In this episode of The Creative Adventure: An Artist's Guide to Modern Freelancing we embark on a unique journey, blending the world of freelancing with the familiar structure of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft. Just as RPG characters choose a class—be it a warrior, mage, or rogue—freelancers have their own strengths and weaknesses that shape how they navigate the professional landscape. This episode explores how freelancers can reflect on their own skills, values, and challenges by creating a "character sheet" that aligns with their business journey. By adopting the mindset of a hero in an epic adventure, we’ll delve into key concepts like class selection, alignment, ideals, and proficiencies, all while encouraging you to embrace your strengths, confront your flaws, and define your unique freelance path. Whether you identify as a strategic rogue or a charismatic producer, this episode is designed to help you level up your freelance career through self-awareness and creativity.
