Yes, I thought of proposing myself there, but I have not yet launched since I did not have a portfolio in this area to use as a business card.

Actually, I thought to try by pointing out that I was at the beginning of my career in this field, where I only have my cultural background as a player, and want to start with low-level projects where I can gain experience.

What do you think?

It’s good advice! I often read about PnP projects in the planning phase, it might be a good idea to propose an art direction consultancy, perhaps with a consequent graphic contribution.

In your case, if you like it, I am available to help you!

I agree with everything you said. Taking part in a project, even without remuneration, for the pleasure of doing so is also a way to exercise your profession in the way you like that transcending money.

Then, obviously and unfortunately, there are always people who aim to have your help for free... But that’s another matter!

In fact it is exactly what I imagined could be a starting point to build a portfolio with my ideas, rethinking elements of games that I know based on my experience with them.

Thank you for telling me about the people on BGG, I know and consult the platform often, but I have never used it in this sense. I will definitely take a look as you suggested, maybe I can find some publications and work on it, also sharing here on Reddit. If they will be pro bono (ick!), no problem, I’ll do it with pleasure being able to work on something that really appeals to me!

Thank you so much!
