Evil Hat is a fantastic company and offers a great package of services. Highly recommend considering them as a publisher for your game.
After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:
