What Publishing Questions Would You Like To See Covered on "Tabletop Mercenary"?

Regular readers around these parts know that this blog is divided into the Craft of Writing, and the Business of Writing. However, I also know that there are folks who function better with audio or video than they do reading through text. And since the 13th episode of my show Tabletop Mercenary is going live this Friday, I wanted to ask everyone here to weigh-in on something.

What are some questions you'd like to see answered on the show?


Before we get into the nitty gritty this week, don't forget to sign up for my weekly newsletter to get all my updates right in your inbox. Lastly, to be sure you're following all of my followables, check out my LinkTree!

Lastly, don't forget to check out my Vocal archive for additional fiction, articles, explorations of weird history, and more!

What Would You Like To See?


For those who aren't familiar with the program, Tabletop Mercenary is a show on the Azukail Games YouTube channel, and I usually put out between 1 and 2 episodes of the show a month. Not only that, but it's also backed up on my Rumble channel, The Literary Mercenary, for those who want to have multiple platforms to check it out on. I started the show about 8 months ago, and my goal with it is to (as the title of the first episode implies) pull back the curtain and explain what all goes on with the business and publishing side of tabletop roleplaying games.

Of course, tabletop RPGs are just a small section of the publishing industry as a whole. As such, a lot of the issues I cover, from affiliate sales programs, to getting good art for your books, to discussing community creation platforms, are things that will be useful for authors outside of the gaming sphere as well. So whether you're just starting out as an author, or you're an old hand with questions about how the landscape has changed over the past few decades, or you're just someone who has questions about publishing today, then my hope is this show will be a resource for folks like you.


So if you're the sort of person who regularly enjoys the content that appears on this blog, consider checking out this series. Not only that, but if there's a topic we haven't covered yet (check the link to the current playlist to see all the episodes out so far), leave it in the comments on one of the videos (or on this blog) so I can see it, and so my publisher can see it. Because those comments are far more likely to get turned into videos of their own in the future!

Lastly, we're currently trying to get the Azukail Games YouTube channel monetized, and we're only about 450 hours of watched content away from that goal! So if you want to do your part to help (and keep this little show going) please watch the episodes we've got up, and share the ones you like on your own social media pages! A subscription won't hurt, either, if you want to stay on top of all our releases, as well!
