JP Coovert writes and illustrates whimsical TTRPG zines every month. He also makes videos that teach and encourage creators to make cool stuff for their tabletop roleplaying games. He creates complete games, one-shot adventures (some that can be strung for an campaign, others thematically to each game), toolkits, guides, and so many other wonderful things.
I honestly think JP's Patreon is one of the best bangs for your buck in the entire industry. He mixtures creative writing, good game design, whimsical ideas, wonderful illustrations, in a portable and affordable format. What do you want more? And it's all pretty much system neutral and easy to adapt to your favorite game. And if not, he has a bunch of his own games you can play with ease.
I loved hanging out with him again (we hung out at Gen Con 2023). We talked about his work, his constant output of great stuff, his hobbies besides RPGs, making art, comics, writing, and so much more.
It was a truly inspiring chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
So listen up, and get weird with us!
