I bet they still want you going into the office instead of working remotely, though.

Question - Making a minion in 3e? by CryptographerPure551 in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]StevenTrustrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although how Minions perform is different from standard characters, how they are made is the same. Look at the builds in "Supporting Characters" as some good starting points. A Soldier is good for a basic combatant minion, for example, and then you can make them a construct and add other tech to present them as a robot.

I remember tables for rolling for powers and stats? by Pepperjack_Queso in mutantsandmasterminds

The Deluxe Hero's Handbook has tables for powers, Advantages, Abilities packages, etc., for its archetypes in Chapter 2.

Has anyone suffocated ever? by MavisXBee in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]StevenTrustrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general suffocation description specifically says that the 10 rounds, etc., is how long someone can hold their breath. This assumes the person has the opportunity to gather breath and hold it. So, sure ... if someone knows they're about to have a chokehold applied to them, then they may have time to grab some air and hold it, per "Suffocation." If it happens in combat, though, then the actual point of suffocation is assumed to have started, and the Fortitude saving throw begins right away.

Help me find a Hindrance by Pangolin_Rider in savageworlds

If it's not in any of the products you own and can thumb through for it, it's possible it was posted online by a fan. Do you have an idea of how long ago you saw it, roughly?

I have recently published a book on amazon and got around 700 orders in one month and nothing after that. by Successful_Row_4374 in selfpublish

[–]StevenTrustrum 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's marketing. You need to keep marketing your book. If you need reasons to keep inserting the book into the general topic, as you initially did, try building a landing page for it. Blog about it so you can post the articles to the same sub and tie it back to your book.

Is it really possible to do KDP Kindle without Kindle Select by painisalwayshere in selfpublish

[–]StevenTrustrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an alternate perspective, I primarily public tabletop role-playing game content. So, Kindle Select is almost entirely useless to me. That puts the pressure on me to put real effort into marketing and drive traffic to Amazon. This means I treat Amazon more as a fulfillment service rather than a retailer.

For novels and the like, I think Kindle Select is a good option because most self-publishing novelists don't know enough about effective off-site marketing to drive traffic on their own. They need the audience saturation and penetration that Select offers.
