Any PDFs he offered at RPGNow would be free, so why pay the $50 to offer a free product?Aaron W.

(by which I mean that registering a customer account requires fewer than 16 steps, etc). I've been completely happy with lulu so far (and I've gotten pretty quick shipping to Oregon... I think I had Encounter Critical inside of a week). <br /><br />If you put something out, I'm going to buy it no matter where I have to go for it. Of course, if that something is a <I>print</I> product, I'd be extra-stoked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862556389958594140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-64972627850274127362009-05-08T21:16:00.000-05:002009-05-08T21:16:00.000-05:00I support YourGamesNow fully, because it is run by...I support YourGamesNow fully, because it is run by honest, ethical people. You do have to be voted in though, so if you don't have many products out it might be tough at first to get in.<br /><br />Having said that, RPGnow is not a bad place for someone to start even if they have only one product so far (and your sales will be better there than RPGnow). I think you have to pay 50 bucks to get in, but its been a few years since I joined so I don't know if that's the same. The exciting new thing with RPGnow is that they are going to soon offer POD capability, and distribution for print products. So while I do have some reservations about how they run RPGnow from time to time, it might be a good idea to check them out. It might end up being a great way for us to reach hobby stores without the investment of a print run and other hassles. One important piece of advice I have though is not to put all your eggs in one basket. If you join RPGnow do not join as an exclusive member, because you are going to want the freedom to list your products anywhere you see fit.Dan of Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957424338566461756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-52662735479545356972009-05-08T19:54:00.000-05:002009-05-08T19:54:00.000-05:00"Any other factors I'm not considering?"
