Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)

At my parent's house with a bit of room, so out comes the overhead frame. Time to make some videos for my board game designs.

@golgaloth

I for one am curious what you've been developing.

@Computer A few games. I'm terrible at selling them, though. My resolution for this year was to get videos done for my four main games and start sending them around to publishers.

@golgaloth

Citizen Dawkins, please explain your process for crafting and presenting a pitch to publishers. Pretend that Friend Computer was such a publisher for the sake of practice.

@Computer The usual pitch is to send a sell sheet. But these days there are so many people who think they can design games the companies usually require a video to give them an idea of how the game plays. So the general pitch package is a sell sheet and a video. Usually followed up with a video meeting or face to face meeting at a convention, then I'll send in a prototype for them to play, then I'll file the rejection letter and move onto the next publisher.

Well explained, thank you. +1 commendation point has been awarded to your account.
