Hiring someone can backfire if you don’t ensure that person is the professional you need them to be. It is a task not to be taken lightly and there are some things you need to watch out for both in yourself and the person you want working on your project.

It is very hard to be able to do everything well and at some point you are going to need to hire someone to do some work for you.

Choosing art for your #RPG is a more important task that you might think and one that requires with certain skill no one teaches you about. This is one to watch out for!

Designing a game comes with plenty of perils, one of them is to get so close to the rules that we don’t realise if they truly work or not. Or not making sure the game is as flexible as it can and should be.

We are moved by hype nowadays. If one can create enough hype about a game, that game is going to do very, very well indeed. It is something we have learned from music, books, cinema, sport… hype works. But when should you start generating it?   This Podcast has been produced for www.gmsmagazine.com.

In #RPG #publishing, the tone of the writing of your game is going to help convey the sort of game it is. But how do you go about it?

How big should your book be? Because sometimes seeing a 600 pages #RPG can be super daunting for a lot of people, and that includes me! Do you need to #publish something that huge?

Destroyed in a magical battle, the comet is rent in two and appears to strike Earth. The event is known as The Sundering, the moment in which the Old World is separated from the New, perhaps permanently isolating the Americas. What’s more, The Sundering has brought magic into the world—creatures from folklore and fairy t

Safety around a table is important for some people and Brie Beau Sheldon has been working at it, not just for RPGs but also for our own culture for a while. In this interview, I talk to him about his work.

Unlike other tools like the X-Card, which are an “either/or” situation, the Script Change is a tool that allows players and GMs to decide how it’s going to be used during session zero and even during the game. Also, it has some more steps and sub-tools one can use. On one of the most obvious ways to use it is during the session zero, when it can be decided how it’s going to be used and define limits and boundaries so people can use it in a way that won’t break the game for anyone, and also give the right clues when someone is not going according to plan before the damage is done and the g

Lots of people want to write #LGBTQI characters in #TTRPG but don’t really know how to do it. In this episode, I talked to Steve Kenson, from Green Ronin Publishing about how to go about it in the safest possible way.

ENPublishing released #JudgeDredd after a successful Kickstarter campaign and the game has seen some interesting releases added to it. So why aren’t more people into it? This video has been produced for www.gmsmagazine.com. Please help our channel by subscribing and commenting and support our Patreon Campaign if you can: https://www.patreon.com/gmsmagazine   Judge Dredd has been a referent in the world of comic books since it came out over 40 years ago. Its criticism of social systems, the way it treats characters and some stunning scripts and artwork gained it some hardcore fans that love it. And it has seen some very interesting #RPGs in the past too, including a metal bound hardback that was sold for a ton of money in eBay a few years ago. I wanted to talk to Darren Pierce, since he has done a ton of work on the game and knows it rather well, and find out more about what the universe has to offer and why everyone should be more aware of this game.
