Quote from: Hopladamus on September 09, 2021, 09:22:34 PMI remember that Shawn Driscoll also posts here occasionally and he did contribute a lot of artwork to Traveller games....

Oh yeah, you were also a contributor to Traveller. Jeff Hopper, right? Do you have anything that we could plug in here?

No one knows who you are. When you die, no one will even notice you're not around in the hobby anymore. That's how irrelevant you are.

You're hilarious. After getting yourself banned for trying to post private information about me, I probably don't need to respond to this but I will: you worked as a collaborator on some big projects.

This is like a guy who held up the mikes during the recording of some corporate record claiming he has credits on just as many gold records as an indie singer/songwriter who people have actually heard of.

Not to mention that in almost every one of these projects you were probably paid a pittance. "Freelance writers" who work "for the industry" in the world of RPGs want to pretend that they're the "real" game designers, when really they're just hired monkeys who write for almost nothing. What was it, one cent a word? two? five?

Your one solo project was a complete failure, much like yourself. Your entire life's work in gaming has probably earned you, at most, around what I make from RPGs in a month.

Hey Chuddo,

Just here to submit myself to the red section, what with my work having helped to raise tens' of thousands of dollars for bail funds during the George Floyd uprising, and the fact that I am actively engaged in anti-fascist activism.

So if you could add my zine; The City of the Red Pox, I would appreciate it.

K thx, bye.

Irrelevant people don't get on the list.

Was amused to see in my emails notification that you had responded.

To your point, your presence on the list confused my on that point.

After all; I, an absolute nobody freelancer, have worked on the same number of Gold sellers(you've had 4 right) on drive thru, plus a platinum seller, which you don't seem to have done. Add to that, the fact two of those golds are in off set print runs for a relatively large publisher, so you know, have probably sold the odd copy.

Then there is the fact that, The City of the Red Pox, has according to the publicly available sales data out sold The Invisible College. 

Keep in mind that The City of the Red Pox was my first solo project, came out of no where, wasn't supported by a you tube channel, blog and little cult of personality.

So if I as an irrelevance, which I freely admit to being, am not to be added to the list....Why are you on it?

:: WINK ::

Nobody cares how well you massage your numbers to make it seem like you are more relevant than a guy who has sold over 100x more books than you.

Likewise Zines and splat tend to sell more than rulebooks anyways, as they are lower cost and made for diehard fans of a system (and Troika is huge on Itch.io, especially with the Troika Zine jams). The fact that a zine hardly outsold an actual rulebook, if it even actually did, is more of an admission of defeat, if anything.

It's also not true. He got 210 backers (almost all of which paid under ten pounds) on his kickstarter, and then sold somewhere between 0-40(?) copies on dtrpg.

The combined Amazon and DTRPG sales of Invisible College only just since it started undoubtedly beat that. And unlike his stuff, will keep selling in some significant numbers.

I'll just leave this here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avenmcconnaughey/fat-self-care-volume-1?fbclid=IwAR37a0pq-pq82yPAH4_JuaqbS_tHbNVnxxAO8prdy21EpCyEhUcg5hy7GZE

"You are Rowan. You are Fat." 

Looks like cope the Kickstarter. Still only 181 backers so not really big imo. Although it is at least triple digits

Man, I'd say they have 181 backers and 0.1 players. It's all about 'support'! 

As far as I'm concerned it's cool to slag off fat people, as I am one!!

What IS the threshold for being on the list? I know with the green it includes small publishers as a pat on the back, but how many books does it take to put you on the red list?

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll on September 10, 2021, 05:08:20 PM
So does the list go by woke games and woke companies and woke companies that produced woke games and non-woke writers that worked for woke publishers and non-woke companies being infiltrated by woke-employees? And are their colors for representing all the things?

I edited Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition. For free, because I wanted the book I planned on buying to be well-written enough for my players. But Mongoose wasn't woke enough back then (ca. 2015).

So keep in mind that the list will have to be updated frequently as the main-stream RPG industry collapses, and indies become more popular/hated by the left.

They definitely edited that page between printings. I'm looking at scans from two different sources -- first printing and tenth printing -- and the entire 'additional consultation' block got wiped.

I suppose it'd be interesting to see when it got smoked, but honestly, Ben is just here to chase clout so he can get good boy asspats.

I'm pretty sure Pundit had a video about it when it first happened.

They removed all consultants because of "Zak S.": https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/dndstatement

The article only says they would remove Zak from the credits, but they nuked the whole list for good measure.

My comment was assuming he wasn't bluffing. Zines from what I have seen do tend to sell better due to them being cheaper and more modular in nature, but you might know different being someone who had actually written RPGs

I should have added: after today he'll never ever stop thinking about me (if he's like any of the rest of these pundit-obsessed losers), whereas I'll completely forget about him in like, a day.
