Hi everyone!
I am reasonably well-known not just for creating tabletop roleplaying games, but also for expanding those universes into comics, novels, card games, and other formats.
Recently, I have been streaming one of the inspirations for my upcoming tabletop RPG, Era: Marscape, Doom Eternal.
Not everyone who might love your work is actively looking for it in the place you expect. Someone might not be browsing indie RPG releases at all, but they might be looking for interesting streams on Twitch. They might already love roleplaying games, they might even be actively wishing someone would make a Doom-inspired RPG that treats the source material with respect.
Well, I hope so, anyway!
By showing up in a space like that, even casually, you reach people who would otherwise never hear about what you are doing.
For me, streaming with Leo has also just been fun. I have genuinely enjoyed playing Doom Eternal, which has been on my list for a long time anyway.
In summary, do not feel confined to the industry label you think you belong to. If you want to spread the word about your work, do things you already enjoy doing and talk about it.
Spread your wings a little wider, and you are far more likely to find the people who want what you are making.
