Getting older changes my perspective on things, especially when it comes to employment. I am not offering any life-coaching advice but am leading a discussion with Zac and Brian on the subject of vocation as it relates to the core of who we are and what we want out of life. I hope you find this discussion helpful and lead you too consider what you want out of life and how to pursue it.
Alas, this is an RPG Ramblings episode, so expect some rambling.

Who doesn’t love the Jurassic Park movie? The theme of modern people, without the benefits of advanced technology and high powered weaponry, facing dinosaurs make not only good movie making but also a fantastic RPG. Zac Goins (Snapback Game Studio) and Brian Colin (Grimm Expanse) join me to talk about their latest project: RAPTOR RUCKUS.
You can do it...For this episode Zac Goins, Gregory Harris, and Danny Grimes joins me for a discussion on writing adventures for your tabletop RPGs. We have a variety of experiences and approaches to guide you on your own path.Kickstarters mentioned in the videoOSE Adventure Double-Feature - Two great OSE adventures https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1580058713/ose-adventure-double-feature?ref=50eyu6The Devoured Labyrinth - more than 40 one and two page dungeons for Shadowdarkhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/toweringtales/the-devouring-labyrinth?ref=4psqyh
Zac Goins joins me to discuss ways of marking one’s Kickstarter projects.
Producing content and getting print is hard enough, but adding in the marketing side can be daunting. I am not great a promoting my work, so this was an opportunity to brainstorm, and tease out ways one can bring in backers and get them to pledge early. Take everything we say with a grain of salt.

Being financially successful publishing RPGs is hard. It is a drain of resources, both time and money to produce a product that may not sell at the levels you need. For this episode I called together a panel that has one small publisher (Eric Bloat) and several micro-publishers (the rest of us) to discuss the hard reality of publishing and to brainstorm how we can improve our lot. Hopefully, you will find this informative and helpful.
The time is getting late. Sisters and brothers, It is time to get rambling.

Today, Zac joins me again and we talk about things both business and personal. We also discuss monsters in relation to game mechanics.
Scoundrels of Brixton is on Kickstarter and has successfully funded. The campaign goes on through August…but it is easer to back it now so you don’t forget it later.
Batten down the hatches, sisters and brothers. It is time to get rambling.

Today, Travis Miller joins me and we talk about many things, including his new supplement, Hogwater: Village of secrets. Intended to be a starting point for a sandbox adventure, its design allows a GM to drop it into a home game. We talk about the steps Travis took in doing layout and his publishing strategy. And we ramble a bit.

Today, Zac joins me and we talk about things both business and personal. We explore a wide variety of topics including marketing, pricing strategies, Fallout RPG, convention play among other things. The “among other things” includes Zac’s recent employment as Marketing Director with Limithron. If you do not recognize the company name, you will recognize the company’s flagship title: Pirate Borg.

Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This a quasi–weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people.
Today, Luau Lou of Dandyline Games joins me and we about our projects. On the table are issues we face and our thought processes as we progress through producing game products. The struggle is real, sisters and brothers. We probably generate more questions than answers.
Also, as referenced in the show, Lou had a podcast he cohosts called This Ol’ Dungeon. The premise is simple, chit chat in the beginning and discussion of an old adventure at the end. This is following the mullet model of podcasting, business up front and party in the back. The discussion of the old adventures contains a tour of what they like and what renovations they would make to improve it.
It is time to get on with this podcast. Sisters and brothers, it is time to get rambling.
