Never heard of the Creative Conclave?
The Creative Conclave is a Chicago support program for Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TTRPG)-related creators. The Creative Conclave is meant to foster groups of creative people working on (or aspiring to work on) projects in the TTRPG-related industry/field/community, provide collaboration and constructive feedback, and incubate healthy competition between creators.
This Program conducts consistent stand-up meetings for creative goals, developing project plans, action items, milestones, sorting blockers, progress reports, collaborative work sessions, and periodically hosts guest speakers and developmental workshops. Said projects and/or endeavors can be for professional and/or personal purposes at the discretion of each attendee.
Who is the Creative Conclave for?
Everyone who’s creating content for the TTRPG world. If you make TTRPG content, run actual plays, are working to become a GM, develop your own homebrews, organize TTRPG events, make TTRPG websites, or do anything TTRPG-related — we want to see you there!
What if I can’t make this one?
Not to worry! We meet on the first Monday of every month! Keep an eye on the Discord server to details on the next one.
