As someone who (as you know) is struggling with this, I really feel it. I have found it fun to figure things out including about technical problems that have nothing to do with the writing that is my main ttrpg creative product. Like figuring out how to fold and staple zines myself; figuring out what kinds of fancy paper work for a zine; figuring out local printing; figuring out how to set up a webstore; etc etc. It is fun in it's own way. What I find less fun are the time conflicts, which I bet you get pretty well being a new dad and all. There are only so many hours in the day!

Hey Sean, congratulations on your success! The Mothership boxed set has definitely set a high bar in production quality, but I think people are going to be talking about the warden's guide for a long time (from what I've seen of it and what others have said about it)... but this was the first I'd heard about WES, so I went and had a look. Fantastic idea and really well executed.

Coincidentally, I watched the Q&A you and Mike Pondsmith did on Questing Beast and you were mentioned to him that one of the things you most appreciated about Cyberpunk was the game texts often being written as though in-world... is WES an example of the the first time this has been done with video in RPGs?
