D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

[mamba]

I mean what is the worst that could happen? A setting to be a HOTDOG had 2K+ backers, and was funded with 120K British Pounds.

now there is a class (or maybe race?) I see DM’s not allowing

Exactly, and yet here we are, with it funded and everything.

What constitutes an expert verb-er, in these cases?

1. Ask yourself why that is.
2. Solve for it.
3. Go be the next Million Dollar Kickstarter.
.

Don't got the time, money, and connections to do so without risking my livelihood on a first time RPG venture.

That especially is the reason why. You have to be pretty big already to market the less sexy martial options

Excuse me. It's "expert weaponman".

If the demand is there, I find this a difficult position to accept. Are you saying that the demand (and potential profit) just doesnt exist, despite the unending threads here?

I'm not sure what I would take away as the lesson if that was the case...

You don't like the way D&D works.

I generally agree, but I feel like making my general pedantic Grognard comment that D&D isn’t just 5e and 2024. (Of course, balance arguments happen about any edition.)

Excuse me. It's "expert weaponman".

Out of curiosity, why do you think a dedicated subclass per weapon is the right way to go, as opposed to a "weapon master" subclass that has talents that can be applied to any weapon? What can an expert axer do that it significantly different than a expert swordsman?

Im saying supplying that demand isn't easy.

I work in sales. Just because someone wants something doesn't mean supplying it is simple or easy. And people tend to take the easy route. This is why many 3PP have tons and tons of spell content but few non magical maneuver content.

there are plenty of KS that stay small, the big ones come with a built in audience, because you have a large YT following, because of whatever you did before, etc.
It’s not enough to start a KS and not tell anyone about it, hoping they find it

Plenty stay at 10k or less, deduct production cost, shipping cost, expenses for art, and there is not much left
