I would like to formally state my opinion here upon the internet. WOTC invested a ton of money into D&D Beyond and continues to do so. I think its reasonable to assume D&D Beyond is a big focus for them. Publishing exclusive stuff on DDB would be part of that strategy. It's the same with them...

I put a lot of stuff there. Because I have some stuff on my Pi that is only on the Pi, that stuff gets pushed to Glacier since its not on my mac and thus not backed up with Time Machine. But my vital "Documents" directory (which has things like the in-design files for all of my books) gets...

Since we're talking backups. I have a pretty crazy backup system. My most important files and folders are in my Mac's "Documents" folder. This is also on iCloud. Every week I use rsync to back this up to my Raspberry Pi in my home which likewise has a daily Rsync to mirror its two drives. Sort...

I wrote an article about organizing PDFs. I have thousands and find this process works for me: https://slyflourish.com/organizing_digital_rpg_materials.html

I think the Stranger Things starter set is a great idea and is exactly the sort of product I want to see coming out of Hasbro. As others stated, this isn't a product for us. We're already in the hobby. This is a product to bring new people into the hobby. Hasbro is in a unique position to put a...

Good thing we have the whole rest of the RPG industry for new ideas, new worlds, and new story adventures! We need not depend on WOTC for our happiness with RPGs.

I think WOTC themselves said they saw a surge in popularity in D&D due to Stranger Things. Their focus on this product is a good indicator of that belief. Google Trends shows about a 10 to 15% bump in the search for Dungeons & Dragons (as a brand, so this includes multiple query types). D&D...

This is awesome! Here’s a link to the CC released version. Save it in your permanent archive! https://koboldpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Black-Flag-Roleplaying-v04_2025_07_01.pdf

That's correct. Ones that clearly came from Kickstarter itself, not an outside link.

Your own circumstances are almost certainly different than mine. When I look at the cost of making a book around like 160 pages with full color art, professional editing and layout, and all the other things to just produce the book itself and then pay for the offset print run and all its...

Really great insights and I agree with a lot of it. For me, the big shift in the complexity of our projects was switching from print on demand to offset printing. POD prices went up, quality went down, and the amount of books we were shipping was high enough to switch to offset printing but it...

Shadowdark but clearly I need to take a look at SWADE.

Aren’t those the same thing?

I had a friend named Bryan. He was autistic and not in great shape and went too early. When we met him, it took our group some time to really figure out how best to play with him. He had a couple of quirks we figured out. While he was laser-focused on loot, he wasn't greedy. It could seem greedy...

I've run Bone Tomahawk adventures like ten times now and love them. So has Rob Schwalb for Shadow of the Demon Lord and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. It's clearly a favorite of his. Brutal movie but a fantastic horror western.

I came here just to say this. I wrote a whole article about it: https://slyflourish.com/seven_samurai_dnd.html

These are fantastic observations! Can you talk a little more about the 600 games? Over what period of time? I'm assuming like six to ten years? Is this all 5e or other OP systems? In store or at conventions? How many unique players? How many regulars and how many new? I'd love to hear more of...

Have you shown her Shadowdark? That might fit the style she's aiming for more than A5e which is pretty super-heroic fantasy. Someone else might have already suggested this... sorry. My general feeling is that its ok to describe how you feel about things if you're not having fun but in a...

I don't see anything in the write-up to assume they'll be farming out actual D&D books. It sounds like the attention is on movies, TV shows, and games.
