[boyo]

Yes m8 - was going to get in touch to make sure you were still OK for me to use it

No probs, would be nice to see it in print!

yea, it would - have had it for a while

Just to check that I am not being a total censored but if you do not reach your funding goal then no one pays any money

[boyo]

That's how it works yea - so I will revert to paying myself to get it printed, or look to get paid adverts outside of the IndieGOGO campaign.

I'm looking forward to another issue of RF. Very much.

That's awesome news Chris. Obviously, with a new mag / mags in the pipeline, it must only be a matter of time before a new retro fusion event........

[boyo]

Will get the mag done first - looking to have it done for Replay. Then I will think about an event

Ok, now I could be missing something here, but you want $6,000 to help fund the next 3 issues, right? As you say (and I don't dispute) the biggest cost is printing -fair enough.

So why are you are only offering a total of 21 printed copies as perks (of only one issue, despite wanting funding for 3)? To me that makes it look like you want people to fund a magazine they would then have to pay again for to get a hard copy - and also means that all bar 21 hard copies you sell would be pure profit (however that is distributed).

So am I missing something here?

Hi Gabe,

Good feedback m8 - I have changed the first perk to $5 for a digital copy and then $10 for a printed first issue. Let me know what you think.

I have a printed copy of Issue 0 here with signatures of those who attended The Retro Ball, even the late Richard Joseph. Do you think this would make a good perk?

Very good decision!

Sample article of the next issue of Retro Fusion - SPACE 1999 Toys :

Looks smart Chris

But shouldn't the word "Space 1999" perspective be facing in the opposite position in the heading?

Talking to a Marketing Director in a big games company at the moment - interested to know more about the magazine.

Also meeting up with David Perry next month to discuss the mag - he is over from the States.
