The best compliment you can receive is, while browsing, you see something and go "oh neat, that's cool, what's this?" and it turns out it's something you made. Working on forming a parasocial relationship with myself here.

I'm gonna present my "year in cons" review after Dragonmeet (the last and usually best). I'm confused by the nebulous value of cons, so maybe you will be too!

NOT SAYING I'M A SAINT (that's for the diocesan tribunal to decide) but most of my energy is going into running intro games aimed at pushing curious people I meet in the bookshop across the line and into confident nerds.

If it costs an average of $20 to acquire a customer through marketing then there you have your explanation of why every crowdfunded book has a bucket load of doodads, gewgaws and other assorted landfiller

TROIKA business strategy! Exist for so long that we become the RPG equivalent of brown sauce: Everyone knows about it, most people never tried it, some people love it and shore up the whole industry, and every now and again a youtuber will discover it and make it popular for a hot minute

Y'know what I love about Iglootree.com ? The easy thing to do would be to stock and promote indie stuff from people with huge followings; have your cake and eat it, so to speak. Instead it's a huge pile of mad books made by people who loved something.
