Busy feeder at sunset. The perched hummingbird spends its day chasing everyone else away, but it deigned to let others gather for a few minutes. So generous.

Deal of the Day on DTRPG.
Really sad to hear this. Rob was a great writer and an amazing booster for TTRPGs. In particular, he seemed really passionate about giving visibility to smaller games and creators. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Yep. My nightmare scenario is a garage full of unwanted books.
08.10.2025 21:15 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yeah. For sure. I did a reprint as part of a supplement crowdfund, and that worked out well. Also, a great way to gauge demand. But I don't want to go to that well for every print run.
A good problem to have, in some sense. But I am always a quarter behind the curve. π¬
My least favorite bit about self-publishing is figuring out the right time to do a new print run. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, so I can't over-invest in stock, but I inevitably get caught off guard by a sell-through and have long gaps where items are not available at all. I suck at it.
08.10.2025 20:46 β π 45 π 1 π¬ 2 π 1Thanks so much!
I think I might have an email from you as well? Was just responding.
Thanks for asking. I'm looking into a reprint, though the logistics of that take a while. I'd guess late December or January.
08.10.2025 20:03 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Sounds like the same path I went with my dice mechanic, and I did look at 2d10 with those success breakpoints. Agree that the extra bit of granularity is really nice, especially if you have a failsafe (using Shadow, in your case).
Congrats on the campaign!
