![]() The big add-on I’d want to see is a sourcebook for the founding of MHI - the characters, the setting (social and physical), how the business worked, what is and isn’t known about the monsters, different frequencies of monsters, the weaponry available at the time, etc.Ī sourcebook for Europe, or even a specific country (or countries) could be nice. ![]() (I would say sold because I’d hate for them free to compete with the product for sale.) Separate sourcebooks, pdf + print on demand - for free to kickstarter bidders, otherwise sold as separate products. I don’t play pen & paper RPGs anymore, and the hardcover would pretty much be a “coffee table book” for me, but I could at least put the PDF on my Kindle 3 and read the fiction on it □ Hmmm… maybe you could release the fiction as an additional e-book (mobi, e-pub) anthology? Now that I think of it, including additional short stories would make great stretch goals □ Personally, I’d like to see the PDF included with the hardcover tier. Also letting them come up with some weapon or other item design. Popular rewards at high tiers include using someone’s name in a book, or using their likeness as an NPC in a game. Although I’m sure most of your blog readers already have them, people who just find you on Kickstarter might not. In regards to rewards, you might throw in e-books of the various MHI novels. The product might not ship for a long time after that. Larry, I need to correct one thing you wrote: “You don’t get charged anything until the project is done and the product is ready to ship.” Actually, you get charged when the project is done, if the project meets it’s funding goal. Keeping in mind that we’re not made of money, and any tier idea you have would have to cost enough to pay for itself. ![]() So please post in the comments if you’ve got any ideas or things you think would be fun. I’d like to hear your ideas about what kind of extra cool stuff you’d like to see. Basically, if we reach our funding goal, then we set a new funding goal, and we throw in extra cool stuff. Stretch goals are little extra things that you add to the tiers as you reach your funding goals. If we don’t reach our goal, then the project is cancelled and you are not out anything, so it is a win-win for the creators and the fans. You don’t get charged anything until the project is done and the product is ready to ship. The tiers get increasingly expensive, but come with more cooler stuff. You pledge to back it by buying one of the tiers. If you are not familiar with things like Kickstarter or Indiego, a company will put up a project that needs to be funded. What I need from you guys, and if you don’t mind posting in the comments, are ideas of things that you would like to see relating to the Kickstarter, like ideas for awards tiers and stretch goals. For those of you that pay attention to that sort of thing, Kickstarters have sort of become the norm for funding pretty much every project in the game business. However, we are also going to offer a PDF which will be a whole lot cheaper.Īs of right now we are planning on doing a Kickstarter for funding. Depending on the artwork used it might be a little bit over that. That’s pretty normal for big hardcover illustrated game books like this. Think of it as a coffee table book, only with more monsters and guns.īecause we are making this thing really nice, it is going to be about $50. What I can tell you is that the book is going to be a really big, hard cover, heavily illustrated, color, game book, with a whole bunch of original MHI fiction in it written by me. All of the rules stuff will be written by a guy who is really well known in the game business. But even if you aren’t into gaming, if you are an MHI fan you are going to want this for the fluff and the artwork. I’ll have more details shortly, including which company is making it, what rule set we’re using, who the award winning designer is, etc. I announced this project back in June, and judging by the 500 and some odd comments, you guys are fairly interested. Special Note: Kickstarter recently disabled remote embedding for images on project pages, so embedding code doesn't work on project pages (yet) - just everywhere else.So there is going to be an MHI role playing game.
