Future of the DFRPG / SJG Report to the Stakeholders 2017 is out

Stakeholder Report is out and up:

Report to the Stakeholders for 2017

Well, this sucks:

"Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game - We have now sold the majority of what we printed. This should instantly slide the game into the "highlights" category . . . and it would be there if not for being so very late, costing more to produce than is healthy, and requiring so much of our upper management team's time and sleep. As it is, the game will likely be sold out at our primary warehouse before the end of the first quarter and will not be reprinted. The current market doesn't leave room for a game like this to succeed, and it's a great thing that we cut our planned print run by 30% or we would be stuck with copies for years to come.

I'm glad I got my second copy when I did.

And it sounds like I need to write for DF, not DFRPG, even though I run my game around the latter.

  1. I've got more to say about this as well, but it will have to wait until later today. Still getting my feet under me from return from Thailand.

  2. The tightness of the print run foes surprise me, given I and others will probably want a second copy.

  3. I'm about to buy my third copy. Screw the current market. They make nice gifts to lure friends in with.

    1. I've got two, and I'm considering a third now. I don't really need the box, but the books. Hopefully they'll release these as POD as a set.
