The middle is getting eaten alive in third-party D&D design. There are still lots of people self-publishing and making basically no money, and there are still opportunities for top freelancers, but it's getting harder and harder to move from the first group to the second.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Can confirm, I used the dungeon tables in the Cairn 2e Warden's Guide + a series of monster traits roll tables and got a fully-formed adventure concept in like 50 minutes!

I was just able to get this month's one-page #osr adventure finished! Hopefully, I'm going to get back on track next month. I'm considering ignoring my ideas list this time around and rolling up a random dungeon from sparks tables and seeing what I can come up with 🤔

I can confirm that, after uploading my third adventure, that this was either a one-off incident, or it part of their security checks for new sellers. Your first two products have to be manually reviewed before publishing, so my issue might've been part of that? My most recent upload took 20 minutes

My only gripe so far is that uploads have a habit of snagging at 80-99%. Sometimes they finish, and sometimes they just hang forever. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.

I really enjoyed Tabletop Unconference this Saturday. Comfortable format, live discussions of vital topics, glorious people. You can't appreciate an event like this more, if you're seeing half of this space once a year for 5 minutes at the con. Sarah, thank you for creating a room where it happens.

Thanks to everyone who came along to today's Tabletop Unconference! I'll try to do a little write-up of how it went from my perspective in the next few days, once I've requested/received feedback, but I hope people enjoyed the event. I'll likely run it again – perhaps even later this year?
