    Is it "don't want to spend money" or "don't have any money to spend?"

    So, do you guys have the rights to self-publish Blade of the Avatar?

    I appreciate your efforts. I presume you are not able to discuss what that blocker was. I'd still support a "jacket" (and, hey, as an aside @Chris, maybe you could tie this in with a cosmetic/deco item which would go towards this funding?), but a book with a jacket, well, that'd just be icing on top of the cake. ;)

    For the love of god, please use this material as your "lore" for Ep2. :D

    Wondering why Portalarium could have had any of these issues surprise them along the way and they should have had all of their ducks in a row knowing full well that this book would have to be sent out to all of their backers years ago. Pretty poor excuses and at this point I would have settled for any version of the book.

    Minimum order for what I want to do is going to be 500 or 1000 books.

    Must consider...

    That's for the cover only? or including the book?

    Book. This may force us into cover only, but we've got things to discuss.

    Ouch. Maybe do it together with book 2 when it's out? It'll be easier to get the numbers. I am certain there will be people who will be interested in the 2nd book.

    I have not seen it, but have it on good authority that book 2 exists and is being reviewed.
    However, I have no confidence at all that I will be able to obtain the rights to publish it.

    Just for closure, I can't obtain the rights to do this legally.
    The costs and risks of doing it without permission are too great.
    If I pursue this at all it will be one copy for myself.

    Thanks Sir Frank, but not worth you getting yourself in a legal and financial jam.

    That's unfortunate, but understandable. Appreciate your hard work unsnarling the confusion.
