    How to Delay or Avoid GM Burnout

    Just like with any romantic relationship or life partnership, resentment builds up because of communication issues or needs not being adressed. You're allowed to talk to your players outside the game on a meta-level. I am sure they understand that you are someone who wants to have fun as well...

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    Yeah MtG collectibility inflation is nuts. They might be printing money hand over fist selling to whales right now, but I don't see the market absorbing these cards long term once people check out when playing becomes secondary to collecting. I'd rather be in stocks or gold right now. Like...

    I know Miller's Law, I am positing that maybe GW1 maybe also had something to do with the retooling of DC from Cao, because GW1 only let you use 8 skills at a time also.

    Shadowdark Setting Looks Set To Be 2025's First Million Dollar TTRPG Crowdfunder

    I have a hard time imagining that a customs value of a A5 digest book can be any higher than 10$ per piece when it hits U.S. Shores. I think they're really only in deep trouble if we're getting to 300-400% territory

    I'm in the process of offloading my Revised Duals myself because the game is being printed into the ground and people thankfully started becoming very proxy friendly.

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    To me it seems like a direct mechanic and aesthetic borrowed from the FANTASTIC Guild Wars 1 by ArenaNet, without understanding why the 8 skill limitation worked so well in a game about flexible builds, skill inter- and counterplay and instanced format.

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I mean, Swords & Wizardry, Old School Essentials and OSRIC exist and none of the TSR games referenced are openly licensed or in the OGL

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    People really underestimate how many people just straight up use it as a gambling proxy and how prevalent it is nowadays. Even the most "wholesome" content creator in the MtG space has videos up where he opens boxes and sees if he can beat the secondary market. Its kinda troubling if you ask me.

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    MTG Arena hogged all my MTG time because it is so convenient and fast to set up high octane competitive gameplay and decks. But it is so convenient and fast that I burned out. Now I don't play Magic at all.

    Shadowdark Setting Looks Set To Be 2025's First Million Dollar TTRPG Crowdfunder

    31 hours left! Kinda crazy how Shadowdark's second Kickstarter launched just after a rather middling Zinequest and ends on the day the U.S.A. hits China with 101% tariffs with a likely recession looming on the horizon. Literally could not have picked a better spot to launch an expensive...

    Paizo New Releases and Subscriptions

    Pocket Edition Subscription goes hard! Does anybody know if the Pocket Edition makes more or less money for Paizo compared to the Hardcovers?

    Compare The Market's Tabletop Gaming Survey

    Yes, that is just my personal blindspot as I am 30 and feel old enough to be exactly out of touch with what 14-21 year olds are doing and feeling but strangely plugged into what the 4-8 age group is into at the moment.

    Compare The Market's Tabletop Gaming Survey

    I'd wager a guess and say that this is a very poor measure for anything related to TTRPG because the list of options is capped at 40 which isn't even close to Collectively Exhaustive when it comes to survey design. The way I see it, the only thing you can glean from this is that D&D is freaking...
