Hey All
David and I are working on a 15-minute demo for Solipsist (well, OK, David has done all the hard work so far)... so I thought I would throw it up here. Partly for general feedback and partly as an example in how I see 15-min demos.
I'll go scan the characters in a upload them too...

DAVID WRITES:
Okay, so let's think about this demo scene

I've been watching the sales of Solipsist, and I've been very interested to see where the issues are going. For example there have been a number to Germany and France, but none to the UK (outside people I know, or sold to at Conpulsion) and it got me wondering why.
For those of you who track where your sales go, do you notice any interesting distributions? Are there regional preferences for Indie games, or for individual games?

OK, I have run my reports today to get sales figures for Solipsist. It's been available since 12 March as a PDF and print pre-order. It was fully launched on 22/23 March at Conpulsion in Edinburgh.
To date we've sold...
Direct Print = 27 (20 at Conpulsion)
IPR Print = 9
IPR PDF = 6
OBS PDF = 8
Total = 50 sales (14 PDF/36 Print)

Most of you have probably seen this on the Forge / Story Games already, but I needed to get round to posting this here.
So ... I got to run my first ever game of Solipsist entirely to people who had never seen, read, or played before. I'm glad to say it all went really well, and the players enjoyed it enough to buy my last two copies :)

BoxNinja releases Solipsist, A Game About Changing Reality, by David Donachie
RELEASE
Edinburgh, UK, March 6, 2008 — BoxNinja today released Solipsist, A Game About Changing Reality, by David Donachie. Solipsist is a 96-page digest-sized role-playing game available in both print and PDF format.
Solipsists are people who think so strongly and individually, that they can literally change reality, teasing out the fabric of the consensus and changing it.

The very first copies of Solipsist are in my hands and I am so excited! :) It is green, lean and ... well very very green!
These copies are from Lulu, rather than Fidlar Doubleday, due to Mongoose suddenly deluging Fidlar with urgent print runs. That means that the copies at Conpulsion will, in all likelyhood, also be from Lulu, but they are very very nice, so that's fine. The Lulu books are larger than the Fidlar ones will be, which makes the cover look ever so slightly odd if you look closely, but they are otherwise perfect.
