I can totally see that it being digest-sized with a fixed amount of space to write in is a very good creative limitation and keeps text concise and short. The medium also communicates to the reader "hey this is so concise and short that the book is in A5 and stuff fits either in a single page or...

The way I meant running means to GM the game on the table. It being digest-sized is a stylistic choice that has its purpose (letting artwork breathe, easily cozy time readability and keeping it modular enough for A4 Landscape prints and handouts), but you cannot convince me that more page...

Honestly SD would be much easier to run if it was Legal/A4 sized, just because the pages are smaller doesn't mean the system has less words

This is just based on my personal vibes but I think most rounds of Shadowdark will be one of these 1) DM owns the core rule book, class handouts (every book/zine comes with PDFs that is conveniently A5 and can be doubled up in landscape mode to A4.) Players at most will only have quickstart...

400k USD within 95 minutes without r/rpg and r/osr shoutouts and no youtube coverage from the usual ttrpg sphere. The Arcane Library Discord is buzzing though. Community building is on helluva drug.

Backer 720, also went for the Core Set (New 2 books+zines) and not go for the fancier sets as Shipping to EU is backbreaking. Did add the new premium core rulebook though! I love how the core rulebook is just a complete game in one book.

If you think about it, Local Game Stores and Creator Patreon Discords share a similar purpose: Community-as-a-Service Forums are very good for tracking lengthy discussions between few individuals, but scale poorly to a certain point before threads devolve into chaos and many parallel...

People yearn for community. They're starving. We have 9001 ways to play D&D Medieval Fantasy Role-Playing Games but still haven't solved large scale "Interest Matchmaking" in the space, seemingly.

To be fair, since The Edition That Must Not Be Named, Magic the Gathering has grown a lot among the casual playerbase and the now premier format (100 card singleton elder dragon highlander/commander released in 2011 and has never stopped growing) regularly ends up with board states like this:

I mean these are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Goldeneye was not a Sandbox and I still played the Dam level every once in a while to replay it. I can see players replaying the same adventure and scenarios using different classes in this boardgame-like arrangement.

Can you believe they are updating the Core Rulebooks again? Like I love a good errata and layout reformatting but this stuff is getting ridiculous... Well at least the SRD is public...

Yes a 1% decrease is a real decline, but if it comes after a 100%+ growth spurt it is a simple Return to the Mean and not necessarily indicative of future performance. Also while growth rate is ideally above inflation and constantly high, that is highly industry dependent. Not every industry can...

Compare Consolidated Revenue of Hasbro in 2023 to 2024. WotC staying flat is saving Hasbro's butt

I mean we don't have to read tea leaves. Hasbro is a publicly traded company. A 1% decline is a nothingburger especially if you look at prior revenue. I can't believe it took this many pages for someone to look up what WotC made prior to 2023. (These are actually wotc numbers, whoever made this...
