Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

I'm getting excited about this. It'll be a PDF, right?

Don't forget to get on AIM.

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

Im on.

Not sure what its going to be yet, I was thinking about a PDF but I dont have Acrobat and cant afford it, I just have Reader

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

I thought we were getting our own sub-forum for this, has this changed? Is JPS gonna be a one man show? I know JPS special, but quite frankly, I don't think he is that special...well not so special that he can pull it off by himself.

[Sivart the Sloth Trencher]

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

He's not doing this by himself... He's just putting it together.

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

I'm just curious, and I am in no way trying to pressure anyone, but when are we going to start posting are comments and suggestion for the guide?

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

Yeah all Im doing is posting what is needed, keeping it organized, and compiling it, this will be a strictly all-community pavilion project, and each person who contributes something will have their name in the credits.

In addition to the online guide I will be producing actual strategy guide books, but theyre going to be rather expensive to produce(only because of the ink), I'm honestly expecting the book to be anywhere from 250-300 pages in total length, so we might end up cutting a lot of the borders I had planned down to save on ink costs...If I can keep ink costs down I may be able to sell the books for about $25, but Ill be selling the books for what it costed me to produce them, I wont be turning any profit...so if it only cost me $15 to produce, thats what itll sell for.

Valks a busy guy, Im not going to haggle him for extra work, me and sivart has been doing layout designs anyways so we're still getting something done, even though it may not seem like it.

I'll be out of town until monday or tuesday, so the forum can be held off til then if you want Valk, Im under no stress on getting this thing started right now, theres still a lot of initial planning that needs to be done.

In all actuality this guide will take upwards of 5-6 months from start to finish depending on how active people are in contributing things, if people stop contributing things, Ill take over and finish it....either way it WILL get done.

Added a section

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

That is great to hear, JPS. If we can get upwards of 250 pages just for RPGM 3, imagin how many we'll get out RPGM 2! I hope the RPGM 2 guide doesn't bomb though, that would be a huge let-down, at least for me it would. To be honest I think that game needs a guide a lot more than RPGM 3 does.

Are you selling the RPGM 3 guide on store shelves, or just on Ebay, or just to us?

Anyway, it's great that you're going to all this work just to make a RPGM 3 guide.

Forum created. JPS assigned as moderator.

I know you said it could wait until monday, but I really didnt feel like hearing about this constantly over the weekend.

[Valkysas]

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

spam the forum, and get banned from the forum. this is a serious project, no "yay, pointless first post" threads.

I will give no further warnings.

Well thank you Valk

Itll be sold at product cost only on the pav and only to regulars, seeing Im using my jobs equipment I dont want to seem like Im abusing my position at work, so I dont want to use it too much.

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

couldnt we just use lulu.com or something?

Re: RPGM3 Strategy Guide Forum

Looking at it right now
