Time We Discuss Career as a Board Game Writer

from Time We Discuss | Career Podcast for Career Discovery and Career Exploration with Real Professionals · host Time We Discuss

#boardgamedesign #career #writers #newcareers #careerchange Special thanks to  @aubreandrusauthor  for introducing me to Devon Lucas, today's guest. In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I have an awesome conversation with Board Game Writer, Devon Lucas. We listen to her story about how she got started creating content, rules, packaging, etc. for board games. She talks about what it was like to work for a major board game producing corporation as well as what it is like to be a board game writer as a freelance and entrepreneur. We talk about what kinds of resources are available for an aspiring board game writer. We talk about what type of education would be helpful for this career and possible ways that a person can break into this amazing and interesting industry. Where else are you able to actually play board games and get paid to do that? After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career paths are available for a Board Game Writer and whether or not this could be a good career choice for you. #boardgamedesign #career #writers #newcareers #careerchange ================================================================= Timestamp: 0:00 - Intro 0:52 - What does a corporate board game writer do? 1:55 - What does a freelance board game writer do? 2:31 - How does creative flexibility compare between working as a board game writer in a corporate environment versus freelance? 4:52 - How do you stay creative in the field of board game writing? 6:30 - What was your weirdest source of inspiration for writing for a board game? 7:41 - As a board game writer, how many projects are you working on at one time? 10:17 - How did you get started as a board game writer? 12:00 - Do board game writers and board game designers get to play the games at work? 13:54 - Why did you switch to freelance for board game writing? 15:35 - What are some potential complications for a freelance board game writer? 16:49 - How did your education factor into a career in board game writing and how important was it to start in the corporate environment prior to transitioning to a freelance board game writer? 19:29 - How can someone transition into a career as a board game writer? 21:07 - Surprise question 22:08 - Talent has the floor 24:52 - Outro ================================================================= Photo credits: Photography provided by Devibaba http://the-magical-game.com/  @Devibaba  ================================================================= Guest Information: Devon Lucas Website: https://devonlaralucas.com/ Winslow Farm: https://www.winslowfarm.com/ Donate to WinslowFarm: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=2GW9NAAE58ZRW&source=url ================================================================= Time We Discuss Links: Official Website https://timewediscuss.com/ Time We Discuss YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@timewediscuss Time We Discuss Podcast (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/show/7HPIU4UX6p2GLKMxUuDMcP Time We Discuss Podcast (multiple platforms) https://timewediscuss.com/podcast Original Music furnished by Dan Swift https://danswift.com Twitter/X https://twitter.com/timewediscuss Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/timewediscuss.bsky.social Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timewediscuss
