The Adventures of Chantel 250 Do I still Enjoy Magic?

At some time in March I helped a Dude and his wife move into their new place, and found out that he played magic, so we talked about that for a minute and decided that we needed to get together and play. So, Two Sundays ago we played and I don’t know if I like Magic Anymore.

Before this game I played a commander game at a store, and it took the whole three hours. Between that game and the three I played on Sunday it just wasn’t fun anymore.

The First game I played my Child of Alra and it went the way I thought it would. I am not to worried about getting bullied off the table when I play that deck against people that know how to play the game.

The second game I played I used the Fourth Doctor and won that game. that’s important because during these games I was keeping track of how many times player one won the game.

The last game got called early because one of the players had to go home, but I use my Will the Wise and Dustin Deck.

I was hoping to go to the game store and getting some games in, but it was Pre-release weekend for the new Magic set so I didn’t do that. I might try again this weekend. Note none of the games I played this weekend were with the Planner Chaos deck that I enjoy so much.

Alright I think that is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 249: Fuck wizbros but Part 2

Many moons ago my dude Timmothy from The Other Side Publishing wrote a blog post about how D&D is old and it needs a new setting. The Other Side blog: Why D&D 5.5 (2024) Needs a New Campaign World. After that I started a blog post of my own and after Ravenloft I kind of gave up because I don’t really care about Wizbro’s anymore there are so many other companies making way better products.

But this year we have learned that Wizards after saying they were not releasing anything this year. they are indeed releasing 1.3 things I will get in the .3 in a minute. But the one thing they are releasing is a new Ravenloft book. I don’t think anyone at Wizbros is reading my blog but it does make me a little happy that I kind of know what I am talking about. But it’s interesting to me that as I travel the internet Spelljammer has a bigger following.

Now as happy as I am that my 5e friends are getting a new Ravenloft book it’s not a new world.

Now let’s get to the .3. I say wizbros is creating .3 because the new Greyhawk books coming out are not going to be here until the end of the year but will most likely be next year. Good for the Greyhawk fans and even better for all the dudes that made you tube video’s about how they are done with wizards because they don’t like old white guys anymore. And I am sorry but wizards teaming up with Luke is nothing more than we are sorry old white guys. And a Greyhawk from Luke is still not a new world.

This Gamer’s Goals 248

This past week has been a struggle working on Wonderland, I have done it just not to the level that I wanted too. The work on Ozzland is going great.

I have a list of blog topics that I want to get to, but that takes up time for other things I really need to try and get them done at work.

This week the Promotion is still the April Birthday sale. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

I have gained 0/6 Goblins this month. But there is still time. I just posted a public post about changes to my production schedule so I can get more done I hope. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership

What’s happening this week at The Swamp?

Wonderland. Ozzland and updating the King’s Castle to have better maps and new Cover art.

Alright I think that is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

Battle of the Bands week 16

Before we get into the Battling of the Bands today. It’s Record day and what better to celebrate then with They Might Be Giants releasing a new Album. https://open.spotify.com/album/2eOGS9MYF17pZozfDIR09s?si=0PteapKFQ-O63EF_IdjdnA. I give it a solid 8/10.

Now there is a new Square Pig in a Round Hole. Also a great way to celebrate Record day. https://kareneisenbreywriter.com/2026/04/18/square-pig-in-a-round-hole-april-18-2026/? There were a lot of good bands today, and I kind of wish that Rotting in Place was not a rap group.

Today’s winner of the Battling Bands is guardin. Now that we have our second band for the current bracket lets see who wins guarding or Bone Theory? It’s an easy win for Guardin, it’s like Gnomes watching over the house plus the snog that helped them win today’s Square Pig in a Round Hole was a female lead singer.

I think that’s it for today, so until next weeks battle keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 247

This past week was good, I got a lot done on both Wonderland, and Ozzland. I have been talking to my artist about the covers for the Ozzland stuff. I need to get on that soon, I think I could have some copies to sale at Rage con this year.https://www.ragecon.com/

Alright my friends that is it for this week, so until next time keep Gaming.

Battle of the Bands week 15

There is a new Square Pig in a Round Hole, and that means it’s time to get dress and head to the show. https://kareneisenbreywriter.com/2026/04/11/square-pig-in-a-round-hole-april-11-2026/?. This week we are setting up the next bracket as we try to figure out if anyone is going to be able to beat Weakend Friends or are we looking at the band of 2026 in the making?

This week Kareen has picked some really good bands and really I thinks the only reason The Vinyl Countdown could not be the Winner is because they are an 80’s Cover Band. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that. They are just not what I am looking for in this battle.

That being said this weeks winner is Bone Theory. https://bonetheory.bandcamp.com/track/iron-flesh-primal-surface-session

All right until we meet on the Dance floor next week, keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 246

This last week has been a mixed bag of whatever you want to call it. I did not get very much done on Wonderland, but I have been getting a good amount down on Ozzland.

The promotion this week is that just about everything on The Swamps Drivethru is 31% off. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto= There are three products that for some reason won’t let me change the price on this. I am still looking into what is going on.

I am still on the search for six new Goblins to join my Army. This Month Just for coming to visit you can get 6 free characters, and at the 5 dollar level there is a new Magic Item, and a new spell for your Clerics, Magic-User’s and the Bard. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership

What’s happening this week at The Swamp?

It’s simple it’s just Wonderland and Ozzland.

Alright my friends I think that is it, so until next time keep gaming.

Battle of the Bands week 14

There is a new Square Pig in a Round Hole, https://kareneisenbreywriter.com/2026/04/04/square-pig-in-a-round-hole-april-4-2026/? And that means it time to get dressed and get to the concert Hall. Last week the problem was trying to decided which bad band was going to win. This week the problem is which good band is going to win. Because there can only be one.

This week the winner is Nightfeeder. I feel like this is a good band for Zombie Jesus week. Also it’s good Music.

This is a good week for Bands Battle, but I do feel a little bad that The NighFeeders are going up against a band that is only here because every week someone has to Win. So Yes in the Battle of Night feeder and Reader, the Winner is NightFeeder

Now it’s Nightfeeder Vs Northern Gold. For this battle Nightfeeder Brings https://open.spotify.com/track/2nCbDCufz4XGgdt3pTc8N5?si=4be17b845acd4d7f and Northern Gold brings https://open.spotify.com/track/1rKHp2mPXj425N3vzmAN3v?si=1f75c082422e4e3a

Because I am a Rock and Roller the winner of this battle is going to be NightFeeder. Now it’s time for Nightfeeder to fight Weakend Friends. NightFeeder brings. https://open.spotify.com/track/2A65qhpeSsAV4UDjnE0DY2?si=5874ad988f3e4179 and Weakend Friends brings https://open.spotify.com/track/0dpYHqOIvyn41Lplj6Vezp?si=6c000a59b2ed48e8. This battle is a good one, because they are good bands but at the end of the day Weakend Friends are going to take the W. They are a little softer then I would normally go, but a Female lead goes a long way with me.

Next week we start a new bracket, as we see who is going to knock out Weakend Friends or are they the band of the year?

Until next week keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 248: I have seen this before

I don’t think I was planning on writing a blog everyday, but that’s what has happened since the first day of April. And as I was riding the bus home from work on 4.2.2026. I know what I was going to write about today.

I just got done write a few things for my Patreon for my Not a Ravenloft project. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership.

And I know why I like Gothic Horror and not hack and Slash horror. For those that don’t know and I could be wrong but here is what I think the two are

Gothic Horror would be thing like The invisible man, and Dracula and stuff like that.

Hack and Slash would be like Nightmare on Elm Street and stuff.

The reason I like Gothic Horror is the Monsters are doing what Monsters do You could say they are evil, but do must of them know that, could they change if they wanted to? Maybe they do know, maybe they could change.

The reason I don’t like Hack and Slash is because A) I feel like most of them are all the same, and B or 2 for those that are counting) I already know that Humans are Shit, and they could 100% be better if they wanted to, but they choose not to be.

Gothic Horror might happen and maybe this woman would be happy being a Gothic whore or a Vampire Slut, but there is no doubt in my mind that the Story of Crystal Lake or the games of Saw could happen in real life and I don’t need that in my life.

Alright I think that’s it for today. So until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 247: Behold the Goddess of Beauty and War

My friend from The Other Side Publishing is doing something new where he checks out your blog and wants to put more thought into what he says about your post. And for some reason that got me thinking that I need to do more on the blog. I mean I try but things get in the way and There are projects that are more important than being a gamer every day, which is weird to say if one of my goals is to be a Sexy Bitch that gets to play D&D every day.

Anyway, I was reading an article about playing Gods in Magic the Gathering and it got me to thinking about The Gods in D&D. I love that in D&D the Gods if you wanted, they could be part of the Everyday part of life. I like the gods being in everyday life but I have not don that yet, mostly because I am just writing adventures. But even in the Temple of Set you don’t meet Set or any of his Avatars.

I don’t know why but I have been thinking about Gods in Ravenloft as I work on Ozzland more, Like Anaitis the mother if living Water, now there are other reasons that I have really been into this Goddess but I also have a note book that I have been writing in for Gods when I get to other parts of Ozzland.

I think that’s it for now, so until next time keep gaming.
