Indie publishers/designers, what do you consider fair royalty rates for publishing someone’s stuff, if the publisher pays for printing, handles storage, distribution, sales etc, but the designer does all creative work. I wanna make sure my deal is good for the designer but don’t know the benchmark.

Not something I like posting, especially after the long delays with Issue #4. But I have to work within my means, and I don't have a lot in the tank just now.

Issue #5 will be further delayed, to Monday October 12. It wasn't an easy decision, as I had hoped I would not have to push the release any further. But illness has been slowing me down so I'm not working as quickly as I like. Rather than try to rush, I want to make sure things are solid.

A quick update: Issue #5 of The Hearth Magazine will come out October 2, not September 30 as previously mentioned. Our EiC is feeling sickly at the moment, so not functioning at 100%, and needs the extra few days to make sure everything is in place for readers. (Fall colds suck, y'all)

my post suggesting using LanguageTool for editing ttrpgs, as some people thinking I was recommending AI tools, : I am not. Every company is an AI company now (branding!). But LanguageTool, the core, has been free and open source for years, and it’s all written in Java and available on GitHub.
