I posted at two rpg forums regarding this free pdf called Cursed Life.  The threads are at  http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=378459 and http://www.therpgsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9077.  The posters offered good opinions on where to go with it next.  The options have boiled down into the following two options.

1.  Add more material such as npcs, adventures, artwork and more rules and then sell it as a print option.

2.  Keep the core book free and sell the supplements.

Realistically, I will probably keep the core PDF free and sell a print copy of it.  I'll probably just keep the B&W artwork in it and sell the core book print version for cheap.   I will sell the supplements, both PDF and print.   This method will be different than the one I am using to sell my other rpg line, Divinity.  

It is being sold pdf only for right now and I am selling the core book and supplements for that line.  The Cursed Life line selling method is a bit more experimential, at least to me.  The free version already has hundreds of free downloads but I also know they do not translated to a one on one sale.  In fact, for every print or pdf sale, there will be 30x to 100x more.  Therefore, thousands of copies need to be downloaded before selling the print copy and going any further.

The download link for Cursed Life is at http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=51686 or http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=51686.  If you are new to buying PDFs, feel free to try this rpg out.  It is being offered for free.  

I know, more links but here are the links for the main store sites.  They do a much better explaining themselves than I do.  www.rpgnow.com and www.drivethrurpg.com.  

Until next time...
