I really should have documented this, but I have been watching the number of link connections/hits.
First one, obviously the most common ran ahead rapidly. But slowly but surely the one I “love” even though I explain I don’t know why just passed it.
And one page dungeon ( probably the most useful most often) also caught up and passed it.
This is totally arbitrary and a tiny sample size, and I can’t break down the data… however it does show a bit.
Novelty + Placement = early on advancement.
Marketing + expressed fondness = slower advancement.
Slight marketing + explained usefulness = slower advancement but probable bigger ultimate growth.
However with this data point as it will go to the top of the forum, it might get new life. And I can’t say of unique views/different individuals click through all, vs click on favorite.
In the end I really admire what Watabou produces, and while not all of it is my cup o tea, many of the efforts inspire me, or really cut my prep time…and that inspires me.
Yes I support their Patreon…And I still love the Tank procedural. Not sure why, but seeing a new tank, then trying to imagine why it was produced that way inspires a lot of thought. I might skip 15…then suddenly stop and make a story about one, then the next then the next…and an hour has passed in 20 jabs of my thumb.
Bonus module: I really like this review of ICRPG
It explains a lot of my initial thoughts in a much more Succinct way than I could of…see how clever I am, adding a new link to track?
