<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/adam-trzonkowski">Adam "Ferrel" Trzonkowski</a> is on a roll of late. He's a successful veteran guild leader, an accomplished author, and most recently, a Kickstarter success story. He's used his experiences in guild and raid management to pen <a href="http://epicslantpress.com/">two advice manuals</a>: The Guild Leader's Companion and The Raider's Companion, the second of which was successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign. And just a few weeks ago, he wrapped up his second Kickstarter fundraising drive for his new project, The Guild Leader's Companion 2nd Edition.<br />
<br />
Massively had a chance to speak with Adam and pick his brain about leadership, writing, and Kickstarter. Whether you're looking for advice on handling guild drama, seeking a little help getting started with your own writing project, or looking for his secret to Kickstarter success, you'll find the answer after the cut!<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/06/28/the-guild-counsel-adam-trzonkowski-on-guild-leading-and-kicksta/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Guild Counsel: Adam Trzonkowski on guild leading and Kickstarter success</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/06/28/the-guild-counsel-adam-trzonkowski-on-guild-leading-and-kicksta/">The Guild Counsel: Adam Trzonkowski on guild leading and Kickstarter success</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.massively.com/tag/adam-trzonkowski">Adam "Ferrel" Trzonkowski</a>, author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Leaders-Companion-1/dp/0615425909">The Guild Leader's Companion</a>, is working hard on his follow-up book to assist MMO raiders. Titling his second guidebook The Raider's Companion, Trzonkowski is pairing up with artist <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/holydust">Amanda Martin</a> to create a book full of advice on how to tackle some of the toughest content in online gaming.<br />
<br />
To help fund this project, Trzonkowski has <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/747300562/the-raiders-companion-a-how-to-for-raiding">launched a Kickstarter project</a> to raise $4,000 that will go toward the expenses of publishing, art assets, marketing, and so on. If you find this a worthy project to assist, then your donation will make you eligible for a variety of rewards including signed copies of the book, hardback editions, and art prints. The Kickstarter project is well underway and will continue until November 25th.<br />
