Even though this is primarily a blog about book publishing, Bandwagon also creates and publishes games, so it seems a good time to talk a little bit about that. Also, sometimes it's good to have ancillary products that go with your books, which is the point behind some games coming out for Relic Worlds, including The Lost Worlds, which is due out later this year. (Probably October.)
I first tried to go with Victory Point Games, which is a group of people I admire and enjoy. They also asked me to work with them, so I did. After more than a hundred hours of working with them, developing three games and testing others of theirs with them, they flaked out on me, even acted like I hadn't been working with them for a while, and it all fell apart.
So I'm developing it myself and am producing it through an independent printing site, and will be distributing it through Dice Game Depot.
Here are the sites I'm deciding between:
Superior POD
http://www.superiorpod.com/category#.U6dHG_ldUpo
The Game Crafter
https://www.thegamecrafter.com/
The Game Crafter is more expensive, but they also distribute it on their site. Superior POD is less expensive, but do not distribute, although they are working on something for that.
I'm going with Superior POD because my pieces make the game too expensive with The Game Crafter. However, their distribution center makes it attractive for future games.
