We’re still in the holiday season. If you’ve been given a game or product from a small #TTRPG maker, you can give a wonderful gift back: A 5 star review on their site. Why 5 star? Because anything less tanks them on search engines. We live & die by these reviews, so please be thoughtful.

Today, we're slowing down & thinking of next year. Something that helps me focus is picking a theme word for the year. Listen to today's episode & then let me know what your word is! Find it on your favorite podcatcher or see the transcript here: www.lightheartadventures.com/rpg/episode94/

Very important poll. 👀

In today's mini-episode, we discuss finding team members for your new #ttrpg project. You need artists, editors, layout-how do you find them? How do you pick when dozens of folks express interest? Download on your fave podcatcher or see transcript here: www.lightheartadventures.com/rpg/episode92/

While on our trip, we got to play with the in-laws' 4 month old puppy. 😍 He is, of course, now a proud owner of our pet accessories. If you also want your pet to own some #dnd bandanas, check out the store! lightheartadventures.etsy.com

As we get into the holiday season, I thought a starter pack of gaming crafters would be helpful! These folks make gaming accessories, dice, nerdy housewares, tea, candles, etc. I know there are so many more out there, so let me know who's missing! go.bsky.app/VAdyczW

Hi new followers! We are BOTH a fantasy, high drama, uplifting, often frog-forward actual play podcast AND a TTRPG interview show What incredible value!

Today's episode dives into how Chris of Evil Pigeon Gaming writes #ttrpg supplements full-time: solely via Kickstarter. He cranks out up to 10 KS campaigns a year, a truly wild feat! Learn how by listening on your fave podcatcher or see transcript here: www.lightheartadventures.com/rpg/episode89/

Bowser wants to know why you haven't gotten a matching bowtie yet. You don't want to disappoint this adorable face, do you? 🥺 www.etsy.com/shop/Lighthe...

Here's a reminder that we have a Starter Pack comprised of previous Roll Play Grow guests! Aka a pretty kickass group of #ttrpg creators & entrepreneurs (Since it's hard to keep up w/everyone joining, if you're a past guest & you're not on the list, lemme know!) go.bsky.app/H8eNLh5

Hey #ttrpg, #dnd friends! I'm looking to guest on some shows. I can talk about podcasting, project management for game design and Kickstarter, & anything in my below thread that interests you. Or just games in general. 😊

I have a dilemma for my fellow #podcasters. A 14-year-old reached out, wanting to be interviewed for their upcoming Kickstarter. They had a successful KS from 2 years ago & it would be fun to chat about how a 12-year-old did that. But I don't know how to feel about having a minor on the show. Cont:

Hi! Jumping over to Bluesky like all the cool kids. Allow us to introduce ourselves. Do you like Taylor Swift? Do you like Dungeons and Dragons and TTRPGs? Maybe one or the other? Boy, do we have the podcast for you... #swifties #taylorswift #ttrpgs #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Well this is kinda taking off. 👀 So hi! I'm a Project Manager (PMP and PSM1) who's worked in many industries. You can learn about my past projects & book me at the link below. The pg is #ttrpg focused but I can manage projects for other industries too! www.lightheartadventures.com/ttrpg-projec...

I'll be real. It's been a rough time. I've been unemployed since December, and now Brenton is losing his job. 🙃 I'm a freelance TTRPG project manager for hire, and his experience is listed below. Let us know if you hear of any leads!

Hey gang. Brenton here. After 3 years as a producer at WizKids, I'm being laid off. I've worked on multiple miniatures products, including D&D, Critical Role, Pathfinder, and Warlock terrain. I'm also a freelance #ttrpg writer for Wyrd Games & ⬇️

Hey product-focused business owners. It's probably a good move to stock up on materials before inauguration day if you can. We don't know when these tariffs are going to hit. I know I gotta order hardware for the pet collars I'm making. 😕

As weird as it feels to announce anything new this week, we did want to share that our #dnd themed pet store is finally open on Etsy! We hope some pictures of cute animals wearing nerdy accessories help you smile. There are collars, bandanas & bowties in mult sizes 🧵 www.etsy.com/shop/Lighthe...

I’m Indrani! I do design, community, & marketing tingz in games. ✨ Jr Influencer Strategist at @devolverdigital.com ✨ Game designer at @durontogames.bsky.social ✨ Worked on Venba, Alice Is Missing, World of Darkness, more ✨ Co-founder @desisndragons.bsky.social, India's largest TTRPG community

We are back to mini-episodes between interviews! I've got a bunch of business ideas & bringing you along for the ride. Let's start trying what we've learned from all our wonderful #ttrpg guests. Today's intro is an overview of everything I'm trying. 🧵 www.lightheartadventures.com/rpg/episode88/

One goal (among many) we have is offering an escape from the world that makes you think differently about said world But for the next 48 hours this part of our space will also be a reminder to Vote early Vote today if you can Vote as if the world depends on it because it does

The hubs and I played Tangled Blessings by @cassi.mothwin.com yesterday and had an absolute blast! We only got halfway through because we got so involved in acting out scenes between our characters. So much fun 🥰

Important reminder for people who create stuff and sell it: if you worry about too much self-promotion, you probably need to do more self-promotion. The only people who could possibly see that stuff multiple times are your *followers.* They *want* to know what you're up to. It's okay.
