RPG Wokedex Strap Yourselves In Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I helped put crap in Monomyth
I hope it draws some widespread coverage and does well.
I wonder about that... Not a single mainstream website wrote about it yet. One would expect that speed would be a strong point of online jounos. :/

You got an article on kotaku (http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/02/07/massive-book-about-history-of-pc-rpgs-is-out-now-for-free)

Yes, Kotaku, I know, but it's something, right?

felipepepe - I cannot put this book down. I go to the shitter, I take my laptop with me to read more of the book. I lay my old arse down to bed at night, I take the laptop with me so I can read more of the book. It is simply too marvelous to describe, my friend.

I doubt Felipe will go down that road anytime soon. He pulled through out of sheer stubbornness to give up, but I doubt he would have started it if he knew what he was in for

Insert clever insult here
Congratulations for finishing this felipepepe - I gotta admit that when I submitted my ME2 piece, I didn't really believe that you could ever reach the finishing line and put out a complete book. Really happy to have been proven wrong!

PS - do you have any download stats?

Why would they know it? It's not as if the book mentions it at all.
There's something called "journalism" where journalists do some research before publishing an article. And RPG Codex is mentioned first in several places which suggests its importance.

He said he doesn't but we know that most visitors come from USA, Poland and Germany.

You forgot about this:
https://www.wykop.pl/link/4150395/encyklopedia-crpg-udostepniona-w-wersji-pdf/ (very likely it's how they've heard about it)

Fun fact: Only ONE journalist sent me an email asking anything - a guy from Slovenia.

I'm on the train to work now, but Monday is holiday in Japan, so I'll have a long weekend to sit down and reply all the messages and stuffies.

Regarding stats, we had 60k unique visitors to the blog + 30k on the kotaku article. If we assume that everyone downloaded it and add the direct pdf links from other places, we are probably around 100k downloads ;)

There must be a printed edition.

And it must be leather bound.

For bonus points it should have a fore-edge painting. Fanned, for extra prestige points.

Edit: Once all the typos are fixed. "As much
as enjoyed seeing my father play"

"Not only it’s an amazing game that breath new life into CRPGs,"

"But that was also allowed, and we had a lot of fun talking about just how different our experiences was"
