Well, our project on Backerkit failed. We want to thank all of those who showed faith in the project and backed it. For now, we will take time to determine what went wrong and how we can improve our next crowdfunding project launch. When that happens, we hope you will join us.
For those that backed the project, if you did not receive my previous email, please contact us so you can get your thank you gift.
For a little bit of a laugh check out our new intro video on YouTube!
Today starts the 444st year of the Galactic Era!
Hello everyone. It has been an exhausting, terrifying, and infuriating couple of weeks for the tabletop RPG community. Like most of you we grew up playing D&D. We have been playing and running games since the mid 80s.
At first we were stunned that Wizards of the Coast would actually, allegedly propose something as onerous as the OGL 1.1 that leaked. We were stunned and stared on with disbelief. That disbelief turned into anger. Now that anger has turned into action.
We are a very small company, but have decided to follow in the steps of larger companies like Paizo. Toy Rocket Games will be looking into either joining the Open RPG Creative License or developing our own open creative gaming license that would allow the community to make royalty free third party content perpetually. It will be irrevocable.
To begin our support of open gamin, we will be creating and releasing a system resource document. This document will be setting agnostic and have all the basic information to create identities and run games. We hope to have this document ready during the second quarter of 2023.
We hope that you are all well. Take a break if you need. Drink water. Also, don’t forget that Wizards of the Coast does not control our community and hobby.
Be well.

Toy Rocket Games will no longer be selling books at DriveThruRPG. We felt like it wasn’t a good fit for us at the current time. Do not fret! We have begun selling 4952 Delta at itch.io.
For print versions of our books, we have a local printer that has done a fabulous job with our books. We are still trying to find the best way to sell and deliver our printed books. We will update everyone as soon as we know.

Today begins the 440th year of the Galactic Era.
It is a hard time for the black community right now. Anna and I are heart sick and angry with the news of George Floyd’s death. Another black neighbor murdered by our legal institutions. If you also feel the same way, and are also of white/Caucasian persuasion, and want to help support our neighbors of color we offer the following links. They offer ways to be an ally and a little understanding of what our neighbors, our fellow humans, are going through.

Remember silence is support. We must stand up for each other.
Welcome to the 439th year of the Galactic Era!
