Title: Ad Exchanges
Post by: Keith Senkowski on May 11, 2004, 04:30:46 PM
I noticed in several products I have purchase after discovering them through the forge that in the back they have ads for other games (which has often led me to search out those games leading to a vicious cycle of spending).  My game, Conspiracy of Shadows, is slated to be published in July and was wondering if anyone else is publishing a game this year (or printing a new copy/edition) and be interested in exchanging ad space.  Please post or contact me if you are interested.

ORX is coming out this year. No real release date yet, but I'm hoping fairly soon. Definitely in time for GenCon.

As such, I would be interested in an ad exchange. PM me and we can work out the details.

Hm, dunno if you'd consider it, but we have our CG coming out here end of the month- be glad to throw in some ad stuff for you at the conventions or a business card in the deck boxes.

That's a neat idea, but I don't know if I can get them to you in time if you plan on hitting the shelves at the end of this month.  What kinda numbers are we talking if I go the business card route?

Eh, get me what you want on the card- I have a friend pritning my business cards, all I have to do is buy the stock (which I can do at discount- I KNEW working for Wal*Mart had its perks!)
I have to repack the cards by hand and only have a couple of cases going out in the first couple weeks even, so thats no biggie to have 100/200 printed up and slipped in~
If you want to send some my way that are a touch flashier, just let me know~ Most decks I'll have are about 1500. If all goes according to plan at least I have the rest of the set to release by GenCon and can add a page to the back of the rules in the reprinting.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.  Would you like me to just send a pdf file of the card or would you prefer something else?  I pretty much can supply any format.  Is it 4/3/2/1 Color?

On my end I need a half page to full page piece in BW.  Again I can take just about any format unless it is some sort of weird non-professional layout format.  If that is the case I just need a little time to see if I can use it.

PDF I imagine would be fine but let me clear that.
Actually being done on an inkjet I do believe, so not regular 4 color printing but still some high quality stuff (he does t-shirt prints as well that look great).

I have some full page (8x11) pieces kicking around for printable fliers and handouts, can send that to you after a quick conversion. PDF work for that? Or you want it in something else? I orignally composed it as a simple image file, so maybe that?

PDF or an image file is fine.  Like I said, I'm real flexible about the format.  I pretty much can convert anything.

We are talking standard business card size?

Yup~
If you're going the PDF route and send me like a page of the cards, let me know what card stock you used- appears the formatting varies slightly, even on "standard" sheets of the card stock~ That way I can pick up the proper stock and life will be peachy ^_^
