[Flying Pincushion Games] A Little Bundle of Joy (not a baby)

[YuenglingDragon]

We're offering a bundle deal on Into the Breach books The Oracle and The Witch!

You get two bucks off and a bunch of new toys for your spell casters!

---

Opinion time: How do you guys feel about bundles like this? I had the idea that we might offer a bundle every time we release a new book that includes that book and our previous release. So the next one would be Witch and (spoiler alert) Gunslinger. After that Gunslinger and whatever's next (you won't get our whole release schedule out of me, scallywags!) and so on.

Does that sound appealing or a waste of time?

Would you rather see bundles with more of a theme?

Bigger bundles with bigger savings?

So, I've got to tell you, I love bundles, and I hate it when a bundle goes out that I've already got a piece of, like when Abandoned Arts did their big Archetype bundle and I already owned 3/4 of the stuff that was in it. Yeah, I want it, but I also don't want to re-buy a bunch of stuff I already own (like how I have multiple .pdf copies of most of DSP's psionics books from 3 different sites :P )

Don't suppose you guys could do a subscription or bundle deal where the savings are roughly equal either way?

[YuenglingDragon]

I have no idea how subscriptions work on the various major retailers but it adds an additional layer of challenge.

When you get someone to pay up front like that you need to make sure you have your production schedule locked down tight so nobody is left hanging. That's kind of scary. What of our layout guy gets sick? Freelance layout is hugely expensive and I'd be utterly terrified of having to put that negative on the balance sheet.

Stuff to think about, though. I have the same issue you do with a lot of bundles. I've always assumed I just wasn;t the taret audience for that product but maybe no one likes bundles.

[Changing Man]

I like Bundles, but if I'm going to go for a bundle I'm going to go for a bigger bundle. With just a few products, I'd rather just 'cherry pick' what I need at the moment and not get a % savings than pay more for some things I may end up never using.

Unless the bundle is being offered up & the proceeds are going to a charity or cause that I can relate to (Such as the FDG Mega-Bundle to help support Mr. Hershey whose wife has Crohn's, for example). In that case, even if I already have 75% of the products, I'm still likely to support it 'just cuz'. Y'know, Gamers helpin' Gamers and all that good solidarity stuff. :)
