OneBookShelf have informed publishers that they are going to be merging RPGNow with DriveThruRPG. The backend of both sites is the same but from February 2019 all links from RPGNow will instead divert to the equivalent page on DriveThruRPG.

OBS have stated that DriveThruRPG has continued to increase in sales and traffic whilst RPGNow has tapered off. Admittedly, more of our sales come through DriveThruRPG than RPGNow, even though we promote RPGNow over DriveThruRPG, as can be seen from our best-seller list.

However, RPGNow has always had a greater dominance by the smaller publisher than DriveThruRPG. Often, supplements that get into the top 100 on RPGNow never even show their faces on DriveThruRPG. DriveThruRPG is much more dominated by the bigger publishers in the industry. This move may not be the best for the smaller, indie publishers.

Partly thanks to the recent Halloween Sale, three more supplements have reached the Copper best selling level on DriveThruRPG.

100 Conspiracy Books to Find on a Bookshelf

100 People to Encounter on a Victorian Street

100 Potentially Useful Things to Find in the Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland

During a recent stock art sale by Rogue Genius Games, I picked up quite a few pieces of stock art by Jacob Blackmon.

These are going to be used to develop more monster supplements for Hero Kids. The eventual aim is to publish an entire bestiary; however, the cost of the stock art makes it a bit difficult to buy all of it at once. So single monster supplements, available as Pay What You Want, are being released to generate the income to buy more stock art, as has just been done.

The existing monsters will be incorporated into the bestiary when it is ready. They may be tweaked, so feedback on these is appreciated.

Three more supplements have reached a best-selling level, either moving up or for the first time.

On DriveThruRPG, 100 Irrelevant Clues to Bamboozle Players has gone from the Copper level to Silver.

Meanwhile, on RPGNow, 100 Things to Find, See and Hear in a Forest and A Baker’s Dozen of Dungeon Rooms have both reached the Copper level.

Partly thanks to the recent Cthulhu Mythos Sale, several more supplements have gained new best-selling metal ranks.

On DriveThruRPG, 100 Creepy Things and Event s to Find in a Spooky House and 100 Creepy Things and Events to Encounter Outdoors became the first supplements to reach the Electrum level, moving up from Silver.

On RPGNow, 100 Rumours to Hear in a Town or Village became the site’s first Silver supplement, moving up from Copper, and 100 Less Than Useful Books to Find on a Fantasy Bookshelf reached the Copper level.
