Twelve days from now, Æternal Legends — my modern fantasy roleplaying game — comes out. It seems only a couple of hours ago that we had a month to go. The real bugger is that we can't offer pre-orders yet. The other real bugger is that apart from the readers of a couple of livejournals, nobody really knows about the game. I must be honest, I'm a bit scared that nobody's actually going to buy the game.
It'd be fantastic if everyone reading who doesn't think it's a silly idea could spread the word. Mention the game to friends and other gamers. Sell them on it. Convince them to download the free preview and give the teasers a look. Because we can't offer pre-release copies, it's hard to get local game stores to buy in to the game, but if you can convince people you know to check it out, that'd be fantastic.
A primer as to our target audience (if you've not been reading along): Anyone who likes at least two of
RPG.net's policy on self-promotion is murky at the best of times, but if people could include so much as a link in their signatures that'd be incredibly cool. I'm worried about going there just to promote my own game because I've not really posted there before — I don't want people to ignore my posts because I just shill my own wares.
Full "how to buy" information will come on the 24th of August. The book will be offered as print-on-demand or PDF through lulu.com
Until then, links to either http://www.mobunited.com or http://mobunited.livejournal.com/tag/aeternal+legends would be appreciated.
