Just to give you all some insight on how thin things are in the RPG business, in 2 days, I am going to release the PDF and PoD version of a 32 page #Pathfinder2E adventure that I wrote, set in my own personal setting of Eventide! I am not sure this product will break even. 🧵 I have cut just about every corner that I can. I wrote it and I did the maps and layout. Between new, original art and hiring an experienced editor, I spent $2,500. I make about $6.50 per PDF or PoD that I sell (roughly). To break even, I will need to sell 384 copies.

Alright, let me break it down here into a few very simple steps.

Let me talk for a minute about a difficult time I had about 15 years ago, when I realized I had to stop identifying myself with D&D. I suspect many of you are, in some way, feeling some of the same things. I grew up playing D&D. I went to my first Gen Con at age 11. I spent my teens playing with friends, evangelizing to draw in new players, and working on my own campaigns. It was a core of my teen experience and as I grew up, it became something I used to identify myself.

So, there are a lot of folks out there looking to give #Pathfinder2E a try, and I've been seeing this question quite a bit

One of the things I loved about last night's #TalesFromTheLoop game, was that all of the following scenes were added to the plot, but were just as important to the narrative as the main story... 1. Two of the teens went to Echo Base, the local comic book shop, to check out the owner's preview of the brand new Nintendo Entertainment System, and after playing for several hours, they ended up missing their curfew and getting into trouble.
