Oh hey! Isle of Hex made silver? Whaaaa?! Does this mean I get to put "award-winning author" in front of my name? Maybe change my name altogether? The year is full of possibilities already!

"Reject first ideas" is just good creative advice, in general
what's up gamers, I'm back with another blogpost about editing. this one's about development editing rather than line and copy editing, though, so the tips are all a little more vague and philosophical. hope you enjoy anyways: samsorensen.blot.im/ten-intangib...

Not to be contrarian about it, but I think that, if anything, the RPG market cares a little *too* much about books as physical objects. Nice books are nice, and I absolutely believe that they attract buyers, but I wouldn't say it's *hugely* important to me above a certain floor.

Off to bed, when I wake up it'll be a wrap on this. It's also my baby's first birthday, so that's two things to celebrate. His birthday wish? For everyone to back this. Don't make him sad on his birthday, don't break the chain

I can only fit about 1000 words of information in my head at one time!
Only 9 hours left on the Mausritter: Junk City crowdfunder.
I'm not in love with their chosen format of pamphlet adventures, I wish there was more meat/wordcount on those bones, but it's STILL a tempting box www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

I'm full aware this is absolutely unhelpful, but I think the best and surest way* to break into ttrpgs (or anything else) is simply by being too good at it to be ignored. Which sucks for me and 90% of people out there, I guess.
