James IntrocasoGUEST
And I got some jobs writing adventures for the Adventurers League.
James IntrocasoGUEST
And at the same time I was doing that, Kobold Press was like, hey, do you want to work with us? Because I had met Wolfgang at some conventions and doing podcasts.

Uh, is there any other kinda interesting things in this temple that we need to take note of? Um, probably statues of the previous sultans and sultana.
Mike SheaHOST
Uh, there's actually a book.
Mike SheaHOST
Uh, there's a, there's a Kobold Press thing that has the sultans and sultanas in it.

Mike SheaHOST
So for the, for the people that just come up, they want to just ooh and ah, at the massive stone tablets that apparently have the symbols of destiny, but they're probably full of a bunch of BS and Evelyn probably changes them to suit whatever she wants.
Mike SheaHOST
And then they have the real temple.

Benjamin EastmanGUEST
this.
Benjamin EastmanGUEST
That's really how I broke into freelancing, to be perfectly honest, is that I had a CV and I had done some monster design that wound its way into Kobold Press Books.
Benjamin EastmanGUEST
And I'm just like, hey, you know, if I send you an adventure pitch, would you be willing to look at it? And like they knew me from running two years worth of adventures for them.
Benjamin EastmanGUEST
One of their freelancers at the time was the guy who was Doing the con stuff and he was introducing me to people as the person who did the bar brawl Which was my first published adventure design, which is just a swarm monster of drunk humanoids Yeah, it's it's delightfully simple But yeah, and so like you can you can work your way into that or you can say hey look, you know you know, I'm interested in doing this sort of thing when I went

Mike SheaHOST
So first, read RPG source books, right? RPG source books are a great source of big imaginative ideas.
Mike SheaHOST
When I look at books like the Midgard World book by Kobold Press or Dolman Wood or Tolis or the Forgotten Realms campaign settings for the third edition Forgotten Realms campaign book.
Mike SheaHOST
my god are those books packed with ideas little like each sentence has like a little idea that you can grab and come up with it and i don't think we spend enough time just sitting and flipping through source books and getting ideas somebody on the show recently just brought up the labyrinth world book the labyrinth source book that cobalt press recently put out this is their version of the manual of the plains right this is the cobalt press version of the manual of the plains and In it are dozens of worlds that you can explore, dozens of ideas.
Mike SheaHOST
And maybe you don't even have to travel to these worlds or use these worlds to have your characters go on adventures.
