It's become easier to explain what I do to people by comparing it to clowns or magicians thank you very much. :D TODAY'S UPDATE I've shortened standard game sessions to 2 1/2 - 3 hour lengths since I've been told that most potential clients probably can't fit the 4-5 hour length into their...

I'm getting a business counceling session tomorrow morning. I hope I can get some good advice. TODAY'S UPDATE I'm going to try and create business relationships with other companies and businesses to make this work. I'm going to be offering promotion and advertisement to game companies in...

The Monte Cook thing sounds interesting. I might try that when I can afford it. To save time for now, there are a number of published 4e adventures I intend to adapt or enhance to add to my services. For example, I'm going to be adapting/enhancing Keep on the Shadowfell for a 8-10 hour one-shot...

The best customers for the LFR service (as a reminder, there are multiple different services offered, not just LFR) would likely be power levelers with schedules that conflict with the game day(s) on which they could power level or don't want to bother with the organizing process themselves...

Most of the posters really aren't my target market, for the gaming part of the business at least. Most of them already have regular games that fit their schedule that they're content with or don't live in NYC or don't have the kind of disposable income required for hiring my services. 1. Yeah...

I wasn't implying that it's difficult. I'm just saying that it will be very easy as opposed to easy to legitimately power level with my hired service, made more affordable for this month.

An age-old marketing ploy may be what I need... BIG UPDATE I've made some price changes that may be reasonable (lowered it for standard and extended original/published adventures, raised it for the second LFR module run on the same day). I've decided to give a grand opening special for the...

1. Time. I'm making this business as a backup measure because I'm running shorter each day on the time left before things get bad again like before my brother stepped in and helped us out. 2. $900 is the MINIMUM I'm striving for, not the maximum. Not necessarily with the business but the total...

Actually, I'd already mentioned early on in the brainstorming for this that I'd look to publish the adventures as I write them for the business. This saves time. Okay. I'll send a publish-version of 'Delver's Requiem' and perhaps another adventure or two before the end of May. Thank you...

1. First of all, job openings that require my skill set that are also in my borough don't pop up every single day. In addition, there are others competing for the same jobs. I'm also not looking to get a full-time position so my options are further limited. I had one bad interview because they...

One has to take local price of entertainment into consideration, as well as local wealth levels. This is currently a NYC-based business, where the price of a movie ticket is as high as $12, an off-broadyway ticket can range from $20-60, and a broadway ticket can range from $100-200. The price...

My target is about $900 a month so I don't need to be fully booked at my rates, just 2-3 sessions a week to meet my needs and turn a profit. Also, my rates are based on actual local entertainment costs. It's between broadway shows and movies in NYC, and it's not for everyone. There are those in...

Before prepping the RPGA session, it had been a while since I last drew. I'm going to recalibrate myself the next couple of days before I post art up. My art for the Saturday meetup should look good enough for show. My original estimate for time consumption making original art for sessions was...

Today is my first run as an official RPGA DM. Yay. I'm bringing the heat on this one. I'll be sure to learn a lot from how the players react to this session. TODAY'S UPDATE 30 cards handed out at the first networking party were just the beginning. I also met some people in businesses...

Yeah, who else is going to have the schedule to run a game anywhere from 11 AM to 11 PM? Plus I'm putting extra effort into making the game memorable. Job hunting currently: a nearby yogurt shop/bakery opening soon, a nearby pita place opening soon, a nearby clothing store, and a nearby bakery...

I'm DMing an RPGA game this Wednesday (Gangs of Wheloon). Details are on the meetup group's site. Your friend is welcome to join in even if he doesn't have a 4th-7th level RPGA character. It's totally free, except he'll have to buy at least a snack or drink from the place where the meetup is...

It's not that hard to find the NYC DnD Meetup Group site. http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/ I'm Johnny Tek. Yes. At first it was just my planned stage/pen name but later on I made it my legal name for both personal and practical reasons. The nunchaku thing didn't work out. When I checked the ad...

On the meetup group's site there's a message board. I post details and a preview about the next game I'm running in a thread. It might be simple just to ask the players to write a review on the thread post-session to see what they liked best and what they thought could be improved further. I can...

I only just got an official pitch about it today. After further examination, it's not an illegal organization but the promises are kind of empty unless you are in it full-time and even then only with a lot of luck and a lot of disposable income from other sources. The amount of time and effort...

When I wrote recorded I meant that they take pictures and that my participation is more or less logged. I'm in the green shirt standing up if you check out the picture from the last monthly meetup. As for getting a job: I recently got some help fixing up my resumé and hopefully getting an...
