I should say for clarity on this thread: I am so very down to do work trades. I used to do live event social media for MAGFest @ the mini event inside of PAX East, I've written & voiced internal training videos @ Rosetta Stone & a public facing government explainer vid at my last job, plus editing.

Organizing an itch.io Bundle I've organized five itch.io bundles. Four of them have already happened, and one of them is still live for a few more hours. Here are links to all of them1:

New Perspectives (rerun)

it's probably not a super good sign of my game design chopped but I do think it's very funny/cool that monster care squad, HELLPIERCERS, and 10MHPP planet all have threads on reddit titled "How are you supposed to actually play [game]???"

also i should have put it in the main post and i didnt but looooook at how gorgeous this cover is. ive been staring at it for like a year and im still in awe

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider: 1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib 2. or a 20% bundle of all my other games: itch.io/s/176257/jum...

i too have begun watching the straight man hockey podcasts discuss heated rivalry. this is the forum of athens to me

Hey gang, I'm putting together a TTRPG design workshop for people in my local RPG club. What are some free games and SRDs you love and think make for great inspiration for creating someone's first game? Bonus points if they're available in Spanish but no worries if not.

Two soldiers from the Domekan garrison take it upon themselves to harass a local talisman peddler on the streets of Karazad. But more caution is in order- one who walks these haunted streets bare-faced may hold powerful magics of their own…

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED YET. SEND ME ASKS. IDEAS. RATE YOUR FAVOURITE FLOWERS BY HOW SLUTTY YOU FEEL THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WERE HUMANOID. DISCUSS GOBLIN. leaftilde.straw.page

This is such an outstanding impulse that, imo, identifies a unique material concern of our scene. We tackled this in Monster Care Squad with the Ald-Amura grant; we set $3k aside and dolled out grants of up to $300, low questions asked, to incentivize community engagement Might be worth considering!

Okay, so we're working on this with Infinite Citadel - we're doing a couple different things to make sure people get paid. There is a lot I've been thinking about so, let's start this in a thread! 🧵 1/8

Royalties are powerful things! A frequent discussion ttRPG writer space is how we could make the jump to full time. More royalty-based models like this would make it way easier!

this year alone we sent out about $50k in royalties for triangle agency work ✌️if your games aren't making money for the people who made then why sell them at all

Genuinely the royalties that I do receive are what help pay my bills, especially when freelance work is slow! It makes a huge difference

You might consider, in ttrpgs we all earn so little that this kind of thing doesn't matter; you sending a friend $19.17 every 6 months isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but the goal is bigger than that, it's about setting standards. You do this, I do this, in 10 years? Everyone does this.

We're pretty much settled (barring future changes) on how we did this for How To GM Romance and this is what we came up with. The breakdown of artists is by shares based on image size/complexity and everyone else is an even split of each category a person contributed to. I wanna keep doing this.

We're always refining, but the SPG Royalty Process shakes out like this; We ask everyone to keep rough track of how many hours they spend on work, and how that time is spent across pieces of work. If someone struggles with this, we ask them to estimate it at the end of the project.
