Rolemaster / Re: Rolemaster Unified art: what happened?
« Last post by pawsplay on Today at 04:48:07 PM »The marginal cost is very low, but you still have the upfront costs of writers, editors, layout, art. With the volume we are talking about, even when you spread that out over every sale, it's still significant. If, say, we doubled our sales by using Kickstarter (which I think is generous), it's not enough change that.
Well, it doesn't cost more to layout quality art than cheap art.
I think between improving the appearance of the product, and Kickstarter's network advantages, it would not be a stretch to double or more your sales.

Since ICE is print-on-demand, that's kind of moot. You could do an actual print run, which might in fact save money, but there's no staff to receive and ship the books.
I feel like if you accidentally sold 5000 hard copies, you could probably go ahead and pay a little to get some help with fulfillment.
It seems like quite a bit of thought has already been put into this. I'm just floating out some thoughts, as someone who has done projects with a lot less cachet than a new Rolemaster edition.
