TabletopIntel is looking for people to help us build the site — freelance writers and illustrators who know the tabletop, board game, and TCG space, plus a social media manager to grow our presence. Take a look at the opportunities below and see where you fit.
What We’re Looking For
News coverage and analysis across board games, RPGs, and TCGs — new releases, con recaps, product reviews. Pays 7 to 10 cents per word per accepted article depending on length/depth. We’re especially interested if you’ve got a specific angle (you were at the con, you playtested it, you collect the game) rather than a press-release rewrite.
How to Pitch
Email us at the address below with a short pitch — not a full draft. Tell us the game or topic, your angle, and a rough word count. If you’ve got clips or writing samples, link a couple. We read every pitch and try to respond within a week.
Graphic Design & Illustration
We’re also looking for freelance illustrators and graphic designers to create featured art for articles — cover art for a big release, con recap graphics, product roundup images, that kind of thing. Any style is fine as long as it fits tabletop gaming (fantasy, sci-fi, minimalist, whatever your lane is); we care more about a clean portfolio than a specific look.
Design Pay
We pay a flat $10–$25 per accepted piece, depending on complexity and turnaround. We’ll confirm the rate for a specific piece before you start work on it.
How to Pitch (Artists)
Email us at the same address below with a link to your portfolio and note that you’re pitching design/illustration work (put “Artist” in the subject line so it doesn’t get mixed up with writing pitches). We’ll reach out if it’s a fit.
Pitch us: write4us@tabletopintel.com
One note on accepted articles: they run with a byline, and we may lightly edit for length, clarity, and house style before publishing.
Social Media Manager
TabletopIntel (tabletopintel.com) is a startup tabletop gaming and trading card game news site — we cover industry news, publisher announcements, convention coverage, and gaming culture, with a growing shop and affiliate program on the side. We’re early-stage and building our audience from the ground up, which means this role has real room to shape how the brand shows up on social from day one.
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to own our social presence end to end — content planning, scheduling, posting, and community management across platforms.
