Is the City Council of DuPont, WA making informed decisions? During the 2013 Revenue Hearing on 13 November, DuPont Interim Finance Director Steve Marcotte presented a number of figures which do not add up. I would like to follow up, in part, the comment I made during that meeting: NOTE: You can download this presentation […]
How you do something may say more about you than you realize. I always keep a glass of water on my desk while I work. Because I drink so much water, I often have a pitcher of water on the floor nearby as well. I’m not always at my desk, though. And I have cats […]
GameratiTV is a year old, and I’ve learned a lot from it. Just over a year ago, jim pinto of Post World Games and I were walking through a parking lot in Indianapolis the Wednesday before The Best Four Days in Gaming. We were talking about his new company and game design, as we do, […]
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) has a series of great articles about how parents and teachers can engender a love of reading in kids. If you have a little free time, they’re worth your attention, even if you don’t have kids and even if you’re not a teacher. Why? Many of the principles mentioned in these […]
Testing prices at local retailers for MSRP optimization. Google’s Website Optimizer is a great service. It allows you to test all sorts of things on your website, from whether a red button performs better than a blue one, to which call to action results in the most clicks. Too bad there’s no MSRP Optimizer service. […]
Just as snowmelt is an important part of the annual water cycle, events can be a watershed of content that continually refreshes your community. While Spring is in bloom, here in the Pacific Northwest, the news is warning that the Northeast may see snow this week – up to a foot, in come locales. It […]
I have come to appreciate the need for focus, in my life as well as my business. Last year, I took the time to create an About page on my website. This is not a fun task. It’s hard to distill who you think you are down to a single document – one that you […]
I’ve managed the banner advertisements on a number of great gaming websites for the last few years. What started with the Kobold Quarterly home page has expanded into a network of sites visited by over 2 million gamers and comic book enthusiasts each month. Recently, with the rise of Kickstarter, I’ve had the pleasure of […]
Magazine advertising is one way you can reach out to new customers. Here’s some tips you might find useful. Magazines are just one of many options available to businesses looking to reach out to new customers. Unlike online advertising options, such as banner ads, magazine advertising presents some unique challenges, in that it’s a little […]
The recent Mashable article on Facebook’s new status limit included everything from Bambi to the Bible. Here’s my version, using RPG products. Background: Facebook recently made it so you can post status updates up to 63,206 character long. Here’s a couple RPG-related products that would fit wholly within that new limit. Pumpkin Town Created by […]
I’ve managed the banner advertisements on a number of great hobby gaming websites for the last three years. Here’s the best-performing banners from companies that advertised on these sites in 2011. The Gamerati network now serves over 25 million impressions to over 1.5 million gamers and comic book enthusiasts each month. To date, we’ve served […]
Today, I spent some time trying to figure out how many members of my extended virtual community live… in or near my physical community. From time to time, an event organizer or store owner will ask me to help them get a handle on how many gamers live in their area. I don’t have a […]
I attended NeonCon in November 2009. This is a part of the talk Ryan Macklin and I gave as part of CreativeU.
Four years ago, I sat down and scrawled out some thoughts about what I would like to do to help the hobby game community. Over the last couple years, I’ve been able to support my family promoting games, and now it’s time to tackle some of the more ambitious ideas I had. But, before I […]
The Looxcie “Ear Cam” has been upgraded, and I can’t wait to try it out. Last September, I wrote about the Looxcie “Ear Cam”. It operates like those blue tooth tools people have on their ears, but you can shoot video instead. Well, the Looxcie has a new look and some new toys to go […]
GetGlue is a new social network for entertainment. A simple GetGlue summary: You can check into the media you’re consuming; books, movies, music and games. You can even check into ‘ideas’, but that seems a little nebulous and silly, so I’ve not paid any attention to this option. It’s very similar to foursquare, and you […]
Jim Morrison died at 27. What can he teach us about accomplishments and motivation, 40 years later? I watched When You’re Strange (aff), the 2010 documentary film about The Doors, tonight. The film reminded me of the fact that Jim Morrison was a member of the so-called 27 Club – that he died at a […]
Thanks to gaming, I’ve met many great people and had many great experiences. Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax, thanks for making Dungeons & Dragons, which introduced me to the hobby side of games. Frank Mentzer, thanks for designing the killer ‘Red Box’ D&D set that captured my imagination, even if Bargle got the better of […]
Someone asked me which is better, Google+ or Facebook? With the recent release of Google+ Business Pages come the expected comparisons between Google+ and Facebook. I’ve had my own thoughts about the pages themselves. Today, someone asked for my personal thoughts as to which is better, Google+ or Facebook. The answer: It doesn’t matter. The […]
The fast food industry has spent millions of dollars to figure out how to market to us. What can we learn from them? While in Oklahoma City, as part of the Gamerati Tour, I had the chance to have dinner with the crew from Super Genius Games. According to the Geniuses, I just had to […]
I’ve managed the banner advertisements on a number of great hobby gaming websites for the last three years. Here’s the best-performing banners from companies that advertised on these sites in Q3 2011. The Gamerati network now serves over 25 million impressions to over 1.5 million gamers and comic book enthusiasts each month. To date, we’ve […]
Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor or retailer, the type of customer you will have is determined by two factors… The ven diagram is a good way to represent many things. In this case, I’m illustrating how types of customers are attracted to businesses. This could be equally true of social groups, charities, and the […]
Watching people leave the McDonald’s drive-thru got me thinking about customer retention, and addiction. I’m currently in Bozeman, MT as part of the Gamerati Tour 2011. Because there was no event today, I had the pleasure of eating dinner… alone. Unlike Phoenix, the weather here is cooperating, so I decided to cop a squat outside […]
Customer Lifetime value (CLV) is a pretty simple, yet important and powerful, concept. Basically, you’re asking this: How much profit can I expect to see from my relationship with an average customer? At the basic level, this is an easy calculation. Let’s take the publisher with a single product: Cost to Customer – Cost of […]
I’ve managed the banner advertisements on a number of great hobby gaming websites for the last three years. Here’s the best-performing banners of the last 12 months. The Gamerati network now serves over 25 million impressions to over 1.5 million gamers and comic book enthusiasts each month. Between April 2010 and March 2011, over 100 […]
Over the past few months, I’ve walked dozens of publishers through the process of setting up vanity URLs for their Facebook pages. If you don’t have one yet, here’s how to make one. What is a vanity URL? By default, your Facebook page has a URL that looks something like this: facebook.com/pages/Your-Page/1234567890 A vanity URL […]
Loot is two weeks old, and though it finally reached profitability this week, it’s too early to draw any lessons from the sales figures. I can say, however, that I had an object lesson in website analytics. Links From Influencers Rock In the first week, 1,862 unique people visited Loot 2,595 times. Most of these […]
I launched a new project this week. Called Loot, it’s a deal-a-day site focused on games and game-related products. In addition to helping with customer acquisition / social proliferation, Loot is also a way for me to test marketing theories. Week 1 is done. This is what I’ve learned. Lesson 1: Good People Are Gold […]
“At its heart, business is not about formality, or winning, or ‘the bottom line’, or profit, or trade, or commerce, or any of the things the business books tell you it’s about. Business is what concerns us. If you care about something enough to do something about it, you’re in business…” – Sir Richard Branson The […]
Have you ever heard of orienteering? It’s an interesting sport – the marriage of cross-country running and land navigation skills. Basically, you’re given a topographic map that has a number of points marked on it, and your job is to reach each point and cross the finish line as quickly as possible. You’ll make mistakes. […]
What would it be like if a half dozen aspiring publishers got together and spent a few months in intense product development? What if all distractions were removed, so that they did nothing but help each other grind the rough edges off their ideas. What if they did marketing research together, shared information about artists, […]
I signed a contract with Blue Sky Factory today, engaging them to be my ESP. This doesn’t mean I’ll be hooking up to electrodes and guessing at Zener cards. Not that kind of ESP. Blue Sky Factory is an Email Service Provider. Why an ESP? Well, over the last few years I’ve been using Gmail […]
The ENnie Awards turn 10 years old next year. Right now, they’re running a series of interviews on the ENnie Awards blog, and were gracious enough to ask to speak with me. You can read my interview here. Also make sure to check out those given by Rone Barton, John Reyst, and VSCA Publishing.
Steve Garfield wrote a short post today about The Future of Video. One of the products he linked to is a wearable camcorder from Looxcie. You can check out some early reviews on Amazon.com (aff). Think Jawbone, but with a video camera attached, able to record up to five hours of video (according to the […]
Vincent Baker posed an interesting question on Twitter today: “Hey, fellow RPG publishers, I’m thinking about PDF pricing. How do you price your PDFs compared to your books, and why?” I haven’t been a publisher for a number of years, so I’ll leave the ‘why’ part alone. I thought it’d be fun to poke at […]
When picking up a new roleplaying game, I have two related questions in mind: (1) Why is this game fun? (2) What can I do in this game? Answers to these questions are our first priority when we interview people for the Atomic Array podcast. They’re also the focus of the first two paragraphs of […]
Both unity and uniformity can be used to describe a unified group of people. The terms are not the same; they bespeak two differing types of unification. In particular, they address the mechanism by which unification occurs. First, some definitions (source: Merriam-Webster)… unity 1 a : the quality or state of not being multiple: oneness […]
On Friday, I wrote about some of the analytics tools I’m building so that hobby game publishers and retailers can learn more about what products are selling, where, and to whom. As part of the Gamerati Analytics project, I went out looking for a way to render maps based on geographically significant data. I knew […]
The RPG Countdown podcast would not be possible without sales statistics. You can’t rate products without knowing how many copies are being sold, right? Thankfully, a number of publishers and retailers voluntarily share their sales figures, giving us numbers we can compare. The comparison is imperfect – we don’t have a record of every sale […]
I’ve managed the banner advertisements on a number of great hobby gaming websites for the last two years. What started with the Kobold Quarterly home page has expanded into a network of sites visited by over 750,000 gamers and comic book enthusiasts each month. During that time, over 100 companies have run campaigns with us. […]
Motivation is one of the biggest daily challenges I face. I have a mountain of things on my plate; it’s easy to get overwhelmed just thinking about them. When I look at my In Box and see 47 non-SPAM messages, I grow weary. When I add to that the appointments on my calendar, and the […]
During my second tour in Iraq, I decided to leave the Army. I wanted to see my baby girls grow up-not something I’d be able to do while on government sponsored camping trips in the desert. If I wanted a relationship with my children, it was clear that a career as a soldier wasn’t for […]
Chase VISA sent me an offer in the mail today; enroll in the FREE Chase Freedom program and receive 5% cash back on various purchases between April 1st and June 30th. I’m not sure how many home improvement purchases I’ll make over the next couple months, but when I do I’ll enjoy the kick back. […]
During the chaos that was 9/11 in NYC, mobile communications were a mess. The World Trade Center used to be an important hub the mobile architecture in lower Manhattan. Until mid-afternoon, it was virtually impossible to make contact with anyone, if you were relying on a cell phone. In 2007, I became aware of the […]
You can spend a fortune on podcasting gear. If you’re an audiophile, part of the fun of podcasting is building different rigs for different uses. This can get expensive, though. More importantly, if you spend a lot of time on the road, it can be a logistical nightmare. Lugging around a ton of high-end A/V […]
Guest: Philippe-Antoine Ménard, the Chatty DM Recorded: 18 March 2010 Mentioned: * http://chattydm.net/ * http://www.perf.etsmtl.ca/ * http://twistimage.com/ * http://www.paxsite.com/paxeast/
Early last month, Darren Rowse, Brian Clark, Chris Brogan and Sonia Simone launched Third Tribe Marketing, “a private community where like-minded people help each other out. It’s based on a combination of education and interaction that takes everyone’s Internet marketing skills to a higher level.” The dual-pillars of education and interaction support the Third Tribe. […]
Is Gmail your primary email environment? It is for me. I use a number of Google’s services, and having a Gmail account makes using them easier. The general lack of SPAM is also a nice bonus. One of the features I use extensively within Gmail is Groups. By creating these lists within my contacts, I […]
Guest: Scott ‘Aldie’ Alden from Geekdō Recorded: 17 March 2010 Mentioned: * http://popurls.com/ * http://alltop.com/ * https://rpxnow.com/ * http://www.geekdo.com/ * http://www.shacknews.com/ * http://www.gamecabinet.com/ * http://www.funagain.com/ * http://www.ted.com/ * http://www.boardgamegeek.com/bggcon
I have a problem I can’t solve, and I’m hoping someone reading this can help. I’d like to dynamically tack a set suffix on to blog URLs before feeding them out into various channels. Example URL: http://ephealy.com/sample-blog-post Let’s say I want to tack on a tracking code for Facebook before feeding it to a Facebook page so that […]
My internet is down. Again. This isn’t the second time this month, or even the third. I have logged ten days without service for more than an hour in the last four weeks. Just today, I’ve been without service three times. I’m tired of this up and down, connected and unconnected, lifestyle. I just spent […]
The most recent article from Zen Habits smacked me across the face more than a couple times. It’s not that I’m in a hurry, but I’ve complicated my life so much right now that ‘going slow’ doesn’t feel like a viable option. Relaxation is hard to come by. Read The Article: How Not to Hurry […]
I have hundreds of bookmarks. Some of them go to sites I check daily, some are there as an ad hoc TO DO list, and others are just garbage I meant to get to but never did. In January 2009, I had the same problem. Instead of trying to figure out which ones to keep […]
A short note to let you all know that I have decided to stop representing Kobold Quarterly (published by Wolfgang Baur) and Level Up! Magazine (published by Goodman Games) in order to pursue other opportunities in 2010. If you would like to advertise in either of these great periodicals in the future, you will need to contact Wolfgang Baur […]
A retailer asked me for help reaching out to the gamers in their area. I responded with a the following suggestions (partially edited): Google Local is important for website traffic for local businesses. If you’ve already submitted your shop, good job. If not, make sure you’re listed. IDEA: Sponsor game days at the local library. […]
I’ll be attending a number of events between now and the end of the year. If you’re in the are, I hope to see you there: Victoria Comic Convention (Victoria BC) http://www.victoriacomicconvention.com/ NeonCon (Las Vegas, NV) http://www.neoncon.com/ Emerald City Gamefest (Kenmore, WA) http://emeraldcitygamefest.org/ OryCon (Portland, Oregon) http://www.orycon.org/
For some reason, Facebook has decided to limit the number of people who can see your updates to 250. For those of us with more than 250 Facebook friends, this is not good. If Facebook allows 5,000 friends, wouldn’t it be nice if 5,000 people could view your updates? There is. Step #1: Click on […]
I called John to tell him what I found out about the prevailing prices for PDFs in the 96-page and 128-page range. Have a listen: http://ephealy.com/transparentgames005.MP3
John and I decided we need to find a new home for this project. We also talked about money, doing market research, and putting hard-core development on hold until we can integrate Jess into the mix. Have a listen: http://ephealy.com/transparentgames004.MP3
NOTE: This email is part of the Transparent Publishing experiment John Wick and I are playing with. John, At some point, we should have a little chat about ‘boring business stuff’—stuff like how we’re going to handle money, whether we’re going to pay for any contributions, or whether we’re going to look for people to […]
John and I talked about some higher-level stuff; the game’s going to be about moral choices. We riffed about some crunchy stuff, such as alignment, favors, and social combat. Right now, John’s contacting Jess Heinig to see if he’ll be our system monkey. Fingers crossed. Have a listen: http://ephealy.com/transparentgames003.MP3
John and I decided some more stuff. We’ll be using our blogs, instead of email, to send messages to back and forth. We’ve also decided what we’ll be writing about and, tentatively, what system we’ll be using. Have a listen: http://ephealy.com/transparentgames002.MP3
John Wick and I are starting an experiment. Have a listen: http://ephealy.com/transparentgames001.MP3
I hated going to the dentist as a kid. When I was 7 (?), I had six teeth pulled because of crowding in my mouth. It was terrifying. My girls went to the dentist today—and loved it. They came home telling stories about ‘the fun dentist’, and asking when they could go back. What can […]
I had a blast at Gen Con this year. It was a big show for Moonstew – Rone and I released nine episodes during the show. “The best for days in radio!” Here’s a peak at the madness: This Just In…From GenCon 2009! Pre-show #2: On the second pre-show episode of This Just In From […]
I cohosted an episode of This Just in… with Ryan Macklin and had a blast. Guests Eddy Webb (White Wolf Publishing) and Brennan Taylor (Indie Press Revolution) were awesome. I’m not sure if we talked about anything important, but we had fun.
If not now then when Tracy Chapman, “If Not Now…” On a recent episode of Atomic Array, we featured Geist: The Sin-Eaters, the new storytelling game from White Wolf Publishing. I like many things about the game, but the one I keep coming back to is the tag line: “A Game of Second Chances.” Part […]
On the second pre-show episode of This Just In From GenCon 2009, I joined Ryan Macklin to talk about convention survival. We went into the 1-2-3 rule (minimum of 1 shower, 2 meals, 3 hours of sleep per day) and some tips that we’ve picked up from their years traveling the convention circuit and from […]
‘Making money’ selling digital RPG products is tough. It’s certainly possible, if approached properly, but if you want to see more than a token return on your products your best bet is to go print. The demand for digital RPG products is growing, but the digital side of the industry hasn’t matured fully. Yet. It’s […]
I love my iPhone. It goes everywhere I go because it allows me to bring everything I do on the road. Almost everything; my life and work are increasingly mobile. At the core of my iPhone infatuation is the ability to access and maintain my contacts, email and calendar in real time. Personally, I use […]
Shel Holtz has been helping companies communicate for over thirty years. In 2005, he started For Immediate Release: The Hobson & Holtz Report with his co-host Neville Hobson.

Dana McDonald works as an environment artist at ArenaNet, the company that makes Guild Wars. He and his wife also craft custom terrain for miniature war gamers, which they sell through their company, Custom Kingdoms. I met Dana at ConQuest NW in January. Through email, we’ve been discussing the art of terrain sculpting. Below is […]
When Google announced Wave, my impression was that it was a glorified messaging protocol. Based on their preview videos, it appeared that Wave would allow you to hook into various services, such as YouTube and Flickr, pulling in content to share in a conversation. The live updating and thread branching features looked interesting, but I […]
I was watching TV with my wife the other night when I saw a commercial that, to me, epitomizes what is wrong with so much advertising. The commercial starts out with a guy tooling around in his garage. He’s working on something, but you’re not sure what it is. At first, I thought I was […]
I asked a number of industry professionals to join me for an informal chat about board games. We talked about a number of things, from the apparent strength of the current board game market to ways all levels of the industry can help each other bring more games to more customers. gamerati Hans Isaacson: President […]
In the Spring of 2008, I moved to Bulgaria. My wife began helping with her sister’s business – a consulting firm that specialized in servicing foreign real estate developers interested in opportunities in the Republic of Bulgaria. My eldest attended pre-school during the day, while my mother-in-law watched the little one. Bulgaria was an opportunity […]
I’ve been tracking various key words on Twitter for some months. My hope is that I can determine when chatter about certain topics spikes, so that I can better help promote the products and services of the companies I work with. For instance, I have a new podcast coming out this week. It’s a show […]
Q1 2009 was abysmal, as far as online advertising revenues were concerned. Have things changed? I didn’t wake up one day and decide to be an advertising salesman. I certainly never expected to run ads for a network of sites. No, my expansion into the world of online advertising was by chance. When someone waves […]
Wolfgang Baur will join me and Rone Barton to host the Open Design Podcast, a monthly show about game design and dungeon mastering. Skip Williams and Monte Cook will make regular contributions.

If you’re not familiar with augmented reality, there are a number of Googleable references. This video from Matt Dickman will give you a good idea of what I’m talking about. OK, so now that you know what it is, let’s talk about what gaming companies can do with it. Privateer Press could imprint unique icons […]

Helping design podcast shows, including format, […]
I decided to check my enlistment contract for the US Army today. Why? I wanted to figure out how long I had until my initial 8 years is up. See, even though I’m not on Active Duty, I’m technically still in the Army until 8 years after my enlistment date – though classified as Inactive […]

Everyone has drama in their lives. I don’t know a single person that has had something happen to them in the past that’s left a permanent scar of some sort. Most of us are blessed to have small scars, but some aren’t so lucky. Some people really seemed to get kicked around by life. They […]
I sent out an informal survey to some of our Atomic Array listeners. I’m still pondering what all the responses mean, but here’s the results so far: (1) How did you hear about Atomic Array? 47%: Host mentioned it on message boards or in IRC 24%: Promotions 12%: RPG Podcasts.com 6%: Google Search for “RPG […]
It’s important to measure ROI when spending marking dollars. Tactics change (both in price and effectiveness) over time, so I regularly evaluate them to see if I can find the ones that will give my clients the greatest bang for their buck. Today, I’m thinking about online banner advertisements. Why? Because, for all their faults, […]
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) sent me a mailer for their Green Power Program today. It’s a fairly straightforward program. You choose to switch the source your home (or business) uses for power over to renewable energy sources, in whole or in part, and agree to pay the added expense it costs PSE to provide this […]

Modern online advertising technology (Google, Facebook, etc) allows an advertiser to target a specific demographic based on any number of criteria. As someone who manages advertising for a number of websites, one of the most important targeting criteria is geography. Service providers and retailers want to communicate with local clientele, not some random Joe. This […]
Today is my rez day. Today I am one year old. For those of you familiar with Second Life, a rez day is not a foreign concept. For the rest, a rez day is your Second Life birthday—the day you signed up for an SL account and became a resident. How was my first year […]
A few months ago, I asked about game reviews and whose opinions you trusted. Based on the feedback I received here, and other venues, I compiled a list of names – people considered to be the best. I approached each of them and asked if they would like to be a part of a new […]
I preparation for my upcoming Cthulhu game, I’ve been looking for inspiration from some cool real-world creatures. Enter, the siphonophore: OK, I cheated. The siphonophore is not a creature, but a colony of jellyfish-like creatures, called zooids, all acting in concert. Anyway, I think the video speaks for itself. Enjoy.
