The Adventures of Chantel 201: What is your career plan?

The Plan has always been to be a Sexy Bitch who gets to play D&D everyday, and to take over the world one game store at a time.

Now there was twice that I understood that money is important, and I tried to climb the ladder, but after both those times. I am just sticking to taking over the world one game store at a time.

I am almost done with Lady Fear, and next week I am going to get everything set up for my backerkit project.

The Adventures of Chantel 200 What Topics to you like to discuss?

Today’s Bonus Blog comes from the WordPress app. Cause for some strange reason the topic’s on the website and the topics on the app are not the same.

Anyway I think we all know what topics I like talking about but I also think it matters who I am talking to. my favorite topic to talk about is D&D, but when I was working at DQ many years ago. There was a kid that that’s all he wanted to talk about everyday, and I just wished he would shut up.

I like talking about clothes, and shoes.

I use to like talking about sports, and really have only keep up with it, so I could talk to a co-worker but now he’s on the night shift and I think I care even less about sports. if my D&D buddy ever stopped liking sports I don’t know what I would do. my kids like playing sports but we don’t really about it.

I like talking about Music.

I think that might be it for now, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 199: How Have you adapted to the changes Brought on by the Covid-19 Pandemic?

I have been thinking about this for some time, but maybe not how the question has been posed. Also I wonder if adapting if you don’t have a choice?

Anyway. Things have changed are there are a few people that I use to chat with on Facebook a lot before the Covid, and know we chat every couple of months if that. An other thing I can’t seem to get over is that in 2025 there are still people that will wear a facemask but will only cover their mouth, or but it under their Chin. We have already been through this and no one cares anymore either wear the mask or don’t.

Anyways the thing about Covid that I find interesting in 2025 is all the business that still blame Covid for their bad luck.

There is a store here that their hours are from 12-8 because they don’t get a lot of Business and they have been hit by Covid just like everyone else. but there are times that people will show up between 12 and 8. But any time you ask them about it. The only thing they say is we got hit by Covid just like everyone else. I am sorry it’s 2025 if you need to hire someone else do it. I know this lady that would love to work part time at an Adult store.

There are two games stores that went out of business and they both blamed it on Covid. Now I am not saying Covid did not have some kind of factor on the numbers, but here’s the deal.

When the first game store opened two years before Covid, everything they did was pay to Play, and I told them this was not going to work. No one is going to drive 12 miles to learn from some lady with a special degree how to play Snake’s and Ladders when 1) they could just play at home. 2) where I live there are 12 game stores in a 25 mile Radius that they can play at for Free. Now even without a business degree I could have told you that if people have to pay for everything your not going to be in business very long, even if COVID didn’t happen.

The second game store also opened before Covid, but they were more geared to the collector, and they did not support community growth very well. And if people don’t have support they are not going to come around.

Bad ownership got a huge break with COVID.

I think that is it for today. So until next time keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 194

This last week was rough, but as mentioned before this whole year has been rough. I was hoping I could get Mt.Kolob published today, but I just remembered on of the maps did not copy and the copy center is not opened until Monday.

This week the Patreon goal is to get two new Goblins. There are a lot of monsters coming out for 5e right now as I finish level four of Lady Fear. https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

What’s happening this week?

Lady Fear: I will get level for done. I think the only new monster I might have to do for level 5 is the big bad, it’s the same for level six. So I should be able to get those done fast.

MT. Kolob: I will get this Published on Friday. And then I can start getting everything ready for the Kickstarter.

Wonderland: I will work on this during my breaks at work. I think I have to write six more gods and then I can move on to the Character options part.

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

This Gamer’s Goal 193
