But nothing will ever compare to the smaller, more niche one we got back when we weren’t even serious—or thinking—about commercially publishing one game, let alone the dozens that have followed since.

Changed my life.

FWIW.

…because come 2005 Jim Butcher was talking with his agent about all these inquiries about the rights to the Dresden Files for an RPG, and didn’t want his IP to land in the hands of folks he didn’t know and could trust. His agent said “don’t you know some award winning designers?”

Then he called me.

This is why Evil Hat exists. The subsequent ~20 years don’t come to pass without that call, and that call doesn’t happen if we hadn’t gotten that recognition.

I’ve enjoyed the times we’ve gotten celebrated by the ENnies — SOTC’s win “coming out of nowhere” a couple years later put us on the map.

Contemplating how the most influential award show for Evil Hat was the Indie RPG Awards held in the early 00s, before Evil Hat existed as a company. @rdonoghue.bsky.social and I won one for an earlier incarnation of Fate, “best free game”. It was a narrower population that knew about it, but enough…

1. interview a game designer
2. play a one-shot with their game/setting
3. have chill fun vibes?

It was a real pleasure to chat with @shannonappelcline.bsky.social about his upcoming new set of books.

"Appelcline: I was delighted to write about the original edition of Palace of the Silver Princess. This is one of the most legendary products ever published by TSR because the first edition of it was destroyed. They printed it, they gave out copies to the people at TSR, they got some out to distributors, and then — this is all hearsay, but that's part of what made it exciting, trying to figure out what happened — management, apparently, got a look at it and said, oh, this is terrible, we can't send it out. They went around, they collected the copies from everyone at TSR, they tried to get whatever copies that they'd sent out back. And then they had one person in charge of bringing them out to the landfill and watch as they were bulldozed under, so that no one else got copies of them."

Expect to see me banging the Die-drum a bunch across the next week. You need to get your orders in a week on Monday. It doesn't even need to be formal - talk about the books you like to the retailer, and it effects their orders. Now back to making marketing material.

DIE: Loaded has just been announced, where @stephaniehans.bsky.social and myself are back at @imagecomics.com and doing our goth jumanji thing to its fullest effect.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!
