Until recently, professional ttrpg writers were not even making professional rates compared to journalism and professional writing groups like SFWA (Science Fiction Writers Association.)

If GAMA offers seminars or education on UCC-1s and other paperwork, they should be saying something. It's so frustrating how almost each individual has to learn how to run a publishing/gaming business from scratch in this industry.

Not disagreeing but I'd feel like it would be less about creation as the dragons seem more about order and control. Both sides seem to manipulate others as compared to creating new things or ideas. That is the beauty of having a new bare bones setting, the designers can tweak things as you...

I probably comletely wrong here but I feel like Dragon Magic is one of those things where the designers know the fans want it but secretly dread designing it so they make it the final highly unlikely stretch goal. "Okay, they took us over the line, we at least owe it to them. Darn it."

204,000?!? Holy crap! I can't even imagine that sort of event. Of course, I've never done any mega events like SDCC.

RPG books need to be an instruction manual, a reference guide, and an engaging lore document. It's a hard juggling act.

So the store we went to was only allowing one freebie after a qualified purchase. I don't know what the qualifiers were but a $12 dice set worked. Only one person was running D&D, so it was nice to see other games run. Though the games were CoC, Avatar, Cyberpunk, and Bunkers and Badasses, so...

I'm at least running Dragonbane tomorrow, thought store has interesting setup. They pay for group of DMs (or for one dude to wrangle some DMs) to run a weekly D&D night. The store is having the same group run Free RPG Day. This made me a bit leery as I could imagine that most of these DM would...

Which country, if I may ask?

Well, I called it and got lucky. The paid DMing group emailed me back. My contact said he'd had never heard of Dragonbane and in the spirit of an event that's about wider exposure to ttrpgs he would allow me to GM DB that day. I appreciate that part. I could be reading too much into this, but...

I wouldn't be surprised if both studios bought some off the shelf assets to save time and labor, especially if they used the same engine.

Thanks! Same. For many years I ran a weekend open ttrpg table at my old FLGS. Then COVID hit and then the owner passed away at 54. I set up another open gaming table at a great new store last year but it eventually became a regular table and then eventually moved to the new GM's house. If I...

So I found a nearby store that's doing Free RPG day and called up to volunteer to run Dragonbane. Turns out they outsource their D&D nights to a professional DM group who will also run free RPG Day. I could be wrong, but I don't have high hopes a group paid to run weekly D&D will be as excited...

The Arkand and Magic Book KS has passed half a million and had to come up a second round of stretch goals.

With respect, as the gamer who is always trying new systems, I've seen the opposite reaction much more often where D&D gamers mock/denigrate non D&D games and players. It seems to be a combination of sunk cost fallacy syndrome and a defense mechanism to preserve the ego boost some gamers get...

I kid you not. In the Cypher System community content, there are two products were essentially the writer scooped out 5e and poured in Cypher. Every SRD spell, magic item, and other component has an equivalent to the point it would probably sound like you were playing D&D until the dice...

For me, I don't mind if someone wants to add a bit of D&D-ism to their home campaign. I roll my eyes, though, when someone suggests Dragonbane is "missing" something because it doesn't have a cleric or "needs" spell slots.

@Maggan No joke. The big Dragonbane fan discord give high praise for Troll Spire as a great into adventure.
