I’m interested in editing RPG writing but unsure how to start. I think I’d enjoy and be good at anything from proofreading to copy-editing to developmental editing.

I don’t know many people creating for the hobby, so I don’t think I can rely on my existing network. Any suggestions?

Get on the NSR discord and start providing feedback for folks who are asking in the design channels. Go from there.

Long Ag, I reviewed adventure modules for a bit. I reviewed one from Inner City Games.

I also was a regular on a Yahoo mailing list Gygax had.

When Clark and Gygax formed Hekaforge to publish Gygax’s Lejendary Adventures, they both knew me and I landed the gig of editor. I edited the Rules for All Players, the tables in the back of the LM’s Guide, and the Bestiary. I also wrote the adventure included with the LM’s screen.

This industry is still small enough for that sort of personal connection to happen, I reckon.
