Description

Discussions about the various aspects of making both physical and electronic Table Top RPG products. We talk with artists, writers, editors and game designers about their process, what they do, and how to hire them. We also look at the details of making your products available to your audience, including a look at printing your own products, how to publish on DriveThru RPG, as well as running a KickStarter. Along the way we will ramble about other things of interest or hot topics.
