RPG Ramblings

By Jeff Jones

Discussions about the various aspects of making both physical and electronic Table Top RPG products. We talk with artists, writers, editors and game designers about their process, what they do, and how to hire them. We also look at the details of making your products available to your audience, including a look at printing your own products, how to publish on DriveThru RPG, as well as running a KickStarter.

Along the way we will ramble about other things of interest or hot topics.

Journey into Adventure Writing - The Blood of Nanku-Bhala [audio]

We are commissioning Dave is writing a Sword and Sorcery adventure and Dave and I discuss the details. He already provided a rough draft and now we are taking what he wrote and discussing next steps.

This may not be the fare you are looking for, but I had people reach out to me asking for such content. 

I am not an expert, by any strech, so take what you hear with a grain of salt. stretch

Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This a weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people.


Today, Jeff Grubb joins me. He is known for the prolific number of game supplements he wrote for TSR “back in the day.” His involvement in so many iconic projects makes him one of the key people who shaped the direction of Dungeons and Dragons in the eighties and nineties. He left TSR decades ago, but his proverbial pen still keeps writing.  As to be expected, we ramble about things old and new.


I have a Patreon that pays for my Zoom subscription. If you have some extra shekels burning an hole in your pocket, feel free to follow the link and support this show. 


The portal is opening, sisters and brothers. It time to get rambling.
