I like this writing prompt from Word Press because it’s still game related because that is how to practice Self-care. there is nothing better than putting on a Miniskirt and playing or writing some D&D.

When I can’t play or I need a break from writing, I like to listen to Podcast or Music. My go to feel better Album is the Wall by: Pink Floyd.

It’s a short one today, but it helps me reach that goal of being A Gamer A Day. So until next time keep gaming.

This last week was very productive, and this week should be too. I have some finishing touches to add to the C&C version of The King’s Castle and then it will be done and ready for the public. The cover has already come back for it.

This week the promotion is Castle Roan my first GrayHawkish adventure. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-r1-castle-roan/paperback/product-p4en28.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

So what’s happening this Week at The Swamp?

The C&C King’s castle: I need to add a monster to the new monster section, and the Patreon Thank yous, and add the pre-gens.

Wonderland: This week I will finish the level 2 spells and the level 3 spells for the Temptress.

Alright, my friends I like that is it for this week. So until next time keep gaming.

One Facebook ad that has done me some good is the state of Utah’s desire to help women Business owners. The other day I was looking at Inspire Utah and found SCORE, it’s a place where people can get mentors. And now I have one.

My Mentors name is Adam, he seems cool. Today we just talked about what I do and about my website. So now I am working on coming up with a Call to Action to put up on the home page. https://theswamppit.com/.

He also wants me to use Facebook and Discord to promote my content, and I already do that. I was hoping I could add those little buttons that you could click on and it would take you right to the Facebook page, but in order to be able to upgrade my account to the next level, I don’t have enough money to upgrade tot he business account yet so I will do this.

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheSwamppit

Discord: https://discord.gg/u6vBNswu

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

I have already talked about how I miss my dead friends, so am not really going to talk about that. But another friend passed away this week, and that makes me sad. I have lost a few friends this year and it makes me think even more I have to get to Gary con next year. There are two people I have to meet before one of the three of us crosses the rainbow bridge in the sky.

There is more to say on this subject, but let’s save it for later, I think I have said what I wanted to say in this post. So until next time keep gaming.

Does it really though or is it just the people that use Social Media that suck? The answer is yes. There is this belief that if you want to do business in today’s age you have to be online. But I am not sure that is true.

There is a game store that when I started school in 2010 was making 300,000 dollars a year, and now they have four game stores and they post one photo every three months at best.

Let’s start with this blog, sometimes when I write a good post there will be some dude that talks about how blogs used to be the place where all the cool kids would hang out, and I would say it still can be nothing has changed. Okay, things have changed we are three years out of a worldwide pandemic that messed up a lot of things, but the point is that blogs can still be the place where the cool kids hang out nothing is stopping us, but us.

At the being of this year I was getting 85-100 views a day on this website, the crazy thing is that all the track to this site was coming from an article that was published by the Ten-foot Pole three years ago about how Castle Roan was like cooking a burrito in a Microwave. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-r1-castle-roan/paperback/product-p4en28.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4. Why did it take three years for people to either find that post or find this blog?

Twitter: My life has been a million times better since I left that platform and I am not 100% sure why anyone still uses it, okay I know what some people use it, but those people hate everything and everyone.

IG: I have 322 followers on IG and the most hearts I get on anyone’s photo is 10, that’s only 3% of my follower showing up. I remember reading this one article about the then-owner of IG turning off the hearts because it’s not a contest. But it is man it really is, and when you are trying to get businesses to notice you, you need all the hearts you can get.

I started following this one lady on IG because we both Hashtagged this Pantyhose company, she now has a paid partnership and it’s not even with that Pantyhose company.

Facebook: oh boy Facebook, in that last two months I have 24 hours bans on avg of every there day, and those bans come in the middle of me doing nothing more than sharing my memories. It’s hard to grow a business if you cant post.

Okay, I think that is it for my rant, so until next time keep gaming.

This past week has been good, I got some work done on the Temptress. I have maybe 7 spells left to get done for level two. I also am almost done with the new mine for The King’s Castle.

This week is going to be a busy week at The Swamp, I have to go and find a venue to have a con that I want to do. I am hoping I can do it this year, but feel that most likely that it won’t start until next year. I got a mentor and will be meeting with him on Friday. And lots and lots of writing to get done.

This week the Promotion will be The Temple of Set. I need to sell 51 copies to get it to Copper best seller on Drivethru https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/426836/CH-4-The-Temple-of-Set?affiliate_id=1559598 But if you would like a soft cover you can get it at lulu.com https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch4-the-temple-of-set/paperback/product-9gvw4m.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

Don’t forget Two for Tuesday where you can get both the PoD and the PDF for the Price of the Softcover book.

The King’s Castle OSR: I will have the Map of the Mine done on Wednesday, so I can get the new book published on lulu.

The King’s Castle C&C: With the map almost being done, it’s time to get back to getting this adventure typed up. I am on the second level, I am hoping that all I need is a week and it will be ready to publish.

Wonderland: I am only working two days this week, so I need to make sure I spend all my breaks at work, working on the Temptress.

Alright, my friends, that is it for today so until next time keep gaming.

There is so much to write about but so many other projects that need to be done. I have two posts that I have wanted to write for a long time.

The other day I had to mail a D&D book, and I took my wife with me, I told the postman that the package could go Media mail, but he charged me First Class cause he was busy chatting with my wife. That’s the last time I take her with me to the post office.

Today I went to this female business owner work space thing and my computer would not connect to the wifi, apparently the college thought my computer was an alarm system. So it took almost two hours for it to figure that out.

I thought I had more to write about, but I should get back to working on this project. So until next time keep gaming.

This past week has been okay, I figured out why I was not able to upload the new printing of The King’s Castle so I started working on the new map for the mine right away. I might get it done over my weekend. I also got some work done on the Temptress.

This week I will be promoting The Temple of Golden Nuts. An adventure where you meet the Knights of the Round Table. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch3-the-temple-of-golden-nuts/paperback/product-k4zrgv.html?q=Chantel+Jones&page=1&pageSize=4. I need to sale 47 copies on Drivethru to get it to be a Copper best seller. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/376104/CH-3-The-Temple-of-Golden-Nuts?affiliate_id=1559598

This week will be a good week. The goals are simple, get the map done, so I can publish a PoD of The King’s Castle and work on getting level two spells done for the Temptress.

That is it for now my friends so until next time keep gaming.

This last week was a good week for getting things done. I have almost finished the first level of the King’s Castle for C&C, I have started working on the Spell descriptions for the Temptress. I got more top loaders so I can get the rest of my Magic cards on eBay. And I got 0ne of the three blogs I wanted done.

This week I am going to focus on promoting two adventures the first is Escape from Cyclops Island. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/260710/Escape-from-Cyclops-Island?affiliate_id=1559598. The second is The Temple of Zeus. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch2-the-temple-of-zeus/paperback/product-nn89nz.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

This month at The Swamp I would like to get 10 new goblins to join my Army. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public. So if you are readying this post come check it out, and stay if you would like.

The OSR version of The King’s Castle: I have been working with Lulu support this week, so I am hoping we can figure out why my book won’t upload before I go back to work on Thursday.

The C&C version of The King’s Castle: If I finish level one tomorrow, I can get level two done by the time I go back to work on Thursday.

Wonderland: This week I will finish the Level Two spells and get to work on the level three spell list for the Temptress.

Alright my friends that is it for this week, it’s time I go get some things on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/usr/chantejone_29. So until next time keep gaming.

Today’s post once again comes from a Question asked by my buddy Mike Evens.

*Discussion of the Day*- Was yakking with my buddy, Ed Wrzesien, about Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and how fucking much I’m enjoying it and got to thinking about the games that really had an impact on me and how I enjoy video and tabletop games.

Here’s mine (put them in chronological order as I could, just because), what’s yours?

1. Zelda (NES)

2. Final Fantasy IV (SNES)

3. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)

4. Chrono Trigger (SNES)

5. Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

6. Final Fantasy VII (PS1)

7. Silent Hill 2 (PS2)

8. Skyrim (All Systems)

9. Zelda: BotW (Switch)

10. Slay the Spire (All systems)

11. Zelda: TotK (Switch)

So here’s mine and we might get to 10 but we will see.

1 Zelda (NES). This was where it was at for me until we get to my next game.

2. Zelda II (NES) I have debates with myself all the time about if this or FF VII is the greatest game ever. I love everything about this game.

3 Hero’s Quest I don’t remember what number it is but in the one, you fight a crap ton of goblins and you have to go to Baba Yaga’s Hut. This might be where my love for Baba Yaga and her dancing hut started.

4. King’s Quest 7 I don’t know what it is about this game, but I have an adventure on my production list based on this game.

I think that is it because the rest is just a different version of D&D and games like it, such as Crypts and Things.

Alright my friends that is it for today, so until next time keep gaming.
