Spun off from this thread on the sales of Barbarians of Lemuria. Any discussion of that topic should go in the original thread.

In that thread, Brennan from IPR said this:

"There are a lot of fantasy games out there, and I get a lot of fantasy game submissions. I have a pretty high bar for fantasy games because of this.

There are two main criteria I use: One, is the mechanic unusual or innovative? Two, is the setting something I have never seen before?"

[Thread shamelessly inspired by stuff Gregor was talking about elsewhere]

One thing that we, as a community (and I mean the larger gaming community as a whole) are really bad at is talking about something online, then providing easy access to information about that thing. We'll mention a game, then forget to undertake the simple task of putting a hyperlink in place.

So, why should we endeavour to change this habit?

If you use RPGNow to sell PDF versions of you game, what do you use your accumulated promotion points for?

For those who aren't aware PPPs allow you to run banners and promotions, email people with your item on their wishlist and a few other things. You build them up based on how much you've sold and gain a few at the start of each month.

What's worked well for you? Any particular techniques you employed?

Well the new run of 'Revenge of the B-Movie!' has finally arrived and it is looking great. To celebrate hitting the second run so soon I am offering free P&P to anyone in the UK buying the game during August.

Check out the 'Giant Brain' shop now!

All the best

'The Giant Brain' is delighted to announce that ‘Revenge of the B-Movie!’ is now available from the fine folks at Indie Press Revolution.

Just to let people know, if they are interested, that I have opened a Solipsist Mailing list on Yahoo, as a more effective means of getting in touch with people who've bought the game, or have rules questions.
