Since I'm signing the papers anyway...

[nwah]

Thought I'd let the cat out of the bag. It's hungry. :D

The paperwork I'm signing is my contract to sell minis on Paizo.com. Paizo minis. Tied in with Paizo products.

I REPEAT: Paizo has given me the go-ahead to make mini packs available for sale on their website.

We (Ben and I) hope to have the first set out as soon after Pathfinder #19--Legacy of

That's awesome news. It wasn't that long ago I was begging Paizo to take more of my money by putting out counters for the APs, and I really liked the blog post on Paizo's site showing the "prototype" minis, before they were technically prototypes I guess.

Yeah, those were the early days, back when it was all strange meetings I only heard about vaguely through Wes. It was a pretty damn intense waiting session, I'll tell you. :P

There might be some new prototype images up on my DeviantART site sometime, since Ben and I are working on making double-sided minis. I'll put a link up on my LiveJournal when/if this happens.

Are you planning on trying to set up pages for double-sided printing, so the front side and the back side line up when you print them out? That may be really hard, given that every individual printer is going to have some quirks, and getting those outlines to line up will be a pain. If you want double-sided minis, might be better to put them as adjacent mirror images on the same side of the paper, then the user just prints, cuts, folds, and glues to get a back-to-back mini.

Yeah, months ago, when people told us how much the liked the One Monk minis, Ben mentioned to me that double-sided could prove tricky to do successfully. I agreed soon enough, after he beat me half to death with his logic-pole. But i can see a few advantages to the folding style, not the least of which being that the ones I use at home are all double-thick (cardstock spray-mounted on more cardstock) to improve durability. So now, everyone will get double-thick minis! :D

{That, and how to make a cover.}

See, I'd consider that part of the fun. :)

{am I gonna need to put a big pile of copyright info}

As far as your own copyrights are concerned, all you really need is "©2009 (your name)"
Paizo will tell you what legal info they want on it. :)
As far as the "any similarity to any persons" goes, that's a Hollywood thing, I don't recall ever seeing it on an RPG.

[nwah]

Oh, I've gotten some thoughts on the covers. And with Photoshop, a basic cover mockup should be somewhat easy to do.

I hope. :P

Cool, that sounds good. I'll send an e-mail off to Jeff Alvarez about it.

That "any similarities" thing was a feeble attempt at humor. I knew it had failed the minute I typed it out, but I just couldn't bring myself to destroy it, so I fobbed it off on the Internet, where its existence would raise few eyebrows. :)
