BEARity

Welcome back, Bearmasters

I’m working on the business plan surrounding the financial aspects of BEAR GAME. I have decided on a couple of things. First, all cards and packaging will be printed on recycled material. It would be unfortunate if any acual bears or bear habitats were harmed in the making of this card game. We certainly don’t want any lumberjacks to meet a sad fate at the wrong end of a bear claw. Actually, I’m not sure there is a RIGHT end of a bear claw. They’re all deadly. Unless we’re talking about the doughnut variety, in which case, all roads lead to delicious.

I digress.

The other thing I have decided is that a sizable percentage of profits (I’m thinking the range of 30-50% sounds about right) are going to go toward a charity (BEARity) that will be established concurrently with the launch of the game. This BEARity will provide homes and food to underprivileged  bears without a nature reserve. I’m thinking I want to buy up land a square inch at a time and donate it to a nature preserve what bears live in. Perhaps if revenue increases, I’d like to implement a BEAR OF THE MONTH program, where we focus on awareness of endangered species of bear. Although there is a chance that they’re not really endangered and are likely hiding underground and massing their numbers, I feel as though we should all curry as much favor as we can for now so that perhaps they will kill us mercifully quickly when the Great Bear War comes.

The OTHER other thing I have decided: There will be a digital version of Bear Game. At first I might just set it up through software like OCTGN or something like that and eventually have my own program designed. The program itself will be free, unlimited use, not a demo, etc. Each new expansion of cards will be made available at the same time as the physical cards. The only cost for these sets will be a donation of your choice to BEARity. You will have to make a donation for every set your purchase. I’m considering making a $1 minimum, but given the success of the Humble Bundle and sites like Band Camp that often let buyers set their own prices, there very well may be a minimum donation of a penny. I shall have to do more research on this.

I may post some mechanics stuff tonight, unless I get lazy.

EDIT: HAHAHAHA Just kidding. Mass Effect 3 came out. AND THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT
