Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

On this week's episode, I am doing a Ritual of Scrying segment after discovering a very interesting article online that was all about the business of D&D and the TTRPG industry in general. It outlined 5 different tiers of success in the industry and really painted how disparate the big publishers are in terms of their business and financial success. It isn't exactly shocking news to anyone, but it just helps to better contextualize where this industry is today, especially when compared to how it started in Gary Gygax's basement with a small hand made box set that contained 3 little pamphlet style booklets. Tune in to hear about how successful your favourite publisher really is.
