I'm looking for some extra work and would be very interested in any part-time or contract gigs that could make use of my writing, editing, and project management experience. Creative work, research and reporting, consulting; I am happy to do it all.

What happened with the suit?
I’m curious if any other TTRPGs have been published tête-bêche…
I think that's a great idea! I think there's a lot of bookshops with strong communities around them who would *love* RPGs but don't know them or haven't had the right way of encountering them.
There is so much. Like, look at how BIG he is. He could eat those notebooks as a lil snack. There's so much it's hard to parse it all.
Entirely fair, while I am curious to know I also sure as hell ain't finding out and don't expect anyone else to do so either.
Have the videos revealed what any of the nonsense terms are?
He has seemingly changed the thumbnail to something less unhinged, and given he's a well known scammer and all around dickhead I won't be watching the video, but would enjoy hearing from someone who does.
Ken Whitman, he also does acting as Whit Whitman I think. If you Google Ken Whitman scam it'll keep you good for a while.
So this dude is a fairly well known scammer/dickhead within RPGs and this is a (now changed) YouTube thumbnail for a video prompting his GMing ideas.
This is the funniest thing I have seen in some time.
Oh no, I googled this a bit more and I already found people talking about how it's underpowered because a specific Paladin build can beat it and how a different Cthulhu statblock from somewhere else is better. Time to go watch TV.
Wait, my wife is four foot ten.
How much damage do spears do in Tim's rubbish game?
I put my dagger on a stick and now it's a spear.
Gonna find your dried up corpses under a pile of handouts in 2087 when the Grogs reclaim Chicago from the Storygamers in the post-BackerKit Dice Wars. I'll be a commando sent from the past to being vital knowledge about how to defeat mecha-Siembieda
The thing is, once Cthulhu has a statblock you can kill it with a dagger, or a shotgun, or by pushing it down enough stairs. Stop it.

Yeah, I was surprised and I looked around the page and updates to see if it was special or different or anything, but no.
Yeah, I think if you look at the GM screen and work out how many it has sold the answer is not that many, like a few hundred. But a metal GM screen like that you must need to make quite a lot to hit and MOQ or any sensible kind of price.
Yeah, and there are parts here that I get and sort of sympathise with. It has got more expensive to get backers via ads in recent times, and the current sensible response does seem to be focusing on increasing pledge level rather than conversion rate or reach.
So if they haven't mentioned in the stretch goal graphic or the update and your suspicions prove correct, does that make it a good stretch goal they've communicated poorly?
I did previously note there was no map in any of the pledges so the posh token you could get didn't have a map to go on. They have unlocked that map now.
Feels like the first half million of stretch goals is stuff they were always going to make doesn't it?
Decided to go check in Traveller 5e now it's in stretch goal territory. Glad to see we have unlocked erm, character sheets.
Those are really going to enhance the experience of playing versus not having them.
What you'll see in Barnes and Noble is shaped by the same stuff. You still can't get our stuff in B&N for instance, because we're not carried by the right supply chain for them to order it. Whereas lots of games stores won't have access to Lancer via their usual suppliers.
That was where I bought all my RPGs for a good couple of years, and what they could get was really uneven because it kind of relied on that publisher working with the book trade, which most don't.
Was that Kinokuniya or Borders perchance? Their supply chain into Malaysia is a bit weird and it means Lancer (sold via comics and books distro) is easier to get for them than many other titles in games distro.
We saw this when we first exhibited at GAMA. Tons of retailers who couldn't believe they didn't know we existed, because up to that point our stuff had not really been presented to them in the places they look, and by extension, their customers too.
