Happy Holidaves! As a special treat, I'm giving away complimentary copies of the Monster Menu to the first 50 friendos who use this link over on the DMs Guild. Sate the curiosity of your party's resident aspiring chef, and add over 100 monster meals to your campaign setting! Cheers, and pass it...

Howdy folks! Until November 8th, all new folks on my mailing list will receive a free copy of my biggest DMs Guild supplement, Might vs. Magic! It's normally $3.95, but you can snag 14 new archetypes, plus dozens of new spells and magic items (including a deep-dive revamp of counterspell based...

The level of detail on this survey is bordering on something people should be paid for. It's practically a consultation.

Dark Sun and Eberron are the only canonized D&D settings with enough originality to really feel unique to me, so I hope they succeed! It's clear that Wizards is staying lean with new or reintroduced settings, so if this succeeds without legal problems maybe we'll get some dark horse settings...

Before the the Star Wars TTRPG IP headed over to Fantasy Flight in 2012, the most recent edition was not only hailed as a promising 3.75E D20 game, but was explicitly cited by Wizards as a heavy influence for 4E D&D. It had stuff like defenses rather than saves, and reduced skill complexity. I...

This is a great piece of info, and definitely moves contests up on my radar, so thank you! I could put together a small bundle and give it to a chunk of the list pretty easily on DMs Guild, though the value add would only be like $12 (unless I gave multiple copies). Hmm, how could I sweeten the...

I mute most Discord servers as soon as I join them, including everything but personal notifications. It's a chore, but if you do it as you go it's just a couple seconds. That KickStarter marketing thread by Morrus combined with what I've learned at Cons has given me a pretty decent idea of what...

I appreciate negative information when it's so politely and clearly put! At my current scale, I do send bespoke text + links messages, but at larger scale I can see why automation is so tempting, and eventually necessary. I already try to mention that my mailing list is un-spammy (no ICYMI...

I'm approaching 200 folks on my tabletop mailing list, and I'm looking for the next stage of growth strategy other than "suddenly go viral somehow". I know many of yall have either joined an indie publisher or done a Kickstarter, but what was the step before that? In particular, I'm curious...

Howdy folks! As an up-and-coming indie TTRPG dev, I'm always employing that sigma male dragon grindset gorilla brain mentality. So naturally, I have a mailing list. It's relatively spam-free, as I only send one email per new release or sale/event. No "in case you missed it" or weekly pings...

If you're really in love with playing the character, take the advice of the other posters above. If you aren't, the likelihood that your DM actually has a sacrifice-worthy threat on deck is fairly high, and with the commitment to deliver your character as said sacrifice, they will probably be...

It originated in Japanese video games and has spread to ubiquity over the last 15 years or so. A run of a level would get graded based on its points and time at the end, as in Sonic Adventure 2 or Armored Core 4. Tier lists as a general media concept now use it, in part in order to make room for...

I doubt anyone from their team is lurking, but hopefully this thread sent a few folks their way during the successful push!
