James Raggi vs. Kickstarter, Part Deux

Posted on 18:31 by rajrani
James Raggi of LotFP fame wants to make a big splash for the next Free RPG Day, and he's turned to Kickstarter to make it happen. The idea is to have a 64 page adventure, complete with art and all the trimmings, made available for free. Wowzers!

Now, here's where it gets interesting.

If he can raise $2,500, said adventure will be made available as a pdf. Fair enough. But...

If he can raise $15,000, he'll be sending 9,000 copies of said adventure to stores participating in Free RPG Day. I mean, I went to Free RPG Day last year and got a cool Harn map. But this is a frigging 64 page adventure. For free.

There are also like nine gazillion freebies for various reward levels. Lots of LotFP stuff, lots of stuff from other publishers. When James approached me to see if I'd be willing to help the effort by making one of my own works available as a reward, I was happy to do so. As I've said many times in the past, the OSR is not a zero-sum-game, and when one of us prospers, we all do indirectly.

So hie thyself to Kickstarter and give this bad boy a look-see. There are enough goodies in there to make it worth most folks' while. I personally recommend supporting it at least the $25 reward level. Ahem.

UPDATE: Less than 24 hours in, the project has hit its modest initial goal. Be interesting to see if it reaches the $15k threshold for the print product.

Looking for a Great Deal on LotFP?

Posted on 20:43 by rajrani
James Raggi is selling pdf versions of a bunch of his stuff for just $1.35 until December 10. Looks like a great deal for those who might be on the fence regarding his products, and who want to dip their toe in and see what's what before committing to the hard copies. That includes the highly acclaimed Vornheim module and the "Grindhouse Edition" of his rules. I'd recommend taking advantage of this while it lasts. Avoid the bundles that are listed at RPGNow.com, though; they haven't been re-priced for the sale, and you're much better off getting the individual pieces.
