The Adventures of Chantel 239: What’s Coming Next Year?

The two wolf’s that are in me are fighting right now about if next year is going to be a good year or not. I mean I hope it is, but something tells me the best we are going to get is that is is just as bad as 2025, and I guess as long as we stop going backwards that’s a win.

I am trying to learn how to use a mapping program so I can make better maps for my adventures. it is going way slower thing I thought it would but it’s still going I think.

Ozzland will be coming out and I am really excited about that.

Wonderland is coming along, and I should get a lot done next year. my goal was to have the Basic version out in the Summer, but as I work on 16/6 if it comes out next year it will be at the end of the year.

I am looking forward to growing The Swamp. I have a booth and an Expo in January, and I have plans to get a booth at a con in February. There is also Rage con in the summer that I am going to try and get a booth at. Rage con might be a push because I think I am going to need 1,000 dollars in product to make that one happen.

There is a shopping trip in October that I am looking forward to.

and I hope lots and lots of gaming.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 238: 2025 The Year that should not be.

I read a blog that said 2025 is just as bad as 2025. https://tardiscaptain.com/2025/12/28/prepping-for-the-2026-character-creation-challenge/ I was talking with the blogger and he says they are neck and neck for the worst year ever and I like to point out that things are subjective. 2020 was a bad year, but I got paid kind of to stay home. The temp work was there a little and The Swamp still made Money. So based off those factors I would content that 2025 is way worse then 2020. There was also a light at the end of the tunnel in 2020. Though I have hope that 2026 is a better year there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

In March I published the last adventure in the Final Dream I saga. Mt. Kolob. I have sold zero copies this year. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/517553/Adventure-Module-CH-5-MtKolob?affiliate_id=1559598

In June I published Lady Fear, a 5e Gothic Horror adventure, I have sold zero copies of that adventure too. https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-lady-132912761?source=storefront

I did not write anymore adventures because I had hoped to work on getting better maps and formatting for my adventures that I had out. That did not work the way I had wanted it too.

In July we lot Ozzy. Man I miss Ozzy.

On August first I was laid off from my job. I have still yet to find a job. I remember a time that I didn’t care if I was fired for laid off because there were always going to be jobs. And now not so much.

Last year The Swamp made 998 dollars. This year I don’t even think I have made half of that.

On the Plus side to this year that should not be. I have gained 4 goblins to my Army, and that’s two more then any other year so I will take that win.

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

This Gamer’s Goals 233

This past week was okay for getting the writing done. I got less done on Christmas day but that’s because I fell back asleep.

The Adventures of Chantel 237

It has been a week and I think I am glad it’s over.

I had two interviews this week for jobs that wont even start until the end of next month. I also had some ex co-workers call and say they want me, but I can’t start until the 1st of next month.

The writing has been good, I have things moving a long in Wonderland, and I got everything done that I need to for Ozzland on Thursday. Now I just need to keep going.

There is a job fair and Expo on the 29th of January. I would like to go, I just need to find 75 dollars for a booth and lunch. But I need 100 dollars still for LTUE in February.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 236: What is one thing you would change about yourself?

Today’s blog topic comes to us care of WordPress. The great thing about this question is that most of the things I can change.

I know the question is what is one thing, but I think on this adventure we are going to talk about three and I think we will go in order of most important to me.

  1. My Boobs. They are big, and 8/10 days I am happy, but I want bigger ones. The issue hear is that getting bigger boobs, means getting new clothes and I don’t have the Money for that. I might have convinced myself to start saving money for new clothes.
  2. My Butt. I have a work out plan, I don’t know how much it is going to help but we will see.
  3. My Weight. I am working on this, but it’s a battle everyday. I am trying to be down to 185 before the middle of February.

I think that is everything for this time, so until next time keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 229

This past week has been good. I got 21 to Win mostly done, I just need to make pre-gens. The work on Wonderland is coming a long.

But now I am going in order of what Drivethru has listed as the Hottest titles, and in the Number one spot is Escape from Cyclops Island. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/260710/Escape-from-Cyclops-Island?affiliate_id=1559598

The Adventures of Chantel 235: It’s Turkey Time

Well it’s Turkey day here in America, and that means it’s we should be grateful for whatever we are grateful for. but as I was thinking about this for a few days, and I have been thinking about something other than what I am thankful for.

We all know it has been a shit year, and if you don’t I have talked about it a few times here in the Adventures of Chantel. And I think that is why I have been thinking about this topic.

The amount of times my wife and I have gotten into it because I tried to encourage her to be the better person. Now I am not saying don’t be a good person, you should always be a good person. But being that better person, that has done nothing for anyone. so you do what you got a do.

Two more things before I go. If you want to help me take over the world one game store at a time, check out my Drivethru store. All of my OSRIC adventures are on sale. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14046/Chantel-Jones

Second if you want to help Chantel be a Sexy Bitch that get’s to play D&D everyday, check out my patreon. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership

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