They're numbers from 2017 or so, but I think 98% of the TTRPG market share is D&D- Paizo has 1%, and everything else shares that last 1%.

Monetizing your YouTube Audience is a thing. I drove to PAX East one year exclusively because Matt Colville was doing a talk there on it (that was literally the title of the talk), and at the time I was considering doing content creation etc. and was a fan. I think this was after S&F's...

How are rests handled during exploration encounters? The larger challenges can take more than a day. I guess it'd be helpful to have a couple different examples of play re: what could be done with them- Sunspots for instance can take place over days. Lets say 3 days: When the players want to...

I was considering make a thread, asking if anyone actively plays with the DnDNext playtest rules- there were many iterations, and some had some cool ideas in them. I recently came across what AFAIK is the complete collection of all of the playtest PDFs. I'm wondering if there are things to look...

Oh no! You're right!
