Bought it on DT. The cover just grabbed me. I'll read it on the weekend with a coffee :)

I have no idea if you do or don't. But as someone that had several discussions about the pricing of actual products... it's complicated. Having a low price doesn't necessarily equate more sales. For many, there's a equation of quality that comes with a higher price.

Well deserved!

I love Ratti! I'll poke them to request your product. @ratti.bsky.social

Will it be available in a canadian-friendly store? The currency exchange and shipping are absolutely brutal.

Love the tilesets. Did you make them yourself?

I love a good kobold.

As I'm slowly reading and preparing my first product, the part of the process that I don't look forward to is everything printing, shipping and warehouse related.

What are the four-digit codes before the links?

And, unless they willingly participate in it and that's their intention, I can't fault them for not feeling that it automatically makes them responsible for weeding out bad individuals that make or consume science-fiction movies.

It's a word, it's jargon. People play games, make games and buy games. They don't necessarily have this will to define a circle and intently think about who's in and who's out.

People that seek science-fiction movies are not inherently part of the science-fiction movie lovers community.

Because the word community is misleading. It suggests that all its actors are willingly and intently participating and nurturing it, knowing that it's a community and that they're part of it.

Most people's interaction with the OSR is using it as a label to identify a certain type of product.

I might expand this thought process, trying to see what other concepts are applicable.

I expect you know these exceptions in the behavior section. "Attacking works this way, but heavy weapons work this way." If I have to go to a data section, and read the entry of a heavy weapon to understand how it works, it's not great.

As an example, I'm reading an unnamed popular TTRPG right now and there's a section that explains how fighting, attacking and dealing damage works (behavior) And then we have a chapter with lists and entries of weapons (data). But there's several sidenotes and exceptions that are behavior, not data.

This brought me to think of layout and organization in TTRPG books. It's often hard to know what went wrong, we just got a feeling that we had to flip pages, or what we looked for was never where it was supposed to be.
