Alright, managed to worm my way onto Blue Sky. Still feeling my way through this, but if anyone is there please feel free to add me, here is my profile: https://bsky.app/profile/housedokpro.bsky.social (PS No invite codes yet, I just got there yesterday.)

Day Jobs 14: Scoundrel Being a hero doesn't make someone a good person. Lets hear it for all the double crossing, backstabbing, lying, cheating, no good, charmers out there. https://housedok.com/day-jobs-14-scoundrel/ BSky https://bsky.app/profile/housedokpro.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MetahumansRising Itch: https://housedok.itch.io/metahumans-rising Twitter: https://twitter.com/HouseDokPro #Metahumans #Superheroes #TTRPG #TTRPGSolidarity #TTRPGRising #DayJobs #Scoundrel

Normally I only mediate socials when we have something new to talk about. However, I thought I'd try talking about our current collection of adventures. Here goes! Pay What You Want... In spandex! Want a great one-shot for a #TTRPG session? Check our Drive Thru RPG page with over a dozen adventures, ranging from light hearted action to thought provoking tales. https://drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/5388/House-Dok-Productions All adventures are for Metahumans Rising. However, they can be adapted for fit virtually any spandex suits. Depending on your tastes, we have a number of adventures that also work well for urban fantasy, horror, or pulp. #Metahumans #Superheroes #TTRPGSolidarity #TTRPGRising #TTRPGFamily

I think this debate inspired part of the live action Aquaman film.

Nothing here looks inaccurate. Let me add from my personal experience, even when you have a team together and ready to go the moment you look like you're going to be funded delays happen. Layout for Metahumans Rising was delayed multiple times, due to events beyond our control. As such we began providing chapter by chapter updates as proof of progress to backers. That's not to mention the packaging and shipping errors that happened from our printer that led to a second print run and having to resend books. Sometimes, even when everything is together, bad things can happen. One thing I would add though is don't get too far down the line trying to think ahead. Focus on developing the core game, get some god play testing in. Then, when everything is buttoned up and it's time to get funding to bring something across the finish line, then pivot your focus. Now, that doesn't mean not to do things like network along the way, but more that the game itself needs to be solid before you get to crowdfunding if that's your goal.

Day Jobs 13: Military Captains, and Sergeants, and Generals, oh my! What does it mean to have a military career when you're wearing spandex? https://housedok.com/day-jobs-13-military/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MetahumansRising Itch: https://housedok.itch.io/metahumans-rising Twitter: https://twitter.com/HouseDokPro #Metahumans #Superheroes #TTRPG #TTRPGSolidarity #TTRPGRising #DayJobs #Military

Applied for Bluesky but have not gotten an invite. If anyone has an invite key though...

In one of the older cartoons, there is a scene where Pig Pen takes a shower. Then as soon as he steps out, he is consumed by filth. So I say to Mr Clean... good luck.

Day Jobs 12: Data Analyst Can big data power spandex? The data analyst possesses skills that allow them to not just understand their foes, but leverage that knowledge in and out of the action. https://housedok.com/day-jobs-12-data-analyst/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MetahumansRising Itch: https://housedok.itch.io/metahumans-rising Twitter: https://twitter.com/HouseDokPro #Metahumans #Superheroes #TTRPG #TTRPGSolidarity #TTRPGRising #Mecha #DayJobs #DataAnalyst

So, a few things to keep in mind, you cannot copyright mechanics. This is one of the things that made the OGL amusing to me when it first rolled out 20+ years ago. If you want to write a D&D clone and use everyone mechanic they have published you can do that today legally. What you can't publish without authorization are specific terms or setting material. Your statement implies that you want to shop your game to a major publisher. I think the big question here is, why? We live in a age where print on demand is no longer a bad thing and major PDF distributors have crossed over. Conversely, there are games like Misspent Youth that was self published, popular, and a major company approached the author afterwards to pick up the IP. Full disclosure, as a self published game designer, these are questions I've asked myself. From when I first started publishing in 2013 to today, things have only gotten easier to go it alone. Yes, get something legal done before going to Kickstarter. At the same time, that shouldn't stop you from play testing in the slightest. Also, if you are worried about promoting material, it hasn't been an issue for me so far. Which reminds me, I need to update my signature on this site. You can also get links to specific Itch products I've produced from the Free Adventure Seeds threads. A lot of them are only published as blog posted, but over the last year or so, I've been doing full PDF releases and linking to those.

To Word Sensei 515's point some indies will put up Ashcans for testing and then give buyers a discount when the main product comes out. That said, before you get there, beta test, beta test, beta test, with as many people as possible. If you're worried someone is going to still your deal: 1. It takes a lot of work. 2. There are some tricks for proof it's your IP 3. Google Docs has an NDA format and a Verisign plugin.
