Hey James, if I may: I often feel like you described in this post! Too many things and less and less time... new ideas pop up and you have not the time to consolidate that you jump into another project or topic... this can be frustrating however I do invite you to think the other way round and take the positive side of the matter! You're dealing with your hobby, your passion! You're not wasting time, you're dedicating it to your preferred activity: rpgs! You could not ask better!

I often feel alone in my tons of works to be completed or ideas but I feel happy to be completely immersed in my world, that's enough for my soul, achievements will come, we're plenty of time!

Hope it helps and may the fun be always at your table!

You're right, of course. I should try to bear this in mind.

Looks like you nedd somebody you trust to handle logistics for you, an assistant of some kind to handle this stuff according to specifics you set.

That thought have crossed my mind too. The difficulty is finding someone who'd be willing and able to do that — and put up with me and my peculiar ways.

Definitely need to hire a project manager for yourself. There are a tonne of people who would jump at the chance to do that sort of job on the side with you. Alternatively, and probably better, go into partnership with one of the small indie publishers. They handle stuff behind the scenes and you can still have the books published under your company name. There's at least three or four examples of designers - on the top of my tongue - I've heard of doing similar over the past 18 months. I'll see if I can find the details again.
