to wait until Monday.  There's a chance, though.  If anyone sees it go up, post here.  If I'm awake and at a computer, I'll probably get the e-mail notification of your post before I check.

Cha ching!!!!
The OGL & RM version were on the front page of new releases, the other three were on the next one.  All are listed on the Finalredoubt page.

Are you talking about DriverthruRPG, perhaps?  Those have been up since Friday, but I suspect they aren't working yet.  I tried to send a comp coupon and it never arrives.  That's why I haven't announced.

I hope they go up on RPGNow today.  Still haven't heard from them.  I'll post before I go to bed if there's no news.

RPGnow is up this morning.  Nothing yesterday afternoon.

Yeah, I see it now.  I checked on a computer with low resolution, and since they bumped me WAY down the list, I couldn't see it.  :)  I'm updating like a madman.

All right.  It's up.  It's updated.  Go buy it.

If I owe you a comp copy, it will probably have to wait until late tonight.  I can't send them through RPGNow since I didn't upload there.  DrivethruRPG wasn't mailing out this weekend when I tried it.  So I'll need to send coupons from my store, and I don't think I'm awake enough to troubleshoot that.  :)

If you are interested in buying all four version in the first week for a great deal, the offer is still open.  Send to buyer (at) finalredoubt (dot) com.  I'll send you the RPGNow coupons the first chance I get.

I might be signing off for sleep soon.  If someone buys in the next bit and the download looks good, post here so we all know.  I can't test with a comp copy like I usually do.  :)

Ah.  There's one.  PiXel01, let the kiddies know when you've downloaded something successfully.

Ok, I bought and downloaded it. It worked fine and I'll try to have a look at it later.

All right.  So I need to wake up in 5-6 hours.  I think I'll have to go to bed.  If anyone has a file or download problem, post it here so others know.  Then tell RPGNow.  They're the ones that are most likely to be able to fix it.  If I need to reupload or something, I'll check for e-mails when I wake up.

Have a good day.  Hopefully you'll all get a chance to browse while I sleep.  :)

Got them all.  Just had and extra screen to go get to the download page on drivethru.  You also showed up in an add under Specials on the left hand side.  Another trip to Office Max in the near future.

Wish me luck on the CC3 maps. ;)

Whew hoo!

I think the ICE crowd isn't going to be able to get me on the hot sellers list this month alone, so I just sent out an announcement to all RPGNow buyer allowing e-mail and asked for Volunteer buyers there as well.

The big hot sellers list shows me in the 60s with HARP and the 90s with the others.  I THINK that represents yesterday's sales data.

Just an observation but the HARP version is on the top sellers list (17) rather than the OGL one.  I will take that as a good sign that HARP is doing well.

Along those lines, if it isn't too priveleged info - are you selling more of one version or mostly the 4-stat packs?

OGL goes copper most quickly.  I think in the long run I sell more straight OGL than I do packs.  It's hard to tell because I do these buy everything pushes at the begining.

Only about 2/3 of my volunteers have bought.  When the rest buy, it should pop the rest on top.  I haven't actually announce the release on a prodominantly OGL forum yet, except to exisitng customers.  Thanks for the reminder.
