Want to break into the tabletop game industry but don't know where to start? In this video, I discuss the traditional way of building up a body of work and making contacts, as well as the disruptions to the industry over the past 10 years that have made it easier than ever to forge your own way.

I also talk about a variety of resources throughout this video including the following:
