Reblog to Save a Life

I have talked about it before, but independant artists, and by extension independant TTRPG designers like myself and my team, live and die by their social media presence. We can't afford a lot of advertising, if any, and so we rely not only on word-of-mouth advertisement, but also just the good will of our audience. Like another designer @cavegirlpoems put it, we're basically busking, putting our art out for everyone and hoping for voluntary donations, donations which I writing this am reliant on as a disabled designer who can't work a normal job.

If you can't pay, you can still have it for free, and something that can be just as helpful is reblogging the posts of artists like myself. I'll demonstrate with a screenshot from our itch.io page for the open beta for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy.

(and on these days, it was only about 6 or 7 people who did the reblogging.)

As you can see, reblogs mean more people see our game, which means more downloads (and sometimes even payments), downloads mean more people play our game and more people see our game in the itch.io algorithm, which means more views, which means more downloads, which means more and so on and so on. But, it all starts with you reblogging our posts, and without that, we're stagnate. It doesn't matter if you have 1,000 followers or 10, your reblog means that our posts reach corners of tumblr that wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Myself and others are reliant on a 2-second reblog to be able to support ourselves as artists, you and your 10 followers are where it starts.

REMINDER: IT'S NEVER AS BAD AS IT COULD BE

REMINDER: YOU COULD ALSO BE ON FIRE

Lots of pop culture fiction about the Middle Ages likes to tackle the concept of witch trials (even though that didn't even become a thing until the mid-1400s and didn't hit the stride we think of it with today until the 1600s) in one of three ways:

"actually they were really witches with magic powers! (Bad)"

"actually they were really witches with magic powers! (Good)"

"they weren't witches at all they were smart women of science more sophisticated and advanced than those STUPID inbred people could comprehend so they killed them because they thought that medicine was evil"

no they were just weird people. How do you treat weird people?

Introducing the Polemos - Honored Guardian

The Apex Renegades Polemos is a mainstay of land-based siege operations. Its massive and imposing frame serves as a force multiplier for any unit it is included in, serving as an indispensable vanguard for any combat situation it is placed into. This can be attributed to the fact that the Polemos was designed to complement the rest of A.R.C’s catalog, with the intent of being a monolithic presence on the battlefield that draws fire away from less durable, offensively-oriented frames. Over its years of service, the Polemos has received further refinements to fall in line with more recent frames produced by A.R.C. These changes include an active Phalanx array deployed around the frame at all times, which effectively increases the Polemos’ battlefield presence even further and allows it to push back the enemy’s front line while keeping its own moving forward.

Marching at the front of the Pack is the Polemos, ARC's dedicated front-line shield-wall, the first to come to blows with enemy forces and the first line in stopping the enemy making it any further unscathed. On it's own the Polemos is a formidable shield wall but, alongside it's allies it's strengths are bolstered even further, using their presence to strike harder and Deeper, and the Polemos is almost never alone with it's hoplite drones as backup.

In it's suite of weapons and systems, the goal of the Polemos Frame is to never be caught on the back foot, the ARC Xiphos proves that there is beauty in simplicity and the Face of the Stalwart shield reminds over eager hostiles that a shield is just as effective as a weapon as anything else. However, nothing compares to the Proclamation of Thanatos, the superheavy signature of the Polemos that can crack open the very ground under it's target's feet.
