    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    That's correct. Ones that clearly came from Kickstarter itself, not an outside link.

    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    Your own circumstances are almost certainly different than mine. When I look at the cost of making a book around like 160 pages with full color art, professional editing and layout, and all the other things to just produce the book itself and then pay for the offset print run and all its...

    I Wore Every Hat in My Second Crowdfunding Campaign – Here’s What I Learned

    Really great insights and I agree with a lot of it. For me, the big shift in the complexity of our projects was switching from print on demand to offset printing. POD prices went up, quality went down, and the amount of books we were shipping was high enough to switch to offset printing but it...

    What do you do when a Player dies?

    I had a friend named Bryan. He was autistic and not in great shape and went too early. When we met him, it took our group some time to really figure out how best to play with him.

    Raiding old western films for a short campaign arc.

    I've run Bone Tomahawk adventures like ten times now and love them. So has Rob Schwalb for Shadow of the Demon Lord and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. It's clearly a favorite of his. Brutal movie but a fantastic horror western.

    D&D General What I learn from DM 600 sessions of Adventure League

    These are fantastic observations! Can you talk a little more about the 600 games? Over what period of time? I'm assuming like six to ten years? Is this all 5e or other OP systems? In store or at conventions? How many unique players? How many regulars and how many new? I'd love to hear more of...

    D&D General How Do I Help Mentor a GM Making Rookie Mistakes?

    Have you shown her Shadowdark? That might fit the style she's aiming for more than A5e which is pretty super-heroic fantasy. Someone else might have already suggested this... sorry. My general feeling is that its ok to describe how you feel about things if you're not having fun but in a...

    Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head

    I don't see anything in the write-up to assume they'll be farming out actual D&D books. It sounds like the attention is on movies, TV shows, and games.
