The Adventures of Chantel 134

Before we get into today’s question by Mike Evans of DIY RPG Productions. I want to share with you this game. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/214126/Death-is-the-New-Pink?affiliate_id=1559598. Death is the new Pink is my first non-C&C product to get this year.

*Discussion of the Day*- What is a villain/adversary that you want to use in a campaign but haven’t had the chance? The answer to this one, is Sister Maryann Wentworth. The head Mistress at the lady’s school in my Dracula’s Castle adventure.

The Adventures of Chantel 133: who wants to play D&D with me?

My friend Mike Evans of DIY RPG Productions https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/9599/DIY-RPG-Productions As once again got the wheels in my head turning or maybe they are not turning that much. Anyway here is his question and Answer.

*Discussion of the Day*- Dream team celebrity (alive or dead) RPG group. You want to run your dream campaign. You get five players and one GM. You can either be player or GM. Who are they? What’s the genre? Are you player or GM?

Right now, I want to run Barbarians with a group of peeps, so post-apocalyptic. I’d have Patton Oswalt, Kate Peterson (B-52s), Kurt Cobain, George Miller, Louie Armstrong.

Now here is my answer to the question and I was going to write this post this way even before finding out of the passing of a friend. So here goes. I would be a player. But I have never really been big on the Idea of hanging out with famous people. Do I think it’s cool that some famous people play D&D? Hell yeah I think it’s cool and more power to them, but it’s not my Jam

so to answer the question with a question, can I just have my Dead friends back? That is who I want to play D&D with, and the reason I would be a player, because one of the people I want back was my first DM and my best friend.

That’s it my friends, until next time keep gaming.

It’s once again time for your weekly reminder we are not asking you to stop playing D&D we are asking you to stop supporting Ha$Bro

How did this week go? It went great I got the Temple of Set published and am waiting to get my proof copy from Lulu in the mail. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/426836/CH-4-The-Temple-of-Set?affiliate_id=1559598

I also got three pre-gens done for the C&C version of The King’s Castle. I also got some notes down for one of the NPC’s in my pirate book that is coming soonish.

Alright, let’s get into this week. The promotion will be The Temple of Set. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/426836/CH-4-The-Temple-of-Set?affiliate_id=1559598. I don’t have a PoD yet so I am not sure what I am going to do one Tuesday for Two for Tuesday.

I am only four Goblins from having 10 goblins in my army. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

I am hoping I can finish the pre-gens before I go back to work on Thursday. I have one more half-elf to make and then two of every race, but the half-orc. I will get started on that when I am done with this blog.

With the crap, Ha$bro tried to pull with I have been getting rid of the things I am not going to be using because the old things I am going to need from TSR I am going to have to buy secondhand so Ha$bro doesn’t get my money, and second hand TSR stuff is not going to be cheap. So I Tuesday I will be posting more stuff to eBay. https://www.ebay.com/usr/chantejone_29

I am going to get some work done on the Wonderland map this week.

I think that is everything for this week. So until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 132: Ravenloft

Today’s post comes by way of Mike Evans of DIY Games. https://diyrpgproductionsstore.com/. Now this question came during the second dark age of Wizbro’s OGL. And that question is For reasons why system other than D&D would you use to run Ravenloft?

I think my go-to system would be CoC, it’s all about the weird stuff. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/260810/Call-of-Cthulhu-Starter-Set?affiliate_id=1559598

But as I was writing about CoC, I remember there is something even better. and that is The Night Shift by Elf Lair Games. https://www.elflair.com/

Ravenloft is/was my number go-to setting, but here’s the thing it’s not cool because of D&D it’s cool because it’s Ravenloft a world of Gothic Monsters and Shit, and you can do that with whatever setting you want rather it be Pathfinder or Savage Worlds. If I could find a copy of The Haunted Highlands I would be doing stuff there.

It’s short but that’s it for today, so until next time keep Gaming.

This last week has not been good for getting work done, but working the swing shift was only for one week, so this week I am back to getting lots of stuff done.

I was just looking at the home page of the site and I need to update it, so that is now on the list of things to do this week.

This week I am going to get the pre-gens done for the Temple of Set.

Once I am done with the Pre-gens for The Temple of Set, it’s on to Pre-gens for The King’s Castle C&C version.

Those are the goals for this week. So until next time keep gaming.

This Gamers Goals 72

This last week was good, I got The King’s Castle converted to C&C, now I need to do the pre-gens for that. That was all I had for last week so let’s get into this week.

This week it’s time to get things back on track, now that Wizbros has decided that we can keep on keeping on, I need to get the pre-gens done for The Temple of Set. I will start working on that today and can work on it at work so I am hoping that I can finish it this week.

When I am done with the Pre-gens for The Temple of Set, it will be time to make the Pre-gens for The King’s Castle C&C version.

When I am done with this blog I also need to go set the Gamve Store back up.

It’s a new month this week, the patreon goal is four goblins. I have two characters that I need to post.

This week the promotion is The King’s Castle. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/ch1-the-kings-castle/paperback/product-7dg5y4.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

  1. This spot will always and forever belong to Pink Floyd’s The Wall. https://open.spotify.com/album/5Dbax7G8SWrP9xyzkOvy2F?si=yd9EYHMjQZeFuIAhcDsUlA

Spot 2-5 are always changing and I am not even sure they all have albums but maybe playlists. Let’s see.

This week has been really good, I have gotten a lot done on getting the King’s Castle converted to C&C. I have not worked on any part of Wonderland.

Next week will be the 29th, but it will be focused on the next month, so I guess this will be the last blog post for this month. I set a goal to make 100 dollars off Drivethru and Lulu. That was before Ha$bro decided they wanted to be jerks. I am going to be lucky if I make 20.00 dollars and that is good.

This week I should be able to finish the King’s Castle. I will still need to make pre-gens if I am going to do that.

It’s a short blog, but that’s it for this week, so until next time keep Gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 130: From the Darkknight to the Joker! Part 1

I

have been saying for many years now that WotC is the hero we deserve but not the one we need, well with the attempted release of the OGL 1.1 has decided they want to change its role of superhero, to that of the supervillain.

There was a lot in the leaked copy of the OGL 1.1 but that has been covered a lot, everyone and their dogs have talked about Ha$bro/WotC’s money grab. But there is one thing I don’t see a lot of people talking about, and we should be. we really should be, and for this reason this post is going to have two parts.

The thing we should be talking about is how Ha$bro knows what they are doing is so wrong that they have to have us fighting with each other. The Us vs Them. Now look I can’t prove that WotC went to PBS and said hey we have this story we want you to write or how much can we pay you to write this story. But the time of this story was really good for WotC because the infighting had already started, and they were going to need it. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/how-a-new-generation-of-gamers-is-pushing-for-inclusivity-beyond-the-table

Then Wizards leaked their own document, and in it they said the reason they need to make sure the people using the ogl 1.0a can’t bring a bad name to the brand. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1423-an-update-on-the-open-game-license-ogl?fbclid=IwAR0VKBd-g6r5MQUs1PN_YzHBEZzCmqa-cGw_Ef8mLK7dG7pTvbCWxQZRHeA

Now I am not an expert but I think if the Most Just company was not trying to pull one over on us they would not need us fighting with each other. And if they were truly the Most Just company they would not have tried to Gaslight us and convince us that we are the bad girlfriend and that it was our fault we got hit.

That’s it my friends so until next time keep gaming.
