I want to take a self-indulgent moment and talk about how I arrived at this moment, as a designer.

🎲✏️✨ Making an Income as an Independent Tabletop Roleplaying Game Designer 📚💸📈

I've been designing/self-publishing tabletop roleplaying games for 14 years. I've experimented a lot with design approaches, publishing formats, & funding strategies. I've learned from mistakes.

Another thread in my series of game design threads:

I want to talk about what The Forge meant for me, as a new roleplaying game designer getting started in 2005.
