An incredibly enlightening thread on the RPG publishing industry, and measures of success. 13,700 copies would blow my mind, but the risks companies take are very different.

I deeply agree that I want more people from the RPG world working with mainstream publishers.
I don't want to frame it as something people can just decide to to.
Working with a large corporation is always a situation where the artist has very little control over what happens.
consistent and externally challenging. That freedom, within the constraints of two worlds, makes for memorable play, and wonderful reversals of fortune from everyone at the table.
and challenges that each world offers.
For GMs, having two worlds to offer may seem overwhelming but instead this offers a way to adjust the story to match the tone the players bring and make changes on the fly, freeing you to tell a tale with your friends that is both internally 2/3
Duality is a game that will challenge both the Players and the Storyteller to think and play differently, as they can navigate between two conjoined worlds. This leads to new ways to tell stories at the table, as players can lean into their strengths, adapting to the changing environments 1/3

Starting to build my interview schedule for PAX East and getting excited to see everything there is to see! I'd love to connect with othera that are going!
WE'RE LIVE! π΄
We're live with Episode 2. We just survived combat but the person we came to see is dead... What the hell do we do now?
Blades '68 is looking stunning, where are the folks at who produce AP's?!?!
Pokopia is so good, and poor Onix is just waiting for a real home because I have to do work? Unacceptable
Fair, but also, what if that extra hour was what we collectively needed??
Among infinite worlds, anomalies are bound to occur. A grain of sand in the cosmic machine; your ability to shift worlds is just that.

"Duality is a really good system, and Matt made a really good module" - Andre, @andreriveraart.bsky.social
Playing games where you bounced between worlds, whether on the same screen like in Contrast, or literal worlds like in Ni no Kuni and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, has been incredibly inspiring for this project.
I've always wanted to splice together two settings, like the best crossover episodes

The best part about game design is revisiting old code to add features, forgetting that you already solved a problem, then solving it again in the exact same way and being just as proud of yourself as you were the first time.
Controller/steam deck compatibility for Bean Sidhe coming soon I guess!
Stitch in Time Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement) Many argue about the nature of time and whether it can be manipulated. Some postulate that all things are cyclical while others argue for absolute linearity. Many who understand the true nature of time see it as a complex weave of intersecting moments, one that can be woven and stitched to fit your own desires. While attuned to this needlepoint hoop, you can roll your initiative rolls twice and choose which result you would like to use. Waste Knot. Once per day while attuned to this item, you can use an action to stitch a waste knot. Record your current HP and any status effects that are currently affecting you. After setting your waste knot, any time within the next 10 minutes you can use another action to cut the knot from the weave. When you do so, you are restored to the recorded HP and any status effects are reapplied with the duration that was left when the knot was set. Frogging. While attuned to this item, you can use an action to hastily rip the weave of time, setting the stitches anew allowing you to rearrange the initiative order as you wish. When you do this, it remains your turn so the order will proceed with the next person after you in the new order you set. Once used in this way, the Stitch in Time ceases to function in any manner. Daily at dawn, you can roll a d20. On a result of 18 or higher, it begins to function again. If you roll a 1, the hoop becomes a regular non-magical needlepoint hoop.
Have a player that's always regretting their decisions? Well now they can maybe not die so often!
