Five Tiers of RPG Publishing
Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year. That’s over 2 billion dollars in revenue; roughly $1.7 billion is attributable to Magic: The Gathering and the rest is attributable to Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons and Dragons is obviously the largest, most popular roleplaying game, but $400 million in revenue is staggering. If this was all books, it would be eight million copies. It’s not all books of course; one of the reasons D&D is growing (though perhaps not as fast as Magic is) is the continued expansion of digital services like D&D Beyond, products with high margins and minimal variable costs. This is the future, not because it makes for a better gaming experience, but because it makes for a better balance sheet.

@evilhat cancelling Tomb Raider RPG and deciding to repurpose the mechanics in a non-licensed setting sounds like the best possible outcome, honestly. I was curious before but I am especially excited now.

#BundleOfHolding has a quick deal (only 7 days) up for #ApocalypseKeys from #EvilHat, a #PbtA game that is inspired by monsters fighting monsters (Hellboy, Doom Patrol).
This is yet another Kickstarter I backed and haven't had time to chew on, but I loved the idea of and $10 is a sweet deal for anyone curious.

Picked up the FATE Accessibility Toolkit book.
I’m not personally looking to play disabled characters in FATE, but I am interested in accessibility in gaming and this was an illuminating read in that context.
There is a lot of overlap in making your RPG sessions accessible and designing other games to be accessible, and this book had a lot of interesting content in that vein.
Nice job Evil Hat.

I got my physical copy of Deathmatch Island from @evilhat and it is gorgeous. Both design and layout are exceptional.
Also, as someone who once worked in PR, the blandly sinister (Portal-esque) corporate speech is just perfect.
Can't wait to run this with my friends.

Evil Hat and Crystal Dynamics announced a new Tomb Raider tabletop RPG called Shadows of Truth.

I just backed Deathmatch Island by @evilhat
It looks very fun: Battle Royale meets Lost with a sense of humour like Portal.

Holy crap the trailer for Deathmatch Island from @evilhat is incredible.

Gosh I love playing #ThirstySwordLesbians. Bringing a new player into the game and they're already so excited to play and diving right in! And she's got 2 of my best players as partners to bring her in properly. This is gonna be such a fun session!

I just finished reading Girl By Moonlight, and it is a credit to Forged in the Dark games that whenever I read one, I really want to run it.

Hey, nice to see you. 😀
Search here isn't what it could be. You need # and other clever things like autoboosting groups.You

To celebrate the new Monster of the Week crowdfunding campaign, I updated this post with a recent experience: https://troypress.com/monster-of-the-weeks-mystery-countdowns/ #MotW #pbta #EvilHat

Evil Hat is super consistent about this and I love them for it. It shows such care for making material meant to be referenced!

Okay, I read #DeathmatchIsland
It’s going to result in some amazing stories. It takes the #Paragon system into a realm/mythology that we are steeped in, so much moreso than (actual) Greek mythology. Well done.
I was surprised by there being just three islands and the game repeating through those in future campaigns, and I’m not sold on the idea, but the game looks like a blast to play.
I can’t wait to share it with one of my tables.

#EvilHat launching the playtest for Deathmatch Island, "a fast-paced game about a deadly gameshow on a mysterious island chain. The competitors don’t know how they got here. They have been selected and recruited, forced to risk their lives in a deadly series of games for the vague promise of a big reward for the sole survivor."

Always down for more #Agon game engine - it runs hot.

Welp, had another one of those things happen where I wanted to send over a little bit of lore for someone entering my campaign of Don't Rest Your Head, started composing a message, then looked up and realized it was way past my bed time, I had enough material for multiple pages and I'd been writing for two hours straight. Mayhap I overdid it a little. 😬🤷

Just gonna write about #ttrpg stuff. like character creation.
I really like the #FateCore #EvilHat character creation concept because they tie a whole lot of a character's history together in a way that helps me visualize how the character would act, but I often struggle with a goal for a new character at the start of creation. Fate system helps me organize a backstory that creates goals,
