Hi Sam,
Do you have any advice or can you point me toward any resources on how to publish TTRPG adventures on sites like itch.io or DriveThruRPG? Your adventure from the Knave2e adventure jam got me interested in what goes into publishing, as I am DM/GM/Referee who designs most of the adventures I run for OSR-style games. Thanks for anything you can offer.
Best,
Pete
Hey Pete! I've only made a few free things for jams (no idea about the intricacies of DriveThru ) so I don't really have much expertise to impart. What I can say is that jams are certainly a good motivator for getting something out of your head and into the world—in some state of completion at least. You don't necessarily need fancy software to get started—The Knacker's Yard was made entirely with PowerPoint, including the collage work! A lot of other folks used Canva as well for this jam (fellow jammer Hugh Lashbrooke has some nice templates) I guess it depends on your publishing goals. I'd just recommend poking around on the ol' blogs.
Thanks for confirming that the jams are a good way to get started. Glad to hear that fancy software is not needed. Powerpoint eh? Well, that's a program I've spent a lot of time with. The links to the blogs are win too as it can be surprisingly slow to find a useful blog among the sea of blogs out there. The here, here, and here are great too! Thank you for the taking the time to respond.
