  1. 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. […]

  5. We slice into "Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts," the first official expansion for the award-winning dark fantasy tabletop RPG from Evil Hat Productions and John Harper. ttrpgfans.com/blades-in-the-da #BladesInTheDark #forgedinthedark #evilhat #Doskvol #ttrpg #RPG

  7. @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.

  8. #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.

  9. Been running a #faterpg game on #roll20. I like the idea of using a deck of cards to track Fate Points. Unfortunately, the official fate token art from the #evilhat site has white text, and roll20 puts a big white number on top of it, making an unreadable mess. So I made a version with dark text.

  10. 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.

  11. More ESPionage NPC illustrations coming in! Here's Noah Twain, an antagonist from the adventure Sunny Days and Rain. Noah's the handyman of Paradise Round. It's a big job and he doesn’t have time to turn around to face you. #TTRPG #FateRPG

  13. Oscar Peon's a capable field agent, but his stunning good looks limited him to honeypot work. What was a liability in the CIA is an advantage when working with the psychic agents of The Strip. His good looks often drawing attention, from phenomena civilians aren't supposed to see.

  15. Growing up homeless and often alone, Codename Dewey's best friends were books, and still are. A prolific reader with incredible memory and imagination, Dewey can channel any character she's read about, from history or fiction.

  17. Codename Yugo is a Japanese Don Quixote, a retired engineer who's psychic ability manifested late in life. Believing he's a medieval samurai, with the ability to draw a telekinetic katana, every bit as sharp as the real thing.

  20. I know from experience that line illustrations on white backgrounds are invisible on social media, but this is all I've got today. More roughs of Rainbow Intelligence Service agents.

  22. Elliot Balson (www.artstation.com/ellbalson) is starting on the interior art. We're working through the pregen agents of Rainbow Intelligence Services first. Starting with Milly Benson, since she's already depicted on the cover:

  24. 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.

  29. I just backed Deathmatch Island by @evilhat

    It looks very fun: Battle Royale meets Lost with a sense of humour like Portal.

  33. 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.
