Every time I hear someone complain about how WotC and the designers don't care about older players, I point to Jeremey and Chris (both players since the AD&D days). Now I guess I only have Jeremy...

Minor quibble with one thing he said. He said if he goes through a retailer, he gets 40% of the profit, but if he sells direct, he gets 100% of profit. Granted, it's been a while, but when I worked with distributers like Alliance and Impressions, it wasn't based on profit, the cut was based on...

Related, it's not just tariffs that are hurting our industry. I just got back from the post office where I dropped off a bunch of packages going out. Even with media mail, it was $9.65 per package. Not long ago it was $6.50.

I mentioned it upthread, but Wizard Tower Games has their own POD equipment. However, that doesn't mean their costs don't go up. Paper, ink, etc. are all impacted by tariffs.

I'm going to be transparent, and admit my biases on this topic. While I'm an Indie Publisher and amateur artist, I'm lucky enough to have a full time job that allows me to do my projects and not make a profit. But over the 20+ years I've been doing this, I've built relationships with dozens and...

Why not also include WA, OR, and CA? Visually, it would look like a Canadian hug ;)

I get it. It puts more effort in the customer side, which I really wish didn't have to happen. Believe me, I thought about this a long time before going this direction. But at the time, I had no idea what kind and amount of tariffs were coming.

I get where you're coming from, but it makes me sad, because I think the vast majority of US publishers and game creators hate everything about these tariffs. It's no fun getting punished because your country is doing something stupid. But again, I get it. No judgment here.

The page errors out for me.

I know Wizard Tower Games does their own printing and manufacturing. But I think they are the definitely the exception. For the topic, when I just launched HORDE, I decided to do rewards a bit differently and let DTRPG do distribution and built the reward tiers so that backers would get links...

So that's a 'no', you won't go look up why it's illegal or how it costs/damages the true IP holder? OK, weird position to take when arguing a position, but I suppose I can't make you. I'm not talking about morality, I'm talking about damages and costs to an IP holder which you claimed either...

No, it's not ridiculous. Like I said, no point in us arguing because these definitions, damages, and liabilities in the context of IP violation has been settled already in numerous court proceedings. However, I'd like you to consider that IP violation and theft isn't limited to downloading a...

It does both actually. It's fraud because you're presenting yourself as the creator/owner when you're not, and it's depriving the actual creator/owner of money and compensation There's no need for us to argue about this. It's been argued by lawyers in court over and over, and it's pretty well...

No, not an April Fools' joke ;) Today is launch day for HORDE! Click here to get your copy! New classes, monsters, spells, treasures, rituals, lore, and more to make your orc and goblin clans the worthy adversaries they are. What's better, is that there are versions for 2024 5e, OSE, and...

I don't care what the pedantic arguments might be made are, or the longstanding historical precedence of exploitation, it doesn't sit right with me to use someone else's labor without their permission to make yourself wealthy while they stay poor. Just as an overall big picture stance. And...
