Looking for Ironsworn: Starforged asset cards? Unfortunately, they are out of stock. As a stopgap while I try to source a new printer, and to ensure they are perpetually available in some format, I now also have the asset deck available via @drivethrurpg.com.

Congrats! Exciting and well-deserved.

The world lost a genial man, a genius communicator and a supreme artist. I lost a friend - beloved Drew.

I for one welcome our giant hummingbird overlord.

Haha. Yeah, those hummers know what's up.

Oh, darn. Anna's hummingbirds are here year-round.

Pacific Northwest is pretty amazing. 🏔️

A photograph of a red hummingbird feeder with a trio of hummingbirds -- two perched and one in flight. In the background, Mount Rainier is lit by the setting sun.

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.

Over War looks pretty cool! It's an RPG/strategy hybrid that has you playing the commander of a small warband. The Monarch edition adds GM-less/solo support.

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.

Yeah. 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. 😬

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.

Thanks 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.

Sounds 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!
