Hopefully some other nerd reads this blog post and realizes that they too can fulfill their dreams of being a TTRPG designer or writer even while holding down a full-time job. This post is not a boast, nor is it an invitation for the IRS to audit me (pls no, I pay my taxes), but a simple sharing of my experience self-publishing Dungeons & Dragons products. In these last two-and-a-half years, I’ve released over fifty D&D products, and the royalties I earn seem promising enough that I can return from teaching abroad to live skinny as a starving writer. Yeah, I didn’t add an extra zero, or forget a decimal point.Ĭome July 2021, I will have been publishing on the DMs Guild for three years.
