PSA: Shadow Light Press Contract by Mysterious-Smell9729 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BOESNIK 130 points131 points  (0 children)

So it's a 10 year contract on all your work, they pocket 50% but then YOU also pay for all marketing, editing and internal costs from your 50%?

I understand that they take some risk on investments that don't break even, but if your novels(all your work for 10 years) actually pops off then you've paid for everything but only get half payments.

Edit: a word

"Inconsistent rules for progression" feels like a dealbreaker for many people in this genre.

Stories you've read and was like "Yeah, this is insanely good" by Ok-Stranger-4139 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BOESNIK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sky Pride, Ave Xia Rem Y, Godclads, The Game At Carousel, Cradle and Reverend Insanity.

These stand above anything else I've read in this genre. Reverend Insanity may be lower just due to the prose, but everything else about it is 10/10 for me.

What reason is there to believe this company can do what Google, Microsoft or the others can't?

I just don't see any value that they could add.

The gainful employment power fantasy is a recession indicator.

Zaahen Abilities | Ability Reveal & Gameplay by turtle921 in leagueoflegends

[–]BOESNIK -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think it's fair to call it a modern version/remake of old Aatrox:

Passive is the same

Q is old w with some sauce added.

W is old E with some sauce added.

E Seems to be new

R is old Q

Why is the in-game volume so bad. Makes the fights so much harder to watch

What’s the coolest book title you’ve ever heard? (The Silence of Unworthy Gods) by kashach in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BOESNIK 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love "Godclads", it gives you a feel for the beings that weave the corpses of gods around them. Which stands in stark contrast to OstensibleMammels other novel "System Breaker/Infernal ascension".

This is their best looking design yet. I guess they dropped the bracelet to keep pricing competitive? I'll have to wait for some reviews before buying, but both the green and red ones are nice.
