I wouldn't trust figures like that. I seriously doubt they took any pains to do a truly statistically relevant survey of D&D players in general. Chances are this came from some survey on their website or something like that, which is hardly a representative sample, particularly with a game...

A number of people have started businesses like that in the past, with varying degrees of success. In the U.S., at least, selling food comes with a set of business requirements (and licenses), and selling alcohol comes with more. Food and alcohol are what are most likely to bring in the money...

I use slow milestone leveling, with each level taking a little more effort than the last. On average, I would guess that a year's worth of once a week play usually puts the characters at level 7 or 8, but that can vary. Since I do sandbox campaigns with no inherent balance, there are no preset...

A friend of mine did a zine that covers real-world folk magic from the Americas. He uses it in low-magic games set in a version of the real world, but you might find it interesting. Other Magic https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/277801/Other-Magic

Did you make molds you use to cast them?

No store within an hours drive of me has participated in Free RPG Day in many years, unfortunately.

One way to decrease the smell is to take a plastic container with a lid, put a layer of kitty litter in the bottom, open the book and put it in, and then put the lid on (something airtight is best). Leave it that way for a couple of weeks, periodically opening it up and flipping some of the...

My bet is that they all have active campaigns going on somewhere in the world.

More classes, subclasses, and half-species (half-dwarves, for example). I'm not really in buying anything else for 5e.

I do, if some of the players are relatively new to rpgs. I talk about the difference between streaming "live play" and playing D&D in the real world. I tend to use Critical Role as an example, since it is the most popular one of its type. I make sure they understand that the players are...

I have done rpg projects through Kickstarter before. In fact, I'm getting ready to deliver on a ZineQuest project later this month. I have other products that I was planning on Kickstartering this summer, but I'm hesitant to do so now. A lot of people - including me - just aren't backing...

I manage expectations before I let someone join the campaign, and again during an all-group Session Zero. I specifically address this issue. That has always worked well for me.

I played almost every edition of D&D from the Holmes Boxed Set to the 5e. The only one I skipped entirely was 4e. When it came out I sat down and read someone else's copy and promptly gave it back. I could tell that it wasn't something I ever wanted to play, and I haven't. I have watched...

There are some systems that I dislike and don't want to play or GM, but I don't have an all-abiding hate for them. They just aren't ones I enjoy. Those include anything PbtA, FATE, 2d20, GMless systems in general, and most games that fall under the general "storygames" category.

Also... "Amazing" appears to just mean "I like it" these days.

Zine Quest 2 is coming up in February. I would be interested in hearing about which things you supported last year that ended up being your favorites. My favorites were "A Pound of Flesh" (for Mothership) and "Other Magic."

It isn't unusual for DMs/GMs to be the primary purchasers of rpg books. Players will commonly buy dice, dice bags, and minis, but a lot of them don't go much beyond that. That has been the case for a really long time, if not right from the beginning.

I'm sorry, I have forgotten now :(
