Trying to get to at least 250, been going at this for months and still far off... uhm, its hip hop borg or something?
Also will be getting off my butt for playtests of the next revision of Five Fires. Ive been paralyzed on how to revise this game for almost a decade so I am really excited to do that ahead of the launch.

Genuinely the royalties that I do receive are what help pay my bills, especially when freelance work is slow! It makes a huge difference
In Tabletop Roleplaying Games the idea of royalties is still relatively new; more of us at the publishing level need to be thinking about ways to undermine the existing paradigm and build to sustain our comrades and collaborators in the long term and give them the fruits of their own labor
My wife had a single line in Kung Fu Panda 17 years ago and still gets checks every few months. Most are way smaller than this, but devs get $0 even though the games we work on will likely be sold for 10+ years soooo yeah.

Hitting ALL the points on late 80's cartoons, this is a great game that's easy to learn and flows in its play.
