I had a great time at TO Play! I ran into a couple #TTRPGs that got me thinking about negotiations.

One is a full simulation, the other an RPG where each player has a hidden agenda and win con. It feels like this is a space I could use for my serious games.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

And interprete and present them in a way that would be accessible to players new to #TTRPGs.

(Yes, I’m going to bang on about D&D5.5. I can’t help but think that the character generation isn’t optimised for players to make their own from the book*. I think Hasbro WANT people using the App.)

I'm happier, better paid, and more content in #TTRPGs than I ever was in #VideoGames, and for any who know about both industries, that should be a deeply disturbing statement, particularly to those in video games, but I assure you, it's very, very, true.

RULE 7 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): Don't fight the market's chosen form-factor. The #RPG book is essentially unchanged since the #ADnD Dungeon Master's Guide: the big horkin' book. Every dramatic change you make to that form-factor, you reduce your range of possible customers.

RULE 6 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): Glut doesn't matter. When you do it right, there is no maze of publisher>distributor>store with huge lead dates to go through. Find your audience DIRECTLY, sell to them. Get them fascinated, then sell to the rest of the stock to the system.

RULE 5 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): If the person buys the physical, give them the #PDF. #PDFs of the book should be about half the cost of the book if sold separately (this is not a hard and fast rule). More people with access = more interest and more players.

RULE 4 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): Go direct to fans through #Kickstarter and services like #Patreon (though I recommend anyone BUT Patreon), what-have-you, and get a vibrant back and forth going. Don't fight what they want or don't want, their support will tell you where you should go.

RULE 3 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): Don't chase numbers like conventional book publishing. Even the biggest TTRPG is tiny compared to a "real" book, and the number of possible customers is limited. IGNORE NORMAL PUBLISHING BUSINESS RULES. Pre-orders almost always worked to get our stuff off the ground.

We tried to get ahead by printing in bulk, and by getting our books into wider distribution. Notably, for #TTRPGs, this is of little help. Even if we got a copy in Borders Books or Barnes and Noble, we were paid a fraction of the cover value MONTHS later, if ever.

RULE 2 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): Engage with your GMs, players, and public. Put yourself out there, but don't be afraid to say what you mean. Don't change your tune to make sure the "customer is always right"—this will only attract the strangely demanding customers with awful opinions.

RULE 1 OF #TTRPGs (for me YMMV): When you can, sell direct. This has many benefits (not the least of which is actually getting paid). You make a direct connection with the customer too. Which is huge. Trusted distributors and stores are good too (and discounts!), but the customer comes first.

Former situation. 15 years in #videogames from Jr. Designer to VP for Warner Bros. Worked on many games. Learned a lot, never was let go, earned comparatively little for how much work went in at all levels. Now I make #TTRPGs full time since 2016.

Today, I feel like this about the experience.
