Default Re: Easy money for Shrapnel and Malfador.

They'd need to sell stuff on a small scale. Television production costs are incredibly high not to mention the fact that a tv program needs to be syndicated or picked up by a network. Unless they have some wierd connections and Aaron has a rich uncle, anything more than a local cable access show is impossible.

Small-scale merch like t-shirts, mugs, hats, mouse pads, etc. are much cheaper both money and time-wise to produce and will probably make more money. Plus those things double as advertising. I know of several webmasters who sell this kind of stuff to help support the cost of their website.

I wouldn't mind wearing a shirt with some cool SE4 phrase or something on it, or springing for some Dickies with the SE4 or MM logo embroidered on them. It helps MM & it makes me feel cool.

I agree, the TV and Movie ideas are a long way off, but good ideas for a few years down the road.

As for the few paragraphs of info, there is much more that didn't get into the game plus the little provided can be easily expanded without changing much. Like the Eee-Drushocka conflict. Hell, base the TV series of 50 turns of SE.

As for everything else, I think Shrapnel and MM should contact Ertl and see if they want to do a model kit line on some of the SE4 races. Also releasing a clothing line would work. www.cafepress.com
