All Your Eggs in one Basket and Spreading the Seeds Around!
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past week, you will have seen this news item: Link to Paizo's News Blog where Paizo talk about the crud they've been going through for the past year or two because of their one and only print+distributor, Diamond Comics, going belly up and holding on to all of Paizo's stock.

Now I don't mind playing in Pathfinder, but I own less of their product than even D&D (and that's saying something!), but I wouldn't wish that situation on anyone, or any company. It's a nasty state-of-affairs, but what did they expect when all of their eggs were in one basket? It's incredibly tough for printer/publishing and warehousing/shipping companies out there, and it has been for the past 5 years or more. Really, they should have looked for alternative ways to do things other than stock-piling in one company's warehouses a long time since.

I wish Paizo and their employees (especially those who stop being employees because of this) all the best.

On another note, we all know that DTRPG is the behemoth of ttRPG distribution, and none of us love that fact. It does the job and it results in lots of sales, but it's not the best. Itch.io is somewhat of a substitute, but I've had zero sales from there on my non-fanzine products whereas I have had sales from DTRPG of them.

Anyway, there's a new player in town, a mix of the two sites. www.rpg-trader.com is Australian based and less than a week old. I've just signed up: https://rpg-trader.com/creator/731/white-hare-games Hey, if I get even just one sale It'll be doing better than itch.io! 😄 Come join me!



There's a new kid on the block, and they want to topple itch.io and DTRPG. RPG Trader is like those two combined, specifically for the ttRPG sector.

Every day there's a new Question of the Day. Most of them are game-related but once in a while we get one that'a more geek-related like favorite movies or books. The question changes every day and you can even suggest a QOTD. When you check out this week's Question of the Week, you can see a link to all the old questions and the chance to suggest a question of your own. Here's this week's QOTD:
QOTD JUN 5: At what age did you came in contact with TTRPG and when did you first start playing?

The following images summarize half my day:





The remaining bit of my day was spent writing Elder Sign/Mythic Monday story bits and session reports.

Additionally, I spent 20 minutes playing around with the cracked paint effect for the edges of the Mural Cards in Abydos. Still not quite happy with the look. Luckily, there's always tomorrow 😜.

Happy Wednesday and happy playing!
