This Week in Gaming Aug 12 2025

It’s once again time to talk about getting ready for the U1 to Ravenloft game that I am going to do with my kids. Side Note my son who wanted to do this game doesn’t want to do it anymore, so we will see what happens.

Last week we made characters for my oldest kid and her boyfriend. They are both playing half-elfs.

She wanted to play a Thief, she thought about playing a Paladin, but if she did that her boyfriend wouldn’t be able to play an Assassin.

We have a montely crew here a Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User, a Fighter/Thief, a Thief, and an Assassin.

Two more things. I need to get some supplies for a business trip in October and need to order them from the UK, and could use your help if you want to buy my products that would be great. https://tabletop.events/conventions/virtual-greyhawk-con-2025

This Gamer’s Goals 213

This past week has been kind of slow when it comes to the writing.

This week the promotion is The Sword of Laban, a 5e 1st level adventure. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/336768/The-Sword-of-Laban?affiliate_id=1559598

This week the Goal for amount of new Goblins to the Army is six. https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

What’s happening this week at The Swamp?

Well aside form all the stuff I have to get a new job. I hope to finish the Blueholme rules and get back to writing Wonderland.

I also will start working on Next months Adventures in Music and get some work done on Ozzland.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 215: What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

Today’s blog post come care of WordPress. I have spent most of the day thinking about if I was going to write a post today, and then I remembered I saw this question and need to write a post.

I hope more people come to the hobby. There are two things I want to come out of this blog and they are both kind of big.

The first is that The Gamer A Day is a tool to help Chantel become the sexy bitch that gets to play D&D everyday. There is the game store here on this site.

The Drivethru store: https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

And the Patreon: where you can become an Goblin in my Army, or even get a copy of Lady Fear a 5e adventure: https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

The second thing is, I wish there would be No More Turning Away. Even more today then ever before. I use to think maybe the games would be the ones to figure it out, but that was just a dream. Any way I try not to “Just Stand and Stare” but I hope I can convince you to do the say.

Alright I think that’s it for today, so Until next time keep gaming.

I am so tired. Job hunting sucks, and it’s even worse when you have no job. I have been so focused on that, that I have not done much of anything else. And I am sure you already know this but the idea that it’s easier to get a job when you have a job is some next level bullshit.

I applied for two jobs last night, and this morning I got an email from both places that I have not been selected to move on to the next stage. I had a phone interview with a Solar company, but I know that solar is starting to lay people off.

On the plus side I only need to sell six copies of Escape From Cyclops Island in order for it to become a Copper Best-seller. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/260710/Escape-from-Cyclops-Island?affiliate_id=1559598

The other good news is. I have this other adventure for 5e called Lady Fear. https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-lady-132912761?source=storefront

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

This week in Gaming Aug 5 2025

It’s good to be writing a blog about gaming or starting the process to being able to game.

I am starting a game with my kids and their friends. We are going to be running U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, and some how they will find there way into Ravenloft.

So far we have only created two characters. A Cleric/Fighter/Magic-user and a Fighter/Thief.

That’s all I have for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 213

It’s been a busy day here at The Swamp. Most of it was spent helping my wife with her business. I think that’s how it’s going to be tomorrow too. Today she went and looked at renting a building.

I did have to go to the copy center and post office. I feel like I am at the copy center so much they should know who I am, and maybe the do but they don’t care and honestly I am okay with that.

The work I did for The Swamp today was working on the side project. I did some research for Wonderland, but have decided what I came up with I will use in Ozzland.

I got a DM from someone on discord today, asking about getting in on my Ravenloft game. They told me about their character a little and I was like first I deleted my game a month ago. and second and here’s the important part in 1e first level characters don’t get strongholds. And before anyone @’s me, I made it very clear when I posted the game that it was 1e.

I think that’s all I have for today, so until next time keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 212

I wanted to write a blog Yesterday, but I did not want today’s post to be the 1000th post. Turns out I should have done that post yesterday. Happy 1000th post Chantel. It’s only taken 10 years to do this but it’s still cool I think.

Most of my game writing right now is just readying. So not as much is happening as I want it to but I guess that’s how it goes some times.

This week the promotion is Escape From Cyclops Island. This adventure is for D&D 3/3.5 and has Flesh Eating Sheep. I only need to sell six more copies for it to become a Copper Bestseller on Drivethru. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5AbEin6Kuw

This month the Patreon goal is Six new Goblins. It’s a new month so there is a post about what is happening and the new setting I am working on called Ozzland it’s not Ravenloft. https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

What’s happening this week

I need to spend an hour working on my book, I will try and get more, but it has to be at least an hour.

I have to work on my side project.

I need to spend some time working on Ozzland.

And of course the main focus of my time is Wonderland

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

It’s almost time to go back to the day job. So it’s adventure time.

We are approaching the end of Christmas in July. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&filters=0_0_0_0_0_31815&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

Lady Fear was the second adventure I Published this year. https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-lady-132912761?source=storefront I publish two adventures a year, and have done that this year but part of me feels I should do more. I would like to convert Escape From Cyclops Island but I need money for a cover, and I have a few more projects that I need to save money for.

I need to get art for my box set that is 170 dollars. I would like to buy a Templet for my adventures that is 250 dollars. And soon I will need art for Wonderland.

Wonderland is coming along right now I am reading about the Barbarian, and I think I am going to need to finish ready the Blueholmes book before I can move on with this class. So a couple of Days on that.

I had to go to the post office today to mail Magic Cards. Man it’s getting crazy. I can now only sale magic cards worth 5 dollars or more on Ebay if I am going to make any money doing that.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 211: The Universe part II

{“model_id”: “text2image_v1/prod/20250321-1342”}

Now I have shared in an early post that Rage con was a good time. I wish I was able to do more, but that is a different story for a different time.

After a time my wife asked how it was and if I had fun. I mean I already told her it was good but this was her way of saying that she wants to go next year. This great for me because I can have a booth and still run games.

Boy was I wrong. She wants to set up her massage chair and make money doing that. And good for her, I will do whatever I need to make that happen. But now I need to find someone to run my booth. And that is going to cost money. Which means I am not going to be able to go to Gary Con, unless I start making good money.

So in the words of The Price of Darkness
