Chris Hanrahan & I have just released the second episode of our short podcast series on publishing RPGs & selling into retail, Concept to Shelf. In this episode, we talk about the math some, which we call “Not losing your shirt?”
Check out the episode here. It runs just under 26 minutes.

As an aid for after listening to the show, here’s the numbers breakdown (and again, your numbers could be different):
