I’ve reinvested some earnings into another one of Lord Zsezse Works‘s excellent template packs, Demonic.

This is one of the sets that comes complete with back covers, as well as the standard front covers and papers.

Admittedly, this is another set that I have no planned, or even thought of, uses for; it was bought because it was on offer at a good discount. Still, it will undoubtedly be useful at some point.

I’ve purchased another two template packs from Lord Zsezse Works on RPGNow. These are the Celtic and Elves 2 templates.

Now, I don’t have any immediate plans – or even any future plans – for these, but the purchase came about because they were part of a charity bundle product I purchased from Fat Goblin Games, which included a variety of other items, including some horror stock art portraits – something else I don’t yet have a use for.

These two template packs have the normal four sets of covers and papers seen in the other packs, but these also have four sets of matching backs as well.

I’m sure they will prove useful at some point and, like the others purchased, they are really very nice.

With the Christmas in July sale going on on RPGNow (in which Azukail Games is also participating), I’ve picked up another two template sets using reinvested publisher earnings. Unlike the Sci-fi set, these are two that I had planned to purchase.

The two sets are, once again, some of the lovely products from Lord Zsezse Works. One is the Steampunk set, the other the Horror set.

These will be used for future supplements and, in the case of the Steampunk set, I’m going to go back and use it for two existing ones at some point.

These are probably the last two sets that are needed for the moment, although there is another set I’m considering getting.

Another template set has been bought using reinvested publisher earnings.

It’s another pack from Lord Zsezse Works, Sci-fi. This is one of the packs that comes with back covers as well as front covers and papers, in four different designs and in US Letter and A4 sizes.

Although I had planned to buy another couple of template sets, this wasn’t either of them. In fact, I don’t have a definite immediate use for this particular one, and there are a further two or three I might have purchased first. However, it’s one that I have potential future uses for, and it was in a two day sale when I got it, so I decided to make the most of the discount.

Not everyone who buys products on RPGNow/DriveThruRPG accepts emails from those who published the product they purchased.

This is often understandable. Fear of having your email account flooded with updates from many different publishers can account for this – although this can be a good reason to set up a separate email account.

Not getting emails from publishers means that you can miss out on special offers. For example, the recently released Tomes of Alchemy had a special discount sent out to everyone who had purchased a product previously, and agreed to receive emails.

This wasn’t everyone who had purchased of course. Those who hadn’t agreed to accept emails didn’t receive this special discount. Some of those who did took advantage of it. It’s possible that some of those who hadn’t subscribed bought the product at the full price, missing out on a discount.

We often target emails to a certain degree, although finer targeting is going to become less possible as more products are published. Still, at the moment, assuming that you qualify for every email sent out, this only means one email a week. Most won’t be discounted, but some will, with the discounts tending to be for the more expensive products.
