#TTRPG creator tip:

Typically, one of the writers on a project hires the rest of the team: editor, artists, other writers, layout artist, etc.

But it doesn& #39;t have to be that way. It might not even be the ideal way.

A thread.
When I proposed Adventure Sidekicks as a spin-off series from Animal Sidekicks, I decided to take a step back. I would do editing and layout but leave all the writing to the team I& #39;d assembled.

That worked out great, so I got even more experimental.
With Supers & Sorcery, we divided the role of project manager in 2. I wanted experience running a Kickstarter, and I really didn& #39;t know much about superheroes. Cam led the writing team, all experts, and did an amazing job detailing an original setting while I took care of the KS.
I guess my point is that the writer isn& #39;t the one who has to pitch the idea, assemble the team, manage the project, and publish it.

I& #39;ve already given an example of an editor serving as project manager.
If you& #39;re an artist and have a portfolio, maybe get a writer to create an adventure to go along with those pieces?

If you& #39;re a graphic designer, you could lead the writers and editors for a project you outline.
In fact, you could limit your role to just project manager no matter what else you normally do. Sometimes it& #39;s nice to wear only one hat. (I wouldn& #39;t know.)
