Hmm, the initial post of this disappeared, but we need an informed electorate in 'Murica!

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Red Markets Rewards
« on: April 02, 2016, 06:59:45 PM »
For tabletop RPGs, sometimes the best "rewards" are those extra little bits that you can't get at the store, such as paying an extra $1 to become a reference, an extra $10 to become a contact/NPC in the book itself, maybe $50 to make an enclave in the book, etc..
I can tell you from the D6xD6 experience that while Skype/Hangout games sound great, they are a PAIN (scheduling, technical issues, LIFE). And packing/shipping extras like dice can be more costly in both time and money than you intend.
I've always liked the idea of giving artists more work as a reward; I might be tempted to pay $30 for a b/w picture of me as a vector permanently attached to my lawnmower, as an example, and an artist gets paid too! #win
I THINK what you do is set a price with an artist, then add like 5 or 10 bux to help with the project, or something like that

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: RPPR Patreon Discussion Thread
« on: April 02, 2016, 09:49:51 AM »
I increased my pledge in order to help RPPR upgrade The NET, but I'm not sure how long I can dedicate $25 a month (lol, teacher). A few months for sure, though. Other supporters might be in the same boat. Any thoughts on restructuring the Patreon rewards to place emphasis on the higher quality server first, to make sure the website runs smoothly? Or is this more of a one-time, annual cost that won't affect the way the Patreon is setup going forward?

I'm at the $10 level, which I think is a fair price (a bargain, even) for the amount of value and entertainment provided by the main podcast and AP podcasts. Having access to After Hours, WoD the Heck, and options to play in online games is a great reward for recurring payments.
I don't really have any suggestions for improvement; the only thing I find a little worthless is the "early access" to APs being only a day ahead. But, some listeners might really like that.
If you do want ideas for additional content, some podcasts on Patreon release mini episodes in between episodes. Maybe record a quick and dirty extended shout out (like, 10-15 minutes or something), without any editing or adding music or whatever, and just drop that to Patreon backers every week (or two weeks).
Just glad the Patreon (and the site!) continue to be a success.

RPGs / Re: Dice less gming FATE - stealing from RedMarket

I like the ideas. One other thing to add: the Cipher system (Numenera, The Strange ) also does no GM rolls, and players get XP for allowing GM "intrusions," which are similar to compels in Fate, just more broad and situation-based.

After getting embarrassingly frustrated by Alien: Isolation's save system, I tossed the game into the void in favor of Sleeping Dogs.
Sleeping Dogs is super fun. GTA + Burnout + Feng Shui = yay

Our latest dice game, SuperPower Smackdown!, is on Kickstarter. It's basically just a Yahtzee/pub-style dice game where heroes battle each other.
