This is 100% my philosophy too.

I'll always prefer to make weird stuff I love, for a small group of weirdos, over twisting me and my work into unnatural shapes for mass appeal.

You really don't need millions of followers to make a living as a creative, just like ~500-1000 folk who always show up.
these two posts have been my guiding star as far as audience size:

We frankly don't have the budget or the cultural/market penetration to "shout louder" than D&D. We need people who love gaming to *listen up*. Follow creators. Browse itch.io. Read reviews. Listen to a podcast.
This thread lists some terrific places to discover a ton of very cool indie TTRPGs.
🧵 : This is a thread of sites and people who cover indie tabletop games, with links and bluesky handles to follow!

Share it, add to it, use it, follow everyone on it, turn it into an article on your site!

Listen to me talk about Cthork Borg with the excellent RPG Reanimators!

Two solid hours of podcast, we get deep into the mechanical weeds, talk about Lovecraftian fiction before and after the namesake guy, and there's a lot of Mork Borg design theory that happens too.
