I’ve put together the following page to help answer the most common questions I receive. Please don’t be insulted if I send you here instead of directly answering your email. I get hundreds of emails a day and it’s very hard to keep up. If your question isn’t here, please feel free to reach out to me at mike@slyflourish.com.
I'm a writer and designer for tabletop roleplaying games best known as the author of Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. You can learn more about me at About Mike Shea.
The best place to get answers from me about general RPG questions, running games, or other advice is through the Sly Flourish Patreon. Every month I host a monthly Q&A thread and answer every question patrons post. Patrons also get access to a Patreon Q&A database including answers to hundreds of previous questions linked directly to the timestamped YouTube video in which I talk about them. Patreons get access to lots of awesome stuff. You should join!
The best way to follow the stuff I make is to:
My time is completely taken up making my own new stuff and I can’t review or offer recommendations on someone else’s work. I suggest meeting with other communities of creators including the DriveThruRPG discord server and the RPG Writer’s Workshop.
I don’t take compensation for products or Kickstarters I spotlight on the Lazy RPG Talk Show and I can’t spotlight every product or Kickstarter I receive. You are free, if you wish, to send me a digital version of your product or sample. My DriveThruRPG email address is mike@mikeshea.net. Because my audience is mostly 5e RPG DMs, I focus on high-quality products built foremost to serve 5e DMs. I also only spotlight products or Kickstarters people can buy or back right now. I don’t spotlight products or Kickstarters that aren’t yet available for general sale.
I have far more products and Kickstarters in my stack than I can ever spotlight. Do not be insulted if I don’t spotlight your product.
I can't promote outside fundraising activities or programs on my shows, Patreon, articles, or newsletters. Even though many such services are often fantastic for the RPG community, promoting fundraising activities could end up overwhelming my output and puts our community at risk if such programs take their money and don’t deliver.
