In the Dark Ages, There Was No Skype (Monday Meeting Notes)

Monday Meeting

Not one of the Clan examples in this mock-up of the V20 Dark Ages Screen is on Skype in that illustration. Nor were Eddy and I earlier today for our planned Monday Lunch Meeting as our words kept dropping out and going all robot-y. So we canned that talk in favor of talking during the 1pm Onyx Path team meeting, also over Skype. Since they all could hear me fine but Eddy was still dropping out, it was obvious that the previous meeting’s issues were the result of Eddy’s bad connection. Logic proves that he, and not I, was the poo-head.

One of the things the team talked about was the value of reviews on all the various social media as well as on DTRPG, so here’s a shout out to all you folks: do you read reviews as a way to determine what you are going to buy? Are they something you listen to a lot, or just as another viewpoint? What propels you to decide to pick up and read or try out a game book?

We also discussed Halloween and how we wanted to celebrate it as a company. I just set up our participation in DTRPG’s Halloween Sale, and we’re going to do a special sale via a discount to our Onyx Path Mailing List subscribers to thank them for letting us ruthlessly market to them several times a week. (You too can join the awesome Onyx Path Mailing List by filling in the info it asks for to the right on the Onyx Path site screen.) We also discussed some sort of online costume contest this month for prizes. Dress like your character? Or any character? Or just coolest costume regardless of subject? Or best wearing of one of our t-shirts? We’re still working on ideas.

And of course we talked about our Deluxe V20 Dark Ages Kickstarter that funded in hours not a week ago and is now over 300% of our goal with a bunch of Stretch Goals under our belt. Very happy with how the project is shaping up. Earlier today I posted this Update to the KS, in fact:
