I don't think I did say that. He does do well though, here's his original statement: https://plus.google.com/112262093672917983853/posts/4B6j9CaezK7 " Not that I want to brag or anything, but looking at how LotFP authors' royalties break down on a per-word rate... My 21st best selling book...

I'll say again what I said on twitter: I don't care how much experience you have--if you can write a good page of RPG stuff and you've been suffering at these rates i will pay you 10 cents a word right now. Nobody deserves to be treated this way just for the chance to work on the Atomic Robo...

I accept that but when people point out to the companies involved that these rates are sub-poverty line and predatory, they often go "That's the industry standard, you must not know much about the industry". And the fact is we need to make sure there is no rhetorical room for that position...

As I said on Twitter when this was circulated: I do not think there is any reason for anyone to accept rates this low. As the author notes, you can make way more self-publishing, what they don't say is that you can also make way more with a profit-split deal or by just working with a more...

Probably someone already said this but I don't allow bards because they are bards

GMing purely by radio was way more fun than I expected

Well people were very nice to us the first time we rolled up at Gen Con, so just paying it forward Thanks, Daniel--it was a great night up on stage for everybody this year and the best Ennies yet as far as I can see

I've seen lots of people who like post-Forge games talk up Blades and Red Markets--though often while saying they regret they can't find anyone to play with, while I've seen way more discussion of people actually using Zweihander. Many indie games are disproportionately discussed online because...

OSR annihilated this year! And Harlem Unbound, which was awesome! As for sales: Yes sir there is absolutely a sales bump. Jacob Hurst reported orders doubling now that Hot Springs Island won best adventure, and over at LotFP it's insane. And, of course, if you voted for us--thank you!

daniel you made a video! also: vote Frostbitten & Mutilated for things its up for a lot of things

The WOTC team often comes though--they just hang out and run games rather than having an official presence.

That's too bad--it's always fun to see when an indie product gets enough groundswell to beat them.

Glad to see so many genuinely impressive nominees this year Competition has gotten tough! I have a feeling I'm going to lose six times--but to people who genuinely deserve to win

No it adds pressure for them to actually score--or appear to. Merely looking but failing is considered a bad look. Which is also an extension of a general cultural value: clearly trying to get something and failing makes you look like a loser. Anyway: While societal change is great, the...

Sean Patrick Fannon has objectively, provably and repeatedly harassed people online so it's not a surprise he did it irl too. He's openly said he gets emotional and does things he knows he shouldn't.
