I think it is fantastic that is this day and age, people have the resouces to bring their creations to life. Not too long ago it never would have been possible... the expense of producing product and distributing it would have been enough to crush most would-be publishers. Of course the downside is that the market is much more competative, but that just makes you work that much harder to have a quality product.

Though it is true that the market is competitive, I think it is important that indie card game publishers work together. We need to band together if we are to stand a chance against the Wizards.

Well of course networking is an essential part of sucess online, and anywhere in the business world for that matter. As long as two publishers are not in direct competition, there's no reason they shouldn't help each other out. The fact ofthe matter though is that at some point there has to be the people that fail and the people that succeed... in the end not every shark gets to stay in the pool if they expect to get bigger.

fortunately the name of the game with online projects is perserverence. The majority of creators online be it cardgames, webcomics, video bloggers, etc will simply give up before too long because they can't keep up the pace. Easy to start does not mean easy to maintain, and most burn out before too long.

Very true, on all points. I hope to see you guys trucking along for some time though. :P

We are getting everything together for our next release, and we should be able to make it into shops. If you ever want to look into another printer, let me know. Also, drop me an email telling me where to send your samples. I can finally send them.
