They’re not all gone – I just had to ship the remaining copies from Korea to the states by slowboat. There should be copies up and ready to go on the site by mid-week (a lot of the books have arrived, just waiting on shipping logistics) so just hang in there a couple days =)
DrivethruRPG has quality print on demand options.
Luke Green I really wasn’t pleased with either Drivethru or Lulu’s POD services, the only ones that look anything like a well-done traditional print run is their premium color, which is pretty expensive. Anyway, we’ve also got something like 300 books left from a traditional run and they’re beautiful, so it wouldn’t make much sense to forego selling those in favor of an inferior, higher margin POD service. We’ll have to make a decision about what to do once we actually do run out of our traditional print run, though.
Adam Bosarge Just told me that he’s pretty much set up to start selling through the store again, so we should have the store updated with copies for sale by tomorrow, Chris Stocker
Chris Stocker, the books are back up in the store!
Hmm, I’ve never had a problem with Drivethru basic cover…ah well
Luke Green Once you do comparisons it generally becomes even more clear, though the fact that it’s so variable (good for some books, not for others, and sometimes) is an even bigger turn off for me.
If you’re curious, there are lots of threads where designers talk about what it’s ok for and what it’s not. For example:
