The Business of Gaming

Still being a complete newb to publishing my own stuff I am always on the look out for others who are doing it. Not just talking about the product, advertising, but the business involved also. The troubles, successes and the strategies used to keep a business afloat.

Then this morning I see Satyre of the Fame & Fortune blog (if you need some interesting inns & taverns this is the place to go) published a post about how Adamant Publishing tried an experiment of lowering its prices to get more business.

Gareth-Michael Skarka gives an honest, in-depth perspective of his struggles as a publisher.  If your interested at all in this kind of subject its interesting to see the maker of ICONS and Thrilling Tales, both titles seem to be battling for top spots at RPGNow is not doing well.  Anyway, thought it was interesting and pass it along.

  3. Thanks for the mention!

    Interesting to see other publishers are making a go of the noble experiment and while there's healthy skepticism on the end result, some are adapting...
