SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So hit me with suggestions, and I will see what I can do!

It would be good to have a publisher page, like this on DTRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3482/Sine-Nomine-Publishing

At the moment, if I find a promising-looking product, I don't see how to find sister products or work out if the publisher has good feedback for other releases.

To the right there's a filters option, you can filter by author.

Ah, OK, I've found that now, thanks, but only on the home screen. I've also found it on a product page - I clicked on Vendor Info, then there's a link next to Vendor which doesn't look like a link. Not to be confused with the Store Name, which is not a link. I'll change my request to making that easier to find from a product page.

Neat! It's nice to have some alternatives to DTRPG, Itch etc. And it has POD... this is promising.

Joe and Randy mentioned this thread this past week on their Tuesday podcast.  They're acknowledging their sites flaws.  They're not happy that they are being criticized, but are taking the feedback constructively.

Joe seems to be the main guy running the software part, so they're going to implement requests.  One specific one was to create more game categories. 
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

Looking at the performance, of alternative video sites for reference I am left to conclude that one must be able to run a viable business on top of a noble or righteous cause for the venture to be a business and not a charity.

A free speech bookstore is great, now can you please not suck as a bookstore so you will be around for years to come.
