Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 23/09/2026This game is made of the memory soup from my childhood and teenage years. Night drives on long roads. Strange places and random violence. That one experience you can't explain. 1185

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 22/09/2026Bootstrapping a low margin business feels like navigating Tierra del Fuego, once a month. We manage to come out on the other side, but it's a white knuckle experience, for sure. 1130

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 15/09/2026Thrilled to launch this, and what it can mean for the partners I work with. One of the biggest hurdles with building up an economy is creating predictability -- without it, it's hard to plan, build, make long-term deals that benefit all parties, etc. Solo Party chips away at that problem. 131
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 15/09/2026Andy was one of the first people I connected with when I was getting started. So thrilled to be able to work with him to help bring this next dimension of the shop into the world. 0172

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 05/08/2026Rewatching the X Files pilot for the first time in decades. Pretty great setup with the vague, possibly Alien encounter -- last line of scene "is it happening again?" Great mystery worldbuilding 260
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 03/08/2026Interesting data point: I haven't sold any Pathfinder or Starfinder books since bringing them into the shop. 251
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 31/07/2026in the course of a few hours I got a notice from UPS that I owed over $500 in duties (on books from the UK) and then another notice that everything is cool and my packages have been released 🙃 010
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 31/07/2026So the idea of D&D "Universes Beyond" is an attempt by wizards of the Coast to capture as much of the non-fantasy TTRPG market as possibly under their centralized corporate umbrella 110
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 29/07/2026Last estimate I heard had for the size of D&D's business is at around a ~$400M. The Coastal Wizard's latest SEC filing basically confirms it. MTG + D&D + Digital: approx $2.2B MTG is now a $1.7B business 🤑 leftover $500B split across D&D and other digital products (Monopoly GO, etc) 160

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 22/07/2026i've talked about this before, but every once in a while, the shop levels up. it's been a lesson in the power of the slow build and incremental growth. you hit tipping points. it's happening again. 120

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 07/07/2026Dear publishers: stop relying so much on discounts to move your product. It's expensive. It erodes brand value. In many cases it only "pulls forward" sales that you would've gotten later. 070

Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 23/06/2026I ran the adventures in these in my MB campaign. Goblin Grinder had big moments, Bloat was gross and challenging. Cool to have in physical form finally. 140

Reposted by Tom G of Tabletop BookshelfKen Lowery @kenlowery.bsky.social · 23/06/2026This is also my #1 tip. I do not care about getting "gamers," per se, just people who are into the things the games are about 061
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 23/06/2026I think the way I'll approach this is just to share on what's working and what's not working. The number one tip I have is to learn how to present your games to different audiences, especially people who have never heard of a "TTRPG" or even a "roleplaying game." There's lots of them. 2193
Tom G of Tabletop Bookshelf @tomg.tabletopbookshelf.com · 23/06/2026Most people in the industry still don't understand the scale at which the shop operates now. My suppliers get it (they get the orders each week). I'm always debating how much I should talk about it. 2181
