    The Horror! of Living Skeletons

    Seconded! I absolutely love skeletal warriors, archers, and spellcasters as monsters in a dungeon.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Scion: Demigod, Into the Fey, Laser Ponies, and more

    Thanks for the list, even if my wallet is now upset with you. One I am currently backing is The Wretched, a sci-fi solo that looks fun. (And plus, there's a soundtrack on vinyl option, so how could I resist?) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loottheroom/the-wretched-second-printing

    How To Promote Your RPG Kickstarter

    This is a lot of the reason why I personally prefer shorter campaigns. Not so much that the backers are challenging to deal with -- I've been mostly very lucky and have had positive, friendly supporters -- but because of the mental drain on managing the campaign. Running a Kickstarter project...

    How To Promote Your RPG Kickstarter

    This has been my first time working with BackerKit and I can safely say that they've been a positive for the campaign. After deciding to work with BackerKit this time around, I completely overhauled my project to make it primarily PDF and print codes rather than printing/shipping the new book on...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Legends of Avallen, Arium, 65 Enchanted Trinkets, and more

    One downside to short campaigns: Missing out on these great collections of crowdfunding projects! My latest project is missing out on the fun! :) I am keeping a close eye on 65 Enchanted Trinkets because I think it is a perfect model for most PDF publishing in today's environment.

    News Digest for the Week of September 4

    Actually, I think it is a cool way to introduce Magic players to the Realms. Should be fun to watch how things shake out once Magic players start seeing those classic characters, creatures, and places.

    Free A Dozen Sample Rumors

    I've been working on The Book of Collected Rumors, an upcoming Kickstarter campaign to collect some of my recent PDFs into a print form, and as a part of that project I have put together a sampler. A Dozen Sample Rumors is a free 15-page PDF that is available now at DrivethruRPG. The file...

    D&D 5E (2014) Quickstarter: 65 Enchanted Trinkets for D&D 5th Edition

    The campaign looks great! I'm personally interested in seeing how this performs for you. I suspect you will see more support/funding like this than if you were to just release the PDFs for sale.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Old-School Essentials, Mnemonic, GUN&SLINGER, and more

    I wasn't a fan of that sort of art 20+ years ago. I am shocked that even today we see this sort of artwork created for games. I use stock art for the majority of my personal projects and there are more times than I would like where I cannot use an illustration because of the cheesecakiness of it.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Old-School Essentials, Mnemonic, GUN&SLINGER, and more

    Goes back to the joke of launching an Indiegogo campaign to create the video for a Kickstarter campaign. Still, it's not my place to tell others how to run their crowdfunding campaigns or how to plan our their projects, and I wish them luck.

    The Triumph and Tragedy of "Free"

    I've run a few different experiments when it comes to artwork and RPG supplements, and attractive, color artwork always makes one of my projects perform better than any B&W art. I know it's not much of a data point, but it is my experience.

    D&D 5E (2014) Get 300+ Issues of EN5ider For A Dollar!

    This is a fantastic idea for a series. If I had the time to tackle Patreon, I'd totally do something similar.

    RPG Evolution: Making It in the RPG Industry

    Agreed 100%. There is no real shortcut to success. Even spending tens of thousands of dollars to raise awareness is worthless if you aren't making something that people enjoy. Practice. Practice. Practice.
