This is the Domains Horror Roleplaying System Core Rulebook Crowdfunding!
Yes Crowdfunding.
What does that mean? It means that this book with the 4.99€ price is in fact the complete ruleset. It contains everything you need to play the game.BUT, due to the country restrictions and legal things where I'm from, I cannot start a Kickstarter or any other crowdfunding site. And if I go with a 3rd party I need to pay some 67% of tax in my country.
So to counter that I decided to put my game on here in it's current state.
What is the current state?
The layout and rules are done. But I will need a few other things before I can finalize the whole game. Here is the actual cost list of the game that I calculated and already coordinated with the other parties:- Translator [300€] - As I'm not an English speaker, and English isn't even my second language, I employed a translator to help fix up the text fully, I need to compenstate him for that
- Editing [1500€] - The rulebook isn't edited yet and thus has a few discrepancies. Most of them will be fixed with the full editing of the rulebook by the editing team which are going out of their hand to help me. They are ESL specialists so I'm expecting quality work like they displayed on prior projects
- Art [1000€+] - This would be the baseline art required to call the book complete. As the artist is also from my country, this looks a bit of a low price. But multiply that by 10 and you have about the correct cost.
- Additional tools and resources [200€] - While the layout right now is done, I would need some additional tools, typefaces, brushes, and other things to fully complete the rulebook
What does that mean for the buyer?
Well if you bought this book, it means once the 3000€ have been successfully raised, you will get the WHOLE and FULLY COMPLETE WITH ART version of the game on this purchase. The game currently is in v0. I will update and "artify" every chapter and update the PDF accordingly. Meaning YOU as the purchaser will get the full version of the game for 4.99€.Once the game is fully founded. The cost will be set to the original 9.99€ and then any other buyer will have to buy it at full price.
Goals
So with this here are my goals for this game. Until all goals have been fulfilled I will be keeping the game at the current 50% off price.- Get all tools needed to finalize the game, this would take 58 purchased copies
- Pay off the translator, this would take 145 purchased copies
- Edit the rulebook, this would take 572 purchased copies
- Buy the art and finalize the book layout, this would take 858 purchased copies
Now we get to the actual game part!
