Looking at these discussions of what RPG corporations need to make to even consider they are profiting, makes me damn glad I'm a very small concern, and a sole proprietor. Like most 3PP, I'm a one-person show, who operates out of my own home, and though I also publish for 2 other authors besides...

Why I should work with WotC? Because I never close my options, though I make sure I'm also diversified and not totally dependent on the 800# gorilla. I'm near completion with a Spelljammer 3PP supplement that I intend to publish under the Community Content Agreement at the DM's Guild. I also...

Of course I also create illustration views (often 1/2 view or less), but I don't make illustrations of every scene, I map...

Dragon flight is definitely based only on magic and not in any way aerodynamics or real world physics in any way. Now just because some artists depict dragons with overly tiny wings perhaps (not in my experience, but then I don't study dragon art that deepy, at least not other people's art)...

I can see the consideration that OGL doesn't have a non-abbreviation meaning, so is "neutral' to any given genre. Whereas ORC has a definitive genre definition, making it less 'neutral'. Personally, for example, I've been veering away from pure fantasy in both the games I play and the games I...

Not last month, but last year in December, I released The Planet Builder, as 3PP Starfinder supplement, but while its designed for use in Starfinder, it isn't even OGL. With the help of an astrophysicist, this supplement is a series of tables used to generate scientifically viable, entire star...

Double post, delete, please.

I understand and appreciate this being a tool for non-artists, I just do topdowns, as mine will be used as illustrations in a print or PDF, while they could be used in VTT, only as a static topdown map.

Well I create some 3D maps myself, though I don't use Foundry, nor any VTT apps. Though as a publisher, I'm still creating topdown maps even for 3D. I have no desire to create "isometric" view style maps (as depicted in your image/video above). Many of my recent maps are 3D/vector hybrids as...

As I've stated on other threads, and now talking officially as Gamer Printshop, my soon to be released Arcane Armada supplement: a series of custom Spelljammer ships, full deck plans, new monsters and monster races, and a custom Wild Space System (Phoenix Nebula System), will be published under...

I played D&D from 1977 with 1e, up until 1990 with 2e, then our regular Dungeon Master was killed in an auto accident, and the group opted not to play at all for about 10 years. In the mean time 3.0 began, but we didn't start playing D&D again until well into 3.5, so we missed 3.0 altogether. Of...

And if you play PF1, then you might check out my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG). Would I ever update that to 2e, maybe, but my plate if full right now.

Being at work for me is me running my game publishing company at home, so logged fantasy prompts isn't an issue. I've dabbled with Chat GPT, doing things like generating vehicle stat blocks, which it included Special Abilities, that I hadn't anticipated, and some had some really interesting...

Well as I stated on other threads, my next product, Arcane Armada, is a Spelljammer supplement I am releasing which will be published under One D&D license at the DM's Guild, so that one doesn't require OGL, since One D&D is a license unto itself. Many of my products were previously OGL 1.0a...

If I'd won $1.5 billion, I wouldn't buy D&D, I'd start my own game, hire all the big guns, try to make a product that at least breaks even, and proliferate it with as many books, and online support possible. Someday it could be profitable, but that wouldn't be my initial goal, rather get out...

While I use PDFs and online SRDs for game prep as the DM. For 20 years now, we've banned cell phones, laptops or any electronic device (aside from a calculator) from the game table. Everybody drops their phones onto a shelf in the room outside the gaming room. One player operates a small...

My one time experience contracting for Brady Games Publishing at Activision Video Game Studio, Santa Monica, CA. There were about 400 QA testers working on CoD:AW, all fresh out of college. But from my understanding, once the QA session was over, they were all fired (as standard operational...
