Description:

When you’re brought on as a TTRPG freelancer, one of the reasons is that you bring something uniquely you to the team – whether it’s your style, your creative approach, your beliefs about what’s important, your perspective on life, or (usually) all of the above. But once you’ve got a seat at the creative table, how do you make sure that what you care about comes through? On this panel, TTRPG freelancers will talk about how to create and manage the balance between what brings meaning to us personally and the work we do for others professionally. How do you judge which projects will work for you? What can you add or shift without breaking someone else’s toys? And where and how do you stand up for important change if you believe it’s needed?
