bluedwarf.co.uk appears to be a text adventure inspired by Red Dwarf. No idea how that links back to Talon; maybe somebody linked to it on their forum?

Marketing
I described each project here on my blog in a couple of different blog posts. I’m a member of the RPG Bloggers Network, so those posts showed up there.
Analysis
RPG adventures and settings see big initial sales, then rapidly dwindling sales over time.
Plans
I still want to publish more supplements. I’ve been horrifically slow at publishing them, though. I now have another setting and another adventure each at the 80% mark.
So. Need to finish those and get them published. I’ve added them both to my list of active projects. But a plan without a date is just a dream, so:
- By June 5 — Finish drafts of The Goblins of Winterkeep and The Pyrrean Depths and send out for review.
- By end of June — Receive feedback on Winterkeep and Depths, and start first draft of second adventure.
- By end of July — Incorporate feedback on Winterkeep and Depths, finish polishing them, and publish them. Finish second draft of second adventure and send out for review.
- By end of August — Receive feedback on second adventure, and start first draft of third adventure.
And so on. With this schedule, I should be able to publish three supplements a year.
