I’m considering starting up my consulting gig again, offering personalized one-on-one consulting services to games publishers — rather than one-size-fits-all advice essay products.

I’m a 20-year industry veteran with experience in all tiers, a top 3% platinum publisher on the OBS sites, and have been covered by the Associated Press in articles about electronic publishing featured in the Washington Post, CNN/Money, The London Times, and more.

The consulting contract would entitle you to conference calls (phone or Skype), emails, etc., answering whatever questions you have; whatever advice you require, full marketing and/or business plans, etc — in short, you get me “on staff”, to pick my brain, as much as you want, specific to your company’s needs, for the entire period of the contract (ranging from one week to 3 months).

Interested publishers should contact me via email at gms@adamantentertainment.com, and we can discuss further. I’ll also be attending GenCon and will be available for meetings there.

….aaaaaand, we’re back.

South Thomaston, Maine:

Very pretty.

Very not-100-degrees.

Very, VERY 1650 miles away.

Interesting.

For all the hubbub surrounding 4th Edition, and the constant internet threads surrounding “controversy” of publishers choosing to produce compatible releases without signing the GSL….

After the first week of sales of our 4E product, Scourge of the Rat-Men, I have to say that I’m disappointed.

The PDF is moving sluggishly (a hair less than we see for the first week of a Superlink release, in fact), and we’ve sold only a bare handful of print copies. Not what I expected, at all. I wasn’t banking on cornering the market, but I figured being pretty much the first available third-party 4E adventure would have led to a sales spike of some sort….

Publishers thinking that anything *remotely* like the boom of the 3rd Edition days is going to happen with 4E should seriously rethink their plans.
