In the news, lots of big Dungeons & Dragons announcements, including the D&D Direct Recap, new Forgotten Realms sourcebooks, a Prodigal Sigil update, and more! This week on Morse's Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk!
This podcast is sponsored by Captain Wrigley's Starship Emporium. What's a starship? Is the GM mixing his genres again? Well, apparently Captain Wrigley is a very handsome man and the greatest salesman in the galaxy. Whatever that is. Wait, who's that? Greetings, Luteman. What? We come in peace. You come in peace? Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill? I'll show you shoot to kill, you witless drones. Take this fireball right in the face! Wait, what? They were just extras for the commercial. Well, why didn't you say so? Do I still get paid?
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Morris' own official tabletop RPG talk. I am Russ, a.k.a. Morris, or Morris, a.k.a.
Russ, and with me this week is... BJ Coffey from the Southampton Guild of Roleplayers. And here, taking time out from her quest to seek bloody vengeance after those who killed a river, it's the one, it's the only, it's... It's me, Jessica from EM Publishing. Did you say Revenge for Killing My Brother? Yeah. Yeah. He's still alive. I was making a secret joke that listeners, as they listen to this podcast, will then understand. Oh, okay. You see, we are playing with the concept of linear time, as we agree this is flat sub. I'm just completely lost. Okay, anyway. I'm sorry for listening to what our guests had to say. Well, people might be confused right now because of the way time works in a linear fashion. They have not yet listened to our interview with our guest out coming in the second half of the podcast.
The talented Richla Schofler from Skydome Entertainment, who has previously been on
but we'll talk to Rich in the second half of the show the first half of the show as usual we are going to talk about some news and there's a lot let's go it's a big big news week where shall we start what's that thing Oh, well, most of it is D&D, so let's do the non-D&D stuff first, and then we can dive into the D&D stuff. How about that?
All right, okay. Yeah, I'd just like to start the podcast off then. Top billing, let's go. With Purple Martin Games, as done by debt signer Peter Martin, the Manual of Adventurous Resources, MORE, has reached Electrum status on DriveThruRPG. The hard way, selling all these copies one at a time. Amazing stuff. And in honour of this, he's doing 25% off. So, you know, if you love success, now is the time to hop on that hype train. Fair enough. Fair enough.
Talking about hype trains and success. Oh, yes. Okay. Quick segue here into the biggest tabletop RPG Kickstarter ever.
Mm-hmm.
So the Cosmere, Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG has finished now. Yep.
What's the score on the door?
It overtook Avatar towards the beginning of this week.
I need to know what the final numbers were, because we've got a little bit of a sweepstake on the designer forum.
52,652.
PJ, you know the question.
I'm on it, Jessica. I'm on it. Armies of the world by size. So what country could the backers of this RPG overtake?
It's an average of $276 per backer, by the way.
52,000.
That puts us over Singapore with a mere 51,000 active military, but beneath the Dominican Republic, which has 56,000. Wow. Yeah, that's a lot of people. Good to know. Well, congratulations to them.
Yeah. So it's like nearly one and a half times what Avatar did in terms of dollars. but it's only about 60% of what Avatar did in terms of backers right yeah there's a lot less backers it's a much higher it's a more than twice as much average pledge is what's done there and a lot less merchandise as well there's a lot of stuff there's a lot of books there's a lot of books say that yeah
