From the Archives

Part of this week’s examination of the big crowdfunding projects in the TTRPG space involved accounting for fans – of a licensed property, yes, but also of actual play series – who get the chance to get something game-related from something they already liked. Seems like a good time to dip into the archives for a chat about fandom.

Discussion of the Week

What are some Assumptions you had to Unlearn/Correct As You Got Into TTRPGs? Running and playing games is a learned skill, and everybody makes a few mistakes along the way; this thread is full of speedbumps and misunderstandings, and ways people got past them.
