Over 500 downloads of Oubliette Issue 7 in the first 24 hours!

Downloads of the latest issue are really motoring.  I sent out 1,300 emails through RPGNow.com earlier today and people started acting on them within minutes.  I'm also really thankful to all the blogs that have given the free download a mention.  In the first 24 hours of the Issue 7 giveaway over 500 have been downloaded, which is over 100 more than we had at the same point for Issue 6.

Tomorrow I'll catch up on promoting the giveaway on gaming forums and I'll also start my direct mail campaign to UK game stores.

  2. Happy to be one of the 500!

    Great zine, and will definitely be picking up the back-issues sometime soon.

    BTW the "Oubliette Issues 1-4 Compilation (print@Leisure Games)" link on the right goes to an error page.

  3. Thanks for spotting that. I can't find it on their site now, so they've either sold out or it's got lost after their redesign. I'll look into it tomorrow and get the link fixed or removed until thay have them in again.

  4. I was one of the 500, and I must say I am very happy with what I have seen of the issue so far. I will definately look at some of the back issues soon!

  6. Just wondering if issue 7 will be out by Wednesday as Lulu are offering another great deal: buy two get one free with the code BUY2GETONE305. It ends Wednesday, though. I already have a bunch of stuff sitting in my cart but mean to get issue 7 when it comes out so wondering if I should wait...?

  7. I've ordered a proof from Lulu but I doubt I'll get it until the end of the week. As soon as I get it, and provided it looks ok, I'll put it on sale. I'm hoping they'll extend their codes, or release some new ones, as I was hoping to use them to replinish my supplies of the back issues.

  8. Okay. No worries. Besides Lulu seem to be coming out with plenty of generous codes in the run-up to Xmas.
