Stanley is this episode's Waldo.Our Guests+Tim Callahan+Stephen NewtonShow Notes after the jumpGuest NotesTim CallahanMoon Dice Games & CrawljammerStephen NewtonThick Skull AdventuresShow Notes(If you listen closely, you can hear Adam's baby Stanley making cute little sounds throughout the episode.)Stephen expressed what pretty much is the best KS advice: "Don't ask for money until it's at least 90% done."More from Stephen:"...[W]rite the thing, outline the story..."Figure out the channels (Print? Pdf?)Later on, Stephen says that you should get into print even if it's Print On DemandPOD means you don't have to do any warehousing/fulfillment/handling distributorsPOD also makes it easier for overseas shipping customersWhat's your format? (Letter? "Digest?" - "digest" size is really half-letter)Adam adds: "your audience isn't everyone"Adam wants to see print/pdf bundles to work the opposite way that they work now: if you buy the PDF, you should get a discount on the print product. [Note: "One Bookshelf" or "OBS" is the company that owns & operates the websites RPGNow and DriveThruRPG. Most of the panel members use these terms interchangeably because they are.] One of Adam's reasons for self-publishing is that he wanted to continue to own his work. Most publishers own the work that is produced under contract. LIGHTNING ROUND: The panel all agrees that if you buy something in print, you should get it in pdf for free.
