Iapetus Fantasy
Lucca:
I thanks you for your gracious feedback!
I need to print multiple copies of the book, as several people are working on it, and it is a cross nationality work. So i need to print copies for the artists involved, the test players who gave valuable feedback over a period of 2 years. As many of us are working in the gaming industry, it is also our contribution to the table rpg which is showing a decline due to the advert of MMO games. We have many good ideas but unfortunately what works and good for rpg and games would meet with resistance by the MMO due to many factors like time, programmning and stuff like, we stick to what works; less risky.
So the Iapetus Fantasy is to the point, with complete Character generation, Class, Race, Spells and a Monster Compendium.
We sincerely hope everyone would like this orginal piece of work! Thank you!

I stick the class illustration in the above link. When I have the time, i will link the Races and the Monsters!
Thanks Eero Tuovinen! I am thinking of Book Surge but gotten have to wait till i have the funds! I hope that in the meantime, there would be some players for the 1st edition promo book!

Hi everyone!
The website is up! It will give a much easier review rather than some random pictures! Thanks for the support! After months of editing and finalizing, it can now be pre-ordered:)

Hi Lucca. As you've noted, the problem with using Lulu for a full color book is that it is prohibitively expensive. As Eero says, you can list the book on Lulu and on your site and hope that people will order it. This is what I do with my games, and I've had a bit of success. The problem you have is that $65.00 is a lot to ask for a 200 page color book. Few gamers are going to take that chance.
You can absolutely get a lower price through another printer.
ComiXpress gives an estimate of $18.50 for a single copy of your book (or 18.00 if you run one of their adds on the inside back cover). Compared to $33.63 (which is what I assume Lulu is charging you), this is pretty good. You could probably drop your cover price by the difference and have a sellable book at $39.99. I'd buy it.
There are a number of printers that can do color books at similar costs. You'll want to get samples so you can see the quality. Getting samples from 3 or 4 different printers will cost a bit, so I suggest getting some recommendations first. I've dealt with both ComiXpress and Ka-blam, and both do pretty good work. A quick scan of the forums here will turn you up a bunch of printers.
