Football prototype

For the last couple days I have been thinking about how much it is going to cost to make our first 100 decks of cards. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to make only the football part I the game as the prototype, this should cut the prototype costs. I figure we will need to make about 60-80 cards and the football game boards. We could then make to starter football decks with about 40-50 cards in each. This would bring our first printing cost to about . 80 cards times 100 copies of each at $0.22 to print is $1760. And about $150 to print 100 game boards. So that leaves us at $1900 to print our first set of starter decks.

Wait, we have yet paid our artists for the card artwork. 78(we already have two) cards times $50 approximately, is approx. $3900. So, $3900 and $1900 is now $5800 instead of the $23,000 we had before. Also, if I am able to do about half of the artwork or if one of you would like to donate some, that would only leave us with 39 piece of artwork to get our prototype out. 38 times $50 is $1950. Now $1900 and $1950 is only $3850 that would be needed to get a prototype made. I am liking this idea more and more. What about you guys? Do you think this is a good way to approach our prototype? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for reading.

Artists and printing costs

I know I haven't posted much in the last couple days but I have been working a lot and have not had as much time to work on our little project here. I have been able to post a few ads on craigslist looking for artists who want to help with getting us up off the ground. We have been receiving quite a few emails each of the last couple of days and I am getting a much better feel for how much artists are gonna want to draw our monsters and other images for cards. so far th going rate for artists hss been in the range of $30-75. With a 225 card deck we are looking at $7750-16875 for artwork alone. Then to get he cards printed we are looking at about $0.22/ card until we are printing 100,000 or more cards at a time. So, with that, 225 cards per deck times $0.22 per card to print is $49.50 complete deck of cards. Now let's say we wanna print 100 decks that would be about $4950. With he two together we are booking at $13,000-23,000. Just o get our first 100 decks. All in all we need to start raising some moola to help fund this bad boy. Also, I need to get my sketch books out and get some more of these cards done on my own. Gotta go to work. Ill type for you later. -SRock
