Turning your passion for tabletop RPGs into a profession isn’t just about rolling dice for money — it’s about structure, consistency, and delivering a player experience worth coming back for. In this episode of Dice and Quills, I walk you through everything I’ve learned from years of running paid games: how to get started, how to build a strong listing, how to handle pricing, scheduling, player dynamics, burnout, and more.
Whether you’re still wondering if this path is right for you or you’ve already run a few paid sessions, this episode is packed with honest advice, hard-won lessons, and actionable tools to help you build a sustainable, professional GM career — without losing your love for the game.
