This kinda disappoints me, because it’s not likely to happen again this way. Today if some kid wants to break into the industry, they’ve gotta throw their stuff into the ocean of content on DMsGuild or DriveThruRPG and then self-promote on social media and hope it gets traction somewhere (not to...

RIP. Did he used to post on ENWorld, or am I thinking of someone else? I know there have been a few of the old TSR authors active here over the years.

I looked at the campaign and all the artwork looks similar. I don’t even dislike it, it’s quite suitable D&D art (in the modern, light-hearted style) but yes, definitely not “grim”.

Yes. So tragic, so grim. He’s carrying a scythe, you see. And he wishes it were raining. And his girlfriend just dumped him. It’s all quite grim.

Must’ve been something like that, you’re right they all came out of nowhere. I think it might slightly predated the pandemic though, I remember looking at such dice around Xmas 2019. No doubt that the pandemic-era “I need a side-hustle” culture just turbocharged it, the same way that D&D got...

Cheers, friend. But don’t throw them away! Donate them to some player who might use them, it’s better than the waste.

I can understand that too, it is fun to get new dice. With veteran players, I suspect that many of us have acquired enough dice over the years that “new dice” just doesnt have quite the same appeal anymore. Man, remember when you there were, like, two companies for polyhedral dice?? Now it seems...

I will say those “dragon scale” dice are neat, something I hadn’t seen before. I don’t care about the texture, but the slashes bleeding over the edges (rather than pips) is a pretty cool look. I’d have to train my brain to read those dice on sight though—most of us have a lifetime of practice...

Some of these dice look very cool, but I’m also starting to think I’m the only one who prefers ultra-readable dice: big numbers, high contrast, no embellishments

Seems plausible. I recall reading some fascinating stats (I think posted by you) about how the general pledge patterns in crowdfunding tend to be U-shaped and front-loaded. A creator would probably have a solid guess by half way whether their campaign has the momentum to hit their goal...

Just chiming in to say that I continue to be appalled by this situation. But I appreciate the updates, @Staffan

I don’t see this one on your list but I got an email about it from Goodman Games: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/colossal-70-dungeons-rpg-collection I paid $25 CAD. I got 4 holiday modules for DCC RPG, and the entire 3.5 Dungeon Crawl Classics lineup, a few of which are huge products that...

Are there even steps between AAA and Indie studios?? /s
