This reminds me of Aria (Worlds) from Last Unicorn Games, almost 30 years ago...

Boxed sets confirmed? ;-)

Hmm... That much hype and speculation, only to be disappointed by a collection of adventures that don't form a campaign... Talk about underwhelming... I would have preferred that this was about one of the old setting revamps we keep hearing about.

Respect!

Then you claim you don't understand the subject matter, if that is the case, maybe do not make claims like the above... Blockchain technology is not crypto or nft, they both use blockchain technology, but that doesn't make blockchain technology by definition environmentally damaging and of...

Being a freelancer is no different from being a regular employee imho as far as employ ability goes. Yes, you have more risks, but you also have more freedom in how you operate. It depends on the field you're in and the state of the market on how precarious your position is, but you always need...

I'm wondering, here in the Netherlands a company CEO can be held personally liable if he/she 'improperly' managed the company. That sounds great in theory, in practice that is often difficult to prove... Is there something similar in the US? Or is this only with criminal actions as CEO?

I have the old metal Ral Partha Tiamat and a couple of the old prepainted D&D minis (WotC). I also have the (still) unpainted Reaper huge not-Tiamat. I'm curious how this one will look, generally the painting on the Wizkids minis is not very good, but with such a huge canvas it might become...

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...
