<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Considering the the ongoing impact of
Covid, I'm pretty pleased with how things went in 2021. Sales of The
Black Hack were solid, but we ran out out of print copies in June and
so funded a reprint with a Kickstarter campaign. Stock of The Black
Hack will go back on general sale in early January 2022 and we should
have enough stock to last another 18-24 months. The Black Hack in PDF
form clicked up enough sales to become a DriveThruRPG Adamantine best
seller, which is quite an achievement when you consider that only 136
other titles have managed to reach the same status.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We ran 2 other Kickstarters during
2021. The first was an intentionally small project to print some
Dungeon Geomorph mapping pads. The second (Dungeon Master's Little
Black Book) was also intended to be a small project. However, it
smashed its goal and went on to get over 1800 backers, which is more
backers than we've had for any previous project. The welcome success
of that project generated a lot of extra work. I did have another
small project ready to go, but I had to shelve it to focus on The
Black Hack reprint.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2021 saw a tentative return to
conventions. Squarehex had a stand at both the UK Games Expo in
August and Dragonmeet in December. We were anxious about returning
the the shows, but thanks to the rules in place we felt safe at them.
It also helped being part of an island block of stands with our
friends at All Rolled Up and Patriot Games.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2022 Plans</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first job of the New Year is to put
The Black Hack books and boxed sets back on general sale. At the same
time I'll attempt to tidy the Squarehex webstore up a little. There's
also a fair bit of admin work I'd like to do including a full
stocktake and reorganising our storage, show stock, and getting new
convention signage.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We'll be back with more Kickstarters.
My list of potential projects now runs to several pages, and there
are at least 8 that could potentially be selected to run this year.
In no particular order they are:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another dungeon geomorph project</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lichway</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Black Hack Classic Characters book</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">A small notebook project</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">A Black Hack adventure/s</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another Little Black Book</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">A game box project</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">2.5D Dungeons</span></li></ul><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I expect that we'll run 2 or 3 from
that list and there's always a chance that something else will come
along that manages to jump the queue. I'd also like to print some
more mapping paper pads, but the rising cost of Overseas postage is
making it increasingly hard to distribute them.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Italian fans of The Black Hack will be
interested to learn that we have signed a license deal for an Italian
Edition of the game. I'll share more details about it when it's ready
to launch.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If they run, we'll be back at
conventions in 2022. We've booked a stand at the UK Games Expo in
June already. We also hope to be at Continuum (local to us in
Leicester) in August, and Dragonmeet in December.</span></p>

the reality of 2020 for many businesses, Squarehex has had another
relatively good year. The main downer was not being able to attend
any Conventions. However, we did get some government support which
partially made up for what we lost due to the cancelled events. We
managed a couple of mini Kickstarters (Combat Counters and Keyboard
Mapping Pads).</span></p>
<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The
main project of the year was The Black Hack Classic Monsters book. It
did better than I expected on Kickstarter, which led to the book
having some extra pages. To be honest I was quite glad to have the
extra work over the Summer putting it together and then the
fulfilment in the Autumn.</span></p>
<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ongoing
sales of the rest of the Black Hack range have been strong throughout
2020 and we've had a few more stockists carrying our products. The
main impact of Covid on web orders has been delays in the postal
system. Thankfully, even with delays we had very few parcels that
didn't eventually arrive.</span></p>
<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For
2021 it looks like it will be Autumn at the earliest before even
smaller Conventions can run in the UK. From a business planning
perspective I'm making the assumption that there won't be any large
Cons in 2021, but I hope that I'm proved wrong.</span></p>
<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Brexit
is also presenting a few problems for UK businesses. Sales to the the
EU only make up about 20% of our business, and it looks like the main
risk will be that export orders to the EU may get hit by VAT in some
countries. It's too early to tell how much of an issue that will be,
and what impact it might have on sales. The increased cost of postage
to the USA and the current strength of the £ are bigger threats at
the moment as the USA accounts for about 50% of our trade. The strong
£ also reduces income from PDF sales as they are generated in $.</span></p>
<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My
main plan for 2021 is to keep my head down and bash out a couple of
small Kickstarter projects before the Spring (Dungeon Geomorph Pads
in mid January and a Zinequest project in late February). Then in the
Spring I hope to have a new Black Hack project ready to go. Beyond
that there are lots of other new things I'd like to get on with.
Maybe I'll feel more bullish once I've had the jab.</span></p><p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvILG7QC0-iDKclZlM07ZsAWjmUJwjQP-BFdP_LDi_OLnazPShS5Et-GFxudJyR64g-Cd_KXHhWrs0kCxhU1YYPgWV227e8Xiz2d_uvpOpXQuE6hcWfz74-V6vidAprAWFygzwrBIRmh4/s2048/BagDraft.tif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1788" data-original-width="2048" height="349" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvILG7QC0-iDKclZlM07ZsAWjmUJwjQP-BFdP_LDi_OLnazPShS5Et-GFxudJyR64g-Cd_KXHhWrs0kCxhU1YYPgWV227e8Xiz2d_uvpOpXQuE6hcWfz74-V6vidAprAWFygzwrBIRmh4/w400-h349/BagDraft.tif" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p></p>Peter Reganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00079169626281586177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670353994059266402.post-80112937593255656882020-06-12T22:33:00.000+01:002020-06-12T22:33:25.173+01:00The Black Hack Classic Monsters Book<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><em style="background-color: white;">The Black Hack Second Edition</em><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><em style="background-color: white;">Classic Monsters</em><span style="background-color: white;"> book project is now live on Kickstarter. </span><em style="background-color: white;">Classic Monsters</em><span style="background-color: white;"> is designed to support and enhance your </span><em style="background-color: white;">Black Hack</em><span style="background-color: white;"> games.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
2019 was a good year for the business.
The two highlights for me were getting <i>The Black Hack Second
Edition</i> rewards sent out to our Kickstarter backers and <i>The
Black Hack</i> picking up a Silver Ennie award at GenCon. Ongoing
sales of <i>The Black Hack</i> have been strong and we now have 2
distributors in the US (Exalted Funeral and Noble Knight) and in the
UK Leisure Games are carrying stock. We should also soon have copies
of <i>The Black Hack</i> in general UK distribution via Asmodee.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Once the main work associated with <i>The
Black Hack</i> was over it was nice to get back to a few smaller
Kickstarter projects to fund print runs of several notebooks and
booklets. In addition to the Kickstarters I'm always on the lookout
for small niche publishing projects. In the last few years I've had
the pleasure of printing material featuring the creative talents of
Kristian Richards, James West, David Black, Dyson Logos, Charley
Phipps and Karl Stjernberg. In 2020 I'll be helping Fish in the Pot
with the UK/EU distribution of their one page dungeon zine.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
During the year we managed to attend 5
conventions (Hammerhead, UK Games Expo, Barrage, Chillcon and
Dragonmeet). I hope to do a few more shows than that in 2020, but
they are very time consuming and apart from the Expo and Dragonmeet
the financial rewards are fairly small.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I start 2020 with a Kickstarter project
(<i>Combat Counters</i>) to complete which should be finished by the
end of February. Then I want to run a follow-up project for <i>The
Black Hack</i> to fund a booklet of classic monsters which will be a
useful supplement for GMs running modules from other OSR/original
games. After that I would really like to tackle a reprint of <i>The
Lichway</i>. I first talked about my plans for that project in 2015.
Although that was a long time ago, when you consider the adventure
was first published in 1978, it's still the recent past really. I
have done more groundwork on the project over the last 4 years, but
more importantly, my ideas on how to best present the adventure have
evolved considerably. In between these major projects I should still
have time for a few small projects to produce paper pads, booklets
and more 2.5D dungeon expansions.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When I started Squarehex I set a very
low financial bar for the business. Essentially, I wanted a hobby
business that would allow me to print niche items with little regard
for how commercially viable they were. That sounds more reckless than
it is in reality as I've never lost money on a project. Indeed all my
Kickstarters are planned so I know the exact weight, cost and postage
for every item before I start. The business has now almost reached
the point where it could be a full-time job. If you'd told me at age
20, 30, or even 40 that I could be doing this for a living at the age
of 50 I don't think I would have believed it. Even though the pay is
a fraction of what I used to earn in the corporate world, I think I'm
now in that small group of people who get to do a job that doesn't
really feel like work. Thank you to everyone that has supported our
projects or bought things from us via the webstore or at a convention
in 2019. I hope we can tempt you back for more in 2020.</div>

Happy New Year!</div>

This time I'm going to produce sets of dry-wip counters for tabletop games. There are several designs and 2 colour choices. If we hit some Stretch Goals then more colours get added. There's also a Designer Pledge Level where you get to brief the design for a counter and then we add it to the project. I shall bring some samples of the counters to Dragonmeet on Saturday 30th November.<br />

It's the UK Games Expo this Weekend at the Birmingham NEC. The Black Hack 2nd Edition has been shortlisted as Best New RPG. We're up against Runequest and Forbidden Lands. There's a Judges' Award and one voted for by the public. It would be great if we could win an award and if you'd like to support us you can do so by downloading the UK Games Expo App (Google or Apple) and voting for us. While you're on the app please lend your support to Paul Baldowski of Just Crunch Games whose Cthulhu Hack adventure Valkyrie Nine has also been shortlisted. It would be great to see one or both of these awards go to us small press publishers.</div>

The mugs will be released at the Expo and will cost £6 each. I've also held back a few that I shall add to the Squarehex site next week.

It's already funded and I'm now also doing some work on designs for the follow-up campaigns.<br />
<br />
I'm planning two additional notebook designs. I'll run short Kickstarters for each of them in quick succession. The first one is a hex notebook with large 17mm hexes on one page and a smaller 7mm hexes on the other.<br />
<br />
The large hexes are arranged as 8 columns by 10 rows making them ideal for charting Traveller subsectors. At this stage I'm not sure whether to add numbers to these hexes and would welcome feed back on this.<br />
<br />
The smaller hexes are arranged with a larger 15 hex super hex outline and a marked centre hex. This is the same format that I use on my existing A5 hex pads.<br />
<br />

Both of these notebooks will have 50 sheets and will be printed on 120gsm paper. In the images the heavy black lines near the margin won't be printed and are just a guide to dhow where the wiro binding holes will extend to.Peter Reganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00079169626281586177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670353994059266402.post-42775824099156056402019-04-10T09:20:00.000+01:002019-04-10T09:20:52.466+01:00A5 Gamers' Notebooks Kicstarter is LiveI've just launched a <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1730454032/a5-gamers-notebook-0" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> to fund a reprint of our popular A5-sized Gamers' Notebooks. The design is almost the same as the previous version. I've increased the paper thickness and reduced the number of sheets to keep the overall weight of the book the same as last time (an important factor when posting them out). The only other small change is that logo on the back cover will be moved to the inside back cover and reduced in size.<br />

It's a short campaign ending on Monday 22nd April. As soon as I've posted the rewards for it I hope to launch a new campaign for a version with hexes.<br />

I'm going to leave the pre-order products up for sale until the end of Sunday so if you'd like to snag one of them now's the time to order.<br />
<br />
After the pre-orders close I'll be putting up The Black Hack range for general sale, but the pre-orders will be better value and they are the only way outside of Kickstarter to get one of the exclusive copies of the book with a cloth/silver cover.<br />
<br />
Here's a link to them:<br />

It now includes PDF bookmarks and we've corrected lots of typos. Since it's launch last week, it's been sat firmly at Numder 1 in the RPGNow.com chart. We've also had a great response from our backers who've helped refine the rules during our beta release and spot typos. We're very close to going to press with the main book now.<br />
<br />
The PDF is available here:<br />

And if you missed the Kickstarter you can still bag a preorder that gets you a deal that's almost as good here:<br />
