Pulsipher Game Design

Black Friday once-a-year online course sale for Lew's Udemy courses

Black Friday once-a-year sale: you've got to do it before someone beats you to it.
As you may know, I do not take part in Udemy's kamikaze marketing, nor in the craziness of affiliation. This may have cost me some money (all the big earners participate) but I prefer to treat online teaching as something like books and good college classes, not like get-rich-quick schemes and super-discounted PC video games. So I'm not part of Udemy's kamikaze Black Friday marketing.
I confess I haven't gone out to shop on Black Friday for longer than I can remember (and I'm 63). But I will "join in the party" online. I have not offered this kind of thing before and may not again, certainly not anytime soon.

So here is a one-time-this-year promotion. I have discounted my classes much more than normal, but there are a *limited number* of coupons for the discounts: three each at "level one", five at "level two"; and an unlimited number at the "normal" discount (which exists only because I get a much larger percentage from my coupons than when someone signs up directly, without a coupon).
As always there are plenty of free previews available in each course, and a 30 day money back guarantee.

This was offered first to people already in my classes, so it's possible that some levels are already exhausted.

Level One (three coupons each):
$20 off Learning Game Design (list $59)
https://www.udemy.com/learning-game-design/?couponCode=LGD%2420off
$10 off How to Design Levels/Adventures for Video and Tabletop Games (list $33)
https://www.udemy.com/how-to-design-levels-and-adventures-for-games/?couponCode=LevDes%2410off
$10 off How to Write Clear Rules (and game design documents) (list $29)
https://www.udemy.com/how-to-write-clear-rules/?couponCode=WCR%2410off
$5 off Brief Introduction to Game Design (list $12)
https://www.udemy.com/brief-free-introduction-to-game-design/?couponCode=BFI%245off
$9 off Get a Job in the Video Game Industry (list $15)
https://www.udemy.com/get-a-job-in-the-video-game-industry/?couponCode=GJ%249off
In percentage terms this is a very large discount, 60%, because it is my one class not primarily about game design.

Level Two (five coupons each):
$15 off Learning Game Design (list $59)
https://www.udemy.com/learning-game-design/?couponCode=LGD%2415off
$7 off How to Design Levels/Adventures for Video and Tabletop Games (list $33)
https://www.udemy.com/how-to-design-levels-and-adventures-for-games/?couponCode=LevDes%247off
$7 off How to Write Clear Rules (and game design documents) (list $29)
https://www.udemy.com/how-to-write-clear-rules/?couponCode=WCR%247off
$4 off Brief Introduction to Game Design (list $12)

https://www.udemy.com/get-a-job-in-the-video-game-industry/?couponCode=GJ%246off

The "Normal" discounts (you'll recall I receive a larger cut from a coupon than from someone who pays full price, so I always offer these):

Conventions and Conferences
I have completed the first part of a free course about game conventions and conferences. I may not be able to post it on Udemy (it will be on courses.pulsiphergames.com) because so much of it is not yet done.

Digression
I'll be giving a talk about "Space Wargames" at PrezCon in Charlottesville, VA in late February.   I love designing them, though many of the published space wargames are too detailed for my liking (or too bloodless!).
