Let's Get Our Games Out There!
Plus project updates: Banda's Grove and GMless Player Cards!
Good news for both retailers and our fans! We have partnered with a wholesaler marketplace called Faire to allow retailers to purchase directly from our stock. We hope this makes the process easier to get our books into your stores. Further, we are also on Bits and Mortar, which allows local gaming stores to provide free PDFs with sales of our print books!
What This Means For Our Players
For the fans of our games - this means you may have access to our books in more of your favorite stores! We hope to get our books into your favorite local stores or online retailers. In addition to game stores, we hope to spur interest in other stores as well: outdoor outfitters, gift stores, stationery stores, artisan and craft stores, and local bookstores.
If you’d like to help with that, let your favorite stores know about our games and that they can order wholesale through our Faire page, or direct them to Indie Press Revolution (direct links below).
Information for Retailers
You can find our wholesale storefront here: pandiongames.faire.com
And if you have an IPR Retailer account: www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Pandion-Games
With Faire, we can support international orders and shipping, as they take care of the legal logistics for us, and they offer new Retailer accounts free shipping for a year and $100 off your order. In addition to that, they provide 60-day payment terms. We ship directly from our stock here in Greenville, SC to you.
If you’d like to be added to our retailer mailing list, please email us and we’ll get you added.
For our Fellow Creators
To other game designers out there who have physical books or products: Consider setting up a Faire account (it’s free). Working with IPR and directly with indie TTRPG retailers is fantastic (and we’re doing that too!), but Faire broadens your reach outside traditional TTRPG spaces and may make it easier for indie retailers to purchase your stock (or restock them).
In addition to that, the more creators we have offering their games on Faire, the more visibility all our games will have overall as more and more people see the outstanding things we’re making and begin searching for more.
Faire is a marketplace of 80,000+ retailers, we need to let them know the indie TTRPG scene exists and is amazing.
While we are still learning the platform ourselves, feel free to reach out to us, and we can work together through questions and considerations.
If you do create an account, consider using our referral link to help us out a bit.
Project Updates - Banda’s Grove & Player Cards
We are hard at work on Banda’s Grove, and we’re currently hand editing the proof copies and updating the layout for usability.
We have given one of the copies to a local artist, and she is identifying where she can add little sketches throughout the book. This will likely go well into next year to get the work done.
A big project we are working on is GMless Player Cards! These will be a pack of 12 high-quality cards to use at your table while playing GMless TTRPGs to help players drive the story, action, and sprinkle in surprises. If this initial pack does well, we have ideas to release game- and genre-specific expansions.
The writing is done and the card and box dimensions figured out. We’re partnering with Milk Toast Studio to have both the cards and boxes letterpress printed on thick card stock. And as of today, the artist on the project has started creating thumbnail sketches for the artwork!
Until next time!
