You should totally crowd fund it! Incidentally, did you see this Gamasutra article from a couple of weeks back? It mentions a few alternatives to Kickstarter (as do some of the comments): http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6369/the_crowdfunding_revolution_.php Free Spacer’s fun, and you’ve got some good art.

You should get it on Kickstarter. I'm making a video for one of my projects right now too. The funny thing is that I just showed the same video in class to some students and then you post this. Good Luck with Free Spacer. Yeah, it's the easiest thing in the world to start a game, one of the toughest to actually finish! Hey your project sounds cooler than this one.

Fortunately, InDesign can be used to layout, test, and produce all of these formats with plugins and such. Our plan is to layout each format and test it. As long as the result is easy to read and reference people will be happy. There isn’t really a baseline unfortunately, it seems that you will have to do a different layout for every format.

I'm thinking of doing some rpg resources as pdf in the future, and knowing the min spec would be handy. Does a baseline even exist?

So you just end up with pages on a screen the end up being a pain to read. Out of all the PDF's I've purchased only one publisher took the time and did a "screen" friendly version that was laid out so it was easy to read on most computer screens. And before you ask, I really don't remember which one it was. It was way back during the d20 boon when a gillion people were churning out d20 stuff.

I am very, very interested in publishing my first PDF this year so this was a great guideline. I think I'll end up using DriveThru RPG or RPG Now; they may take a large cut, but the fact that they have little to no fixed costs associated with selling a product through a publisher account means that there is almost no risk If the PDF doesn't sell... I assume. THANKS!! Great guideline. I am very, very interested in publishing my first PDF this year so this was a great guideline.

Another problem with digest is that players don't take digest games as seriously. 8.5×11 by far. Another problem with digest is that players don’t take digest games as seriously.
