I empathise with you,
I worked with Satine Phoenix during Maze Arcana and as Gilding Light's founding Community Manager/Chief Editor/Writer before I quit due to health issues.
I left #DnD completely, deleted my #DMsGuild work and vanished. I just couldn't deal with it anymore.

Satine Phoenix called me her best friend and asked me to handle social media for Maze Arcana. I did it for free. I learned a while ago that I have high-functioning autism so I hyper-focus on my work and miss a lot of social cues.
Like @JasonTDnDDM I've been silent for 4+ years.

This was a consistent trend in my friendship with her. I supported her through Maze Arcana's collapse. She said she wanted to support my work & have me on Gilding Light's team.
I believed she was my best friend, so of course I agreed. There was no official contract or NDA signed.

Last night we finished Descent into Avernus, a 5th Edition D&D adventure about devils, dark secrets, and redemption.
In this post-campaign thread, I'll summarize some of my thoughts about the campaign, how I ran it, and what I learned in no particular order.
Heavy spoilers.🧵

As a general disclaimer, this is not intended to be a review thread or a critique of the adventure's design.
Creating a 14-level campaign is a herculean feat. There will ALWAYS be something to nitpick, but I'd rather talk about what's to like. The team did a wonderful job. ❤️

I'm a bit of a Nine Hells expert! I got my start on the #DMsGuild before this book dropped, and before the players ever reached the Avernus section, I'd written or contributed to 5 hellish supplements, three of which are now Mithral Best sellers (in the top 1% of the guild)!

I can't guarantee anyone's suggestions will be included even if I personally support them.
I'm not planning to respond to folx individually at this time.
I probably will be muting the thread until I'm ready to come back and review all replies.

We believe in family values here at Family Friendly TTRPGs.
And we have an important #DMsGuild product announcement coming soon.
But first, we believe that family values include the importance of educating ourselves. Today, we study art history.

On June 22, 2020, a #DMsGuild designer published an self-proclaimedly gay #DnD supplement with leather daddy vampires.
It was not family friendly.
It was not family friendly.
And so, on June 25, the designer was asked to remove some of his art on grounds of it being not family friendly. Which all TTRPG supplements should always be.
I've been thinking about marketing and branding in the #TTRPG industry lately. I wanted to share some words of wisdom that I heard during my MBA that some writers, editors, and artists may find useful when creating projects for #dnd.
This is one example of a brand pyramid.

The idea behind the pyramid is that the "best" marketing is one that resonates on a deeper level with a customer by creating shared values. A brand that shares values with a customer resonates with them, usually leading to some degree of loyalty when it comes to future purchases.
For the purpose of this example, we're going to compare TTRPG products with soap.
The pyramid starts with Features: What is it? How is it different?
Early marketing from Dove would advertise that it contained cream. A creamy soap was unheard of at the time. It was different.

Hello everyone! As a RPG designer that started on the #DMsGuild and has been branching out to Kickstarter for other content, I wanted to do a review of my sales activity from the OneBookShelf sites (DMsGuild and DriveThruRPG), and put down some thoughts and lessons I’ve learned.
My first product ever was a book of extra goblins stat blocks, back in 4/2016. Decided to put a price tag of $1 on it, and I’m glad I did. My little baby has been chugging along, and is one of my 4 Silver Medal products. I’m so proud of you little goblins.
I tried a series called the Villain’s Handbook, inspired by the villain profiles from Mutants and masterminds. I made these PWYW, because I wanted to start driving attention to my products, and I knew that PWYW generally attracted more downloads. And that seems to remain true.
If you enjoyed my Avatar Thread / #YubiViews / Anything else I do and u wanna support me, here's a small thread of how you can! You are never obliged to do so, and I am exceedingly grateful for all and any support in all its forms!

1) The simplest way? Retweet stuff. It helps so much! I do a lot of stuff in the #DnD and #TTRPG circles, so it's great when people see my stuff!
2) I have a Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/itsyubi Slinging me a coffee means so much to me and I am so grateful for each one!
