Rose and Daly stressed that Horizons will be paying top dollar for its content with an eye toward creating sustainability for creators in the TTRPG space.

“That’s something that we knew [we wanted to do] from the beginning,” Rose said. “We are starting our own company from scratch, we’re very small, but I have been quite active and vocal in my time in the industry about compensating people. [...] People should be making more than minimum wage for the time they put in!”

Obviously Horizons’ D&D-compatible content is expected to be a big draw, but the magazine’s other material should also have wide appeal. The first issue will feature content for Pathfinder authored by award-winning game designer Rue Dickey, while material for Critical Role’s new Candela Obscura is also in the pipeline.

Most importantly, everything included in the publication will have been playtested multiple times.

“We go through two stages of playtesting, which really allows us to know that this content is going to be balanced, that it’s going to be easily useful at the table,” Rose said. “I am a big advocate for not leaving [game masters] hanging, [of] not having plot holes where they have to scramble to fill things in and answer questions that the content should be answering for them.”
