Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to look at the Weapons of Lore Kickstarter by my friend Jeff Stevens. We are going to look at the Gatepass Gazette Annual 2024 by EN World Publishing and Terror from the Underdeep, a new crowdfunding campaign from Goodman Games.
There was a really interesting Ray Wenninger interview that Stan did on YouTube, and we had a really interesting discussion over on EN World. We're going to talk about that later. Roll 20 cancels their Tales of the Valiant character sheet plans. We're going to dig into that just a little bit. I was just at the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo convention last weekend.
I want to talk about some of my experiences and some of the things that I picked up. I also want to discuss how to follow the RPG community on independent platforms. That's going to be something we're going to dive into today. And we're going to cover more questions from the Sly Flourish Patreon Q&A all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show.
I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk about all things in tabletop role-playing games. The Lazy RPG Talk Show is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of tips, tricks, tools, source books, a whole separate podcast, a whole bunch of things to help you run your games.
They get access to the awesome Lazy DM community over on Discord, and they help me put on shows like this. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your outstanding support. Weapons of Lore. My friend Jeff Stevens is running a new crowdfunding campaign for Weapons of Lore, a 5e D&D compatible weapon guide, weapon PDF and book that you can pick up. There is a free PDF download.
Check this out. One click download. Well, two clicks, but you don't have to sign in in order to get the preview of it. So if you want to take a look at it, this is, you know, one of the things I think is important is like, There's a lot of crowdfunding campaigns, right? A lot of things going on. I talk about them all the time on the show.
I do it because I want to shine the light on the independent RPG community that's making so many great things. Many of those great things are being made over on Kickstarter. I think some of the best products that have been made for role-playing games have been crowdfunded. Maybe the best products that have been
made for TTRPGs have been crowdfunded through Kickstarter, through Backerkit and others. I want to shine lights on that, but I think it is also, I also serve you. I serve you, the GM, and I recognize that you do not have unlimited fundings in order to support this. So I don't always say like, you should back it, right? I want to tell you about it. I don't usually say you should absolutely back it.
I will tell you what some of the better deals are in these sorts of things, which is why I talk about bundles of holding all the time and bundles of holding and humble bundles, because those are the best deals you can get for it. But I really like to look at previews.
