An EXPENSIVE mistake... you tell me, what's next?
There's no easy way to put it... the Pathfinder2e and Cypher System Journals were a MAJOR FLOP and I need your advice on which direction to go in next.
Should I continue making content for other systems, or focus on making tools for D&D?
Look, I love exploring different games and creating cool stuff for them- I even have designs for Candela Obscura and Call of Cthulhu all ready to go! But, if the market just isn't there, then I need to balance my passion with practical decisions.
I Need to Hear from You!
I have 3 big ideas brewing in my head, what sounds most interesting to you?
Other TTRPGs
Does Call of Cthulhu and Candela Journals call to you? Which systems do you want journals for?
The Everyday Collection
Journals for everyday life- a daily planner, a travel log, reading journal and project notebook.
The DM Toolbox
Very much in the idea phase, but I want to work on an all in one Ultimate Dungeon Master Tool kit.
Your feedback will help decide my next steps and make sure I'm creating things you’ll love.
Thanks for being part of this journey!

I really admire your work and yours is the go-to journal prop for RPGs. I’d personally think that a Candela Obscura journal will be outstanding considering how recent the game is and how sudden and prop-heavy it’s marketing has been (albeit you don’t necessarily need more than other settings).
I have been so excited about your Pathfinder journals – it’s just been the cost of living crisis that has really destroyed my ability to pick up cool finds like this. It’s in my cart and ready to go, but I think me and a lot of your customer base in aus are just struggling right now – its not that the release was a flop, I think it’s that ANYTHING you release right now might flop given how little disposable income a lot of us have.
I have been absolutely hanging out for your VtM: 5e ones, and can’t wait to have the money to buy the PF2E one!! Your journal quality is just incredible and I think with enough time and some stronger marketing you can definitely land more customers ESPECIALLY for Pathfinder, after all of the shit WOTC is pulling/has pulled.
Really best of luck, please don’t stop making other system stuff! But of course always do what keeps your business afloat at the time – there’s always the future for more systems if right now, DnD stuff is what’s keeping you going.
Honestly, a journal with tabs that I can label myself and scatter where I want (unsure how that would look – maybe plasticky? I don’t know!). The quality of your product is pristine – and it would be amazing to take notes on.
I would love your take on everyday planners – the sample photo with tabbed pages has me reaching for my credit card!
