  3. 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. […]

  13. @gloriouscow --

    That's actually hilarious. Especially since I had recently mentioned #SteveJacksonGames

    Steve Jackson sexually harassed my friend who was his personal assistant, and he wore a fedora.

    This is who popped up in my head when I read your comment.

  17. Talking about #TTRPG 's today I'm reminded of a recent issues I've had with #SteveJacksonGames particularly #GURPS. I've been purchasing phyiscal books for the system since the 90's I have quite the collection of 3e and 4e books and grabbed their #DungeonFantasy set as well. I also picked up their Character creation software as GURPS characters can quickly get very complicated especially with all the calculations needed and how changing one thing can effect everything else.

  18. I read somewhere that #Discworld was getting a new #RPG - so naturally when I googled it I found that Steve Jackson Games made a version years ago. So I picked up a copy..... and I'll probably pick up a copy of the new game as well!

  20. After geeking out over 48 year old cybertank designs with @nyrath , I poked around and found an old interview where he talks about how he stumbled into illustrating the iconic Ogre tanks.

  22. An oldie, but didn't have it on my computer(s) yet.

    Played the #tabletop #boardgames back when it was new, and the #Apple2 version when it came out.

    Since I'm a bit of a #patientgamer I think the wait paid off. #Steam has it for 90% off and it works on my current #apple #MacbookPro as well as my #windows desktop

    How could I refuse? Would have been neat if it was DRM free on GOG...

  24. #ttrpg #GURPs #stevejacksongames

    52) In 1988 there was only one new games system that I bought, and it was entering its 3rd edition by this point. GURPS by Steve Jackson - the generic role-playing system. A good system but clearly borrowed elements from lots of other systems.

    44) Although released in 1985, I think it was 1986 that I first bought "Car Wars" (although it might have been 1985). Although touted as an RPG, it was more about building armed and armoured cars, and racing them like Mad Max.

  28. I'd love to play a #TTRPG system that combined the roll-under percentile dice mechanics of #BasicRoleplaying with the rich sourcebooks and #InfiniteWorlds backdrop of #GURPS. For solo #RPG adventures, I'd use #MatrixGames as an oracle:

    ludism.org/mgwiki/

    I mean, this is kind of what I do anyway, but I'd like it to be integrated. Maybe with #ORC! Do you think #SteveJacksonGames can be talked into liberating GURPS?

  30. Game Review: Steve Jackson Games’ ‘Car Wars’

    I got to play Car Wars at Nerdi Gras a couple of weeks back. Needless to say, I got my tail whipped, and have a lot more to learn.

  31. @armoredkitten While I find it too simple for my tastes, there is also the newly-revived and supported #TheFantasyTrip from #SteveJacksonGames. It's a distant ancestor of #GURPS, but far simpler. #TTRPG
