It really brought out some things that I hadn't consciously thought about, but that I now realize that I really should!

This week we're excited to bring you a conversation with freelance RPG writer Keith Kappel! Keith has done a lot of work with Fantasy Flight Games, and now, Edge Studios on both the Star Wars RPG, and Genesys, and we have a chat about inspiration, the constraints of writing as a freelancer, and for very established IPs. We also talk about how one might approach breaking into this line of work, and some things that could help you along your way to do so!
