Being Yourself for a Living - With Zac Goins and Brian Colin

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.

Are There Easy Ways to Market a Kickstarter Project? - With Zac Goins

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.

RPG Publishing and Making Money [video]

4.09


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. 


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.

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.
