A guided follow-up course to Publishing Your Campaign Setting: A Primer.

This is a step-by-step guide to building upon your original campaign setting primer. By the end of this course, you'll have a campaign setting book ready to publish

This course is designed to help aspiring tabletop creatives: 

📖 Develop the scope of their campaign book

🧑‍🎨 Learn how to work with other writers, artists, and designers to bring the book to life

💸 Set up a plan for bringing the book to market, whether through crowdfunding or direct publishing


Instructor Mike Myler has numerous successful TTRPG campaign books to his name, and he's sharing the secrets of his tried-and-true process, including a peek at the documents, timelines, and templates used to develop his most recent project, Chrono Slip.

Publishing Your Campaign Setting is a follow-up course to our introductory program, Publishing Your Campaign Setting: A Primer. It is highly recommended you take that one first, as you'll have a tangible product—a 20-30 page primer of your campaign book—that you'll build upon in this one.

This is a companion course! Be sure to start here before taking this one.

Azra Hawthorne

"The Publishing Your Campaign Setting: A Primer course is a great crash course into beginning to fit the pieces together for a campaign setting. Everything is broken up and done with the ease of access as well as made not to overwhelm you all at once. Taking the course has really set me on the path to building the foundation for the larger work of creating a campaign setting by giving people an introduction to it. I personally do not have much experience as a writer professionally and am a novice there. While I have played TTRPGs for over half my life actually building and running them is something new to me. I found the course extremely approachable and personable with great instruction highlighting my own level in the field. If you have something already brewed or are just starting to build up the foundation this course will set you on track to bring your setting to life and fruition."
