You must be playing a different version of D&D... Every time we 'bury the hatchet', the hatchet winds up burried in the back of someone else's skull... ;-)

I think a lot of us have filled in the skin color of the Dune characters based on the original movie (1984), and the computergames (which imho also took a lot of cue's from the movie). In the same way Nick Furry will always be Samual L. Jackson and 'God' will always be Morgan Freeman in my...

I also suspect it's because the KS route is cheaper, ~10% for KS and ~30% for DTRPG. KS also tickles that 'fear of missing out' with a lot of folks.

Ah... You mean it that way, it can be done under the right circumstances, skills, work, etc. I agree. But I'm arguing that most people lack the skills/circumstances/work to make it work. In the same line, you can win the lottery... ;-) I'm just not buying lottery tickets, because the chances...

The same could be said about deflection... ;-) Your publishing 'arm' isn't representative for publishers, it came with an audience. Just like certain Youtube channels that start an RPG publishing business, a different service/business that eventually starts RPG publishing.

Yes, but are you not an exception? How much is the success of your publishing company related to ENworld? How many of such community sites are there at that scale/noteriety? And how much time have you spend over the years on both and how much has that earned you that if you translate that to an...

Is it? I know that there are quite a few small companies that operate that way and make a 'profit', the question is: "What are they paying themselves and others?". We've had so many discussions about freelancers not earning much, the same is true for a lot of smaller companies, paying themselves...

It's not that this industry eats up creative people, every industry eats up people that start unsound businesses. This writer/publisher finally realized "because I'm bad at being a businessman", something more people should realize. How many start a business making cars because they love making...

No, they did it with just a few minis. Also keep in mind that a LOT of folks (established fans) knew this was comming for a long while and would have backed this hell or high water. Quite a few other people jumped on the wagon because you can play solo. But what I find strange is that these...

This is also so true! I own almost every 2nd, 3rd and 4th edition D&D book. Physical and bought most of the 2E stuff electronically as well (when they were $2-$3 a piece). And that is only about 30% of my collection. After 30+ years of collecting, my bookcases are overflowing, I now have to...

The answer is: "If you really are passionate about doing something, you better live with the consequences of your choices!". Then I'm saying: "Don't blame the customer." I'm working to live, I do not live to work. Making worlds, adventures and monsters is fun. As an IT freelancer I have the...

That's because even as an artist => creative person your not as creative when it comes to other things or willing to learn other things. That costs, in this case money. This is not only true for your industry, but true for just about every industry. Workers that work for minimum wage, while...

This issue/situation has come up regularly on the forums here at ENworld over the last 20 years. But I'm curious, you never peeked at the rates TSR was willing to pay for your freelance work for Dungeon/Dragon? Translating that to a hourly wage and then realizing that TSR was the big kid on the...

Frosthaven just beat Kindom of Death: Monster's record with almost raising $13 million for a boardgame... But as I noted a month and a half back in the "Onyx Path cancels LegendLore Kickstarter", it just totally depends who you are, what your peddling and who your peddling it to... Frosthaven...

Revisionism much? Dragon Strike was a TSR game, at the time TSR wasn't a Hasbro Company. Neither was WotC at that time. DS was known for the video it included, not the game(play). Compared to HQ the components were pretty bad.

Have you actually checked that? I'm seeing €6,55 (ex. VAT) in buildup areas for pickup with a two hour window when they can pick it up. That's not per package, that's for a whole mailbag (those aren't small). If your small, you can do pickup once a week, if you so small you can't fill up a...

Doesn't your postalservice offer pickup contracts for businesses? Going to the postaloffice to ship (many) packages is a bad idea. How do webstores do this, I doubt they go to the post office for a bunch of packages...

Lightning Source is part of Ingram Content Group, this is not a small company...

Isn't this an opportunity for one-(wo)man shops to make some money? The post here is still running, the postal pickup service for businesses is still running. A small POD shop could do printing on it's own (as long as there are supplies) and ship to one-(wo)man stores directly, who can supply...

People claiming ANY number need to be taken, not with a grain of alt, but with a whole truck of salt! Claiming 'easily' 18+ months is a bunch of panic mongering! Sure, this has to be taken seriously, this can be very bad. But let's not repeat everything you hear crackpots say. @Paragon Lost If...
