Evil Hat have quite a wide range of PWYW titles. I was also really surprised to see that they in the $000s of dollars. That is the power of brand recognition in action.

The game I referred to above is currently running at 130 downloads and has received $41.40 from 14 contributors. That makes the value per download currently $0.31/download. This is the game listing The Things That Grown Ups Cannot See - PPM | DriveThruRPG.com

I have had this happen once and the characters being completely stymied in which way to go resorted to employing outside spell casters to try and learn something about how to progress. I then used that to get hints and suggestions to the party.

I will happily do this. I have even written things that were fuzzy in their locations even in the planning. Things like "In the first room the characters may be able to find x", "In the second room they search they may be able to find y" and so on. Where the searching happens is secondary. If...

There is a joke along the lines of RPGs are where a 3 hour journey takes 30 seconds to play but a 30 second fight takes 3hrs to play. I find that no or little combat games fill the void left by the missing combat with far more interesting challenges for the characters. They give a chance to...

Thomas Pellow Captured by Pirates, sold as a slave, used as a slave soldier, rose to the top of the elite units before escaping and making his way home many years later.

I am desperately trying to gather as many playtesters as possible for a new game. The playtest documents cover all the core chapters of the rules and there is a quickstart version, sample adventure and pregen characters. The whole bundle can be downloaded from...
