But as a TTRPG publisher, any time I have chosen to launch a product without that crowdfunding promotional surge, that product has underperformed considerably.
You're leaving tons of money on the table if you don't play the game (and gamble with as much borrowed money as possible).

You're alone in the black. Your ship is dying. Your crew is dead. How long can you survive?

Wild to me that Tartokovsky would rather bring a nonvocal hyperviolent caveman back to life than write a woman protagonist for season 3 of Primal

Today we cremated my father. In a few months, my brother and our aunt and I will be going to spread his ashes in his favorite national park.
I've been thinking a lot about what my dad means to me. I've been thinking a lot about the things he taught me and the ways I want to make him proud.
