Today, Levi Combs joins me. He has been on a wee bit of a hiatus. We talk about a number things and Levi Is candid about his journey to recovery. My goal was not to get emotional during the interview and I succeeded, however our discussion got cut short due to internet issues. We leave you on a cliffhanger.
The sandy beach calls. We have some sea glass to collect. The sun is shining. 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.
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.

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.

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, 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.
The hour 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, 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.

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, Matt Thompson of Critical Hit Parader joins me. Matt has found a creative niche lying at the intersection of RPGs and his love for music. We all know that those two great tastes taste great together, but it took a catalyst to make that happen. Matt is that catalyst. Warning alert, this is a very ramble-y episode full of music discussion and sporadic doses of RPG musings.
The stadium is filled and our guitars are tuned. Sisters and brothers, it is time to get rambling.

Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This a semi–weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people.
Today, Megan Goins joins me to discuss an upcoming Kickstarter project that she is doing with her friend, Terry Azamber. This is a solo journaling game called Terra Arcis. The game places a player takes the role of a person entering the land of the fey to find their lost brother. It is a race against time and the devious denizens of the fey’s twisted world. Besides writing prompts the game features a number of interesting mechanics.
In typical Rambler fashion we cover a number of topics including AI’s impact on teaching, the challenges of marketing, and how the fundamentals of writing a good story can inform good game design.There is more, so listen to find out. Sisters and brothers, it is time to get rambling.

Today, James Floyd Kelly of Delver fame joins me. He writes and publishes zines one a regular basis supporting such systems as Old School Essentials, Shadowdark and Mothership.
A Facebook discussion about Kickstarter ads prompted this meeting but we discussed the business ends of creating zines, running Kickstarters and managing expectations.
