TTRPG Designer's Guide: Pitching to and Designing for Publishers

Are you interested in getting a publisher for your TTRPG?

Here is a guide to help, regardless of what stage your game is at!

I've contacted a bunch of publishers about TTRPGs, and done a ton of research on how to pitch. I've also gotten an uncommon amount of amazing feedback from publishers. I wanted to put this together to help others prepare their game and their pitch for submission to publishers.

Every publisher is different, and I can't promise that this advice will always be applicable to every game and every publisher.

I am not an expert, or a publisher myself, so I am more than open to feedback, suggestions, and your own experiences! Please reach out to me and I'll update this guide! If you're using this guide, keep an eye out for updates as I incorporate further suggestions.
