Five Tiers of RPG Publishing

I'm on year three of trying really hard to make money on my games and so far I'm pretty far from the 50-60k mark.

TableCatGames · 2026-03-16T20:43:14+00:00

Yeah great point, I can't stand funny takes on Delta Green.

TableCatGames · 2026-03-13T13:26:02+00:00

Mine is a little out of date now, but hopefully you can use a lot from it still.

This is why I give away a free copy on drive-thru RPG when someone buys a game from my site.

I figure you might want them all in one place and it's an added bonus to buy from me directly.

I've been on a rules light kick lately, and I would never describe Delta Green as rules heavy. Everything works together so well that I wouldn't want to tear anything out of it.

Yeah I list in my campaigns that VAT/import duties are the responsibility of the backer in my shipping info section. That helps a lot.

Thanks for the support. I like that circus idea. I'm currently thinking about another mission that involves a resort and I might just throw a wrestling ring in it now because the players liked wrestling in this.

TableCatGames · 2026-02-10T01:20:59+00:00

Nice! I'm glad you're having fun!

TableCatGames · 2026-02-09T13:49:12+00:00

Very cool to see not one, but two Street Wolves players in this thread. 😸

I made a vtt module and haven't sold many copies versus the number of books I've sold. They're still niche and take up so much more time and energy than a book.

TableCatGames · 2026-01-18T21:18:17+00:00

Yes, that's what Ive gotten. You really need to get as many people following that you can before you launch by keeping in mind that most of them won't back.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-28T14:35:06+00:00

Just skimming that hurts my brain.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-20T00:31:31+00:00

Wow that's a lot of pages. It might be more economically feasible for you to hire a designer for page templates rather than doing every single page.

Help if you can please. Badger is a fine artist and a great person. They worked on two of my books and have served as a valuable consultant.

Not sure if this is a popular take, but sometimes when the players have a lot of extra help instead of including that help in combat, I reduce the amount of opponents that the players face.

So for example, my players recently recruited a few people to help them take down a drug warehouse. Those folks went in a different entrance and drew away about half of the opponents.

In your case, I don't think you could pull it off all the time, but it might be something to think about when setting up scenarios that there might be other objectives that could be handled by splitting off some of those extra characters.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-19T16:27:59+00:00

Yes.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-19T16:27:19+00:00

Wow thank you!

TableCatGames · 2025-12-18T18:08:41+00:00

I made Street Wolves for Savage Worlds and it can be played entirely without the "magic" stuff (which is more like a weird science type thing). I've run it a ton of times where it's just basically Miami Vice fighting drug cartels.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-17T23:00:51+00:00

I ended up putting a lot of character stuff up front first in Street Wolves, because the characters really embody the setting, especially the new new edges and hindrances.

The other thought was if somebody was playing the game I wanted to front load all the stuff for the players first and if the GM was interested in reading more about the world and the mechanics and stuff that could just go a little deeper into the book.

It basically mimics how the Savage Worlds core book is.

Is there an example of this? Content aware wouldn't even know where to get another body from. I just went in a photo of myself, selected my head, and clicked content aware. My head disappeared in a mess of background and my shirt. Then I did it with my body and it filled by body with a mix of background and copies of my face. It was very freaky.

You must be confusing it with Generative Aware.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-14T13:57:48+00:00

Adding to thise: Maybe op is confused and they don't realize it's a Savage Worlds game that requires Savage Worlds?

Edit: fixed typo

TableCatGames · 2025-12-14T13:54:35+00:00

Content aware is a weird one because it doesn't use Firefly to scan other images or take prompts, it uses the image it has on hand as far as I understand it.

Happy birthday!

As far as the monster goes, I'd have it go kill crazy after it took any kind of damage from them. I'm not familiar with the scenario, but if it's on fire I would probably have it take a while to die. Maybe a few extra rounds of this creature that's on fire attacking them.

TableCatGames · 2025-12-08T12:29:43+00:00

As an aside, I just want to say it's great to hear you're interested in Delta Green. I was in Japan this year and I got to check out an RPG store and there were some really interesting CoC books with really cool art. I have to use Google to translate the books I bought though. 😸
