Chatting with other people in the tabletop community is a fun part of your pre-launch preparation. Naturally, you’ll have an opportunity to meet new friends (and hopefully new email contacts). However, you’ll also learn so much about how to crowdfund a tabletop game, what the tabletop audience is looking for, and the latest industry news and trends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tabletop groups on Facebook are the perfect place to start. The community on that platform is active, and you’ll find that people are freely sharing information and are willing to offer advice. Reddit is another good online option to try. There are a number of tabletop design, RPG, and board game subreddits that you can join.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t forget local communities. There may be playtest groups or board game groups in your area that you can join.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll get the most out of these communities if you are an active participant. Yes, there’s so much to learn from just observing the conversations that are happening. But don’t miss an opportunity to ask questions and share your thoughts too. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
