Planning my next Book Bomb

8 Comments

I will be doing another Amazon Book Bomb on October 29th, just in time for Halloween. 🙂

And this time I will be promoting SPACE ELDRITCH.

Think Lovecraftian Space Opera.  And since I know a bunch of the authors and I got to alpha read some of the stories, I even wrote the forward. I first heard about this when Howard Tayler asked me to alpha read his short, and it was absolutely awesome, straight up space horror.

For those of you not familar, a Book Bomb is when you get as many people as possible to buy a specific book on the same day in order to boost their sales stats and get them showing up on various best sellers lists, which causes more sales and more exposure. I’ve got a pretty good track record on these. 🙂

MHI Kickstarter UPDATE: 10 Days to Go

Leave a comment

We are 138% funded at $62,123.

We are nearing the home stretch. Only 10 days left. We’ve added patches, dice, an extra PDF of monsters, and very shortly we will be breaking in to the top 10 RPG Kickstarters of all time.

At just over 70K (the #9 spot on the top 10 list) we will be adding a PDF of some extra adventures. At 75K we are dropping the price for additional books. And then at 82K (the #8 spot) we will announce another goal.

So thanks everybody for being so awesome and supporting this project. We are going to turn out one heck of a cool coffee table book of monster face shooting awesomeness. Now with 10 days left, please tell your friends, mention it on your blog, tweet it, facebook it, all of that good stuff. Thanks.

Why yes, even more stretch goals. Because that is just how we roll. 🙂

So since we’ve funded we have added new patches, MHI logo dice, an extra PDF of monsters, and now we are going to go for even more cool stuff. Here is the latest update from Steve Long:

All right, Monster Hunters, since we’re nearing the $60,000 benchmark, it’s time to announce morestretch goals!

—if we reach $62,724, we’ll enter the Top Ten RPG Kickstarters (as far as we can tell, as of today). This will bring great honor to the Monster Hunter International Tribe! We don’t have any special thing planned for this, but we wanted to call it out so y’all could be proud of yourselves. 🙂
—if we reach $70,102, that puts us in 9th place for RPG Kickstarters. To celebrate this milestone, all backers at the $25 tier and above will receive a bonus PDF containing four adventures for the MHI RPG! The adventures will be written by Steve (and possibly some other folks) with some input from Larry. We don’t know what they’ll be yet, of course, but we’re going to try to make them good introductions to the MHI RPG with any maps or other resources you need to run them.
—if we reach $75,000, we will reduce the cost of all additional copies of the MHI RPG by $10, to $50! The first book you pledge for will still cost $60, but all extra copies you add after the first will only cost $50. (If you’ve already pledged to get extra books at $60 each, you can reduce your pledge to take advantage of this.) If you want extras of any of the higher-tier autographed or numbered books, contact us for information on that.
—if we reach $82,880, we’ll be at 8th place for RPG Kickstarters. We haven’t made up our minds what we’ll do then, but we’re considering a few things. Stay tuned….
And remember everyone, that this weekend special is an awesome deal. For every new pledge, or every upped pledge, Melvin the Internet Troll promises to send ONE LESS spam email! That is huge! If you tell all of your friends, we could stop Melvin from spamming for literally DAYS.
We are still working on last weekend’s special pledge drive. Ed has a veritable stack of chickens and Skippy is firing up the chopper. Bring honor to the tribe! Up yours today! (pledge that is).
