Micro Sub - Season 1
RV Games has a line of microgames that we will be distributing via Substack subscription. The rules pamphlets to all of these games will be free; however, these do not include maps, trackers, or counters.
All ancillary print & play/VTT materials will only be accessible to subscribers for their first month of release.
We will also sell print-on-demand counters and will hold crowd sales for boxed versions of these games. After the crowd sale, these print-on-demand versions will then go live for public sale.
There will be limited retail availability of physical rules pamphlets and digital materials after being made available for paid subscribers for one month.
