This Gamer’s Goals 119: Out with the old and in with the Same

This last week was good, got work done, on Lady Fear, got some work done on Wonderland, and got the second Pamphlet adventure ready to go.

This week the promotion is going to be Castle Roan, It a tribute to my first DM, and the first adventure I played in D&D, plus it’s like if the Far East meet Greyhawk. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-r1-castle-roan/paperback/product-p4en28.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

It’s the last day of the year, month. but it’s still a day and that means there is still time to get two more Goblins to join the army. You can get said pamphlet adventure before everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

Alright what is happening this week?

Lady Fear: Keep that going, I have to finish writing the encounter I am on right now and then I can move along.

40 Days and 40 Nights: We will see how much of that I get done today, but I need to get some done. I need to be done with this project.

Wonderland: This week I will be taking my one day a week on Thursday to get some Wonderland done. I am so going to be using the First day of 31 days of character creation to create the leader of the Unforgiven.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 164: The Iron Writer Challenge

There is this facebook group that I am part of called the Iron Writer Challenge, and it is just like every other group I am in on Facebook, there are three people that always post, and the same three people respond to each other. Sometimes someone will show up, but I don’t count on it.

I have been looking and thinking about the about section of this group for some time, and now I am taking action. This is what it says. 

t works like this.

You tell us what you want out of your writing in the coming year.

We help you set goals to make that happen.

And we add some personal, physical, and financial challenges to help you up your game.

Then we use this community to keep everybody on track.

Got it?

Good.

Now what I want from my writing, is the ability to not have to work anymore, and be able to focus on Taking over the world one game store at a time. Now something tells me for whatever reason I am not there yet, but that is what I want from my writing this year.

What are my goals for 2024

To grow the Patreon. I have set a goal to get two new goblins every month. Now I will take more, but 2 for sure. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

I have a goal to get through 365 days of Everyday is Halloween, and with that will come the publishing of Lady Fear and Dracula’s Castle.

I have to finish the Final Dream. I was supposed to do a Kickstarter this year to get the box set out to the world, and I failed at that, but this coming year it has to be done.

One day every week I have to work on Wonderland. Now if I can get more then one day that would be wonderful. But with all the other things going on it has to be one day.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 163: This Gamer’s Goals 118

This year has been pretty good. I will admit it could have been better, but it also could have been way worse and I will take what I can get.

I published the King’s Castle for the C&C rules set. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch1-the-kings-castle-cc/hardcover/product-p2wvdm.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

I also published a 3 part pamphlet adventure called Weird Science, you can find that here on the web in the Game Store. https://theswamppit.com/the-game-store/

The next pamphlet adventure will come out this week, it’s called The Longest Night.

The Goblin Army grow, and that is great. There is still time to reach 10 goblins before the end of the year, and I am hoping we can do it.https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

So what about this last month of the year?

On the note of the Patreon, the goal is two goblins, that will get us to 10 goblins in the Army, and we will reach the goal of 60 dollars a month, that will allow me to get art faster which means projects will come out faster.

The Promotion for this will will be the Temple of Set. In this adventure, the heroes will have to overcome many challenges like the many traps that await them, New monsters like the Demon Door, and the Gay Death Toad, and see if they can finally find King Stonewall. 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

What are the goals for this week?

The Longest Night should be done today, and I can get it to the Patrons on Tuesday, and then the rest of the world on Wednesday.

There is still so much to do for Lady Fear, and I will spend everyday working on that.

Today I should be working on 40 Days and 40 Nights, but I will be spending the day planing out the new year, there are lots of things coming next year.

Alright my Friends that is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 162: What is one thing you would change about yourself?

This is a great question but I wonder how are we asking the question like are we talkinga bout boobs cause yes I want bigger boobs. or are we talking about how I would change not have to work 3 12 hour shifts to not be able to pay the bills?

I mean that is the goal, but be able to play D&D every day. so that would be the one thing I change, being able to make 62,500 dollars a month playing D&D would be the most wonderful thing that could happen to me.

This Gamer’s Goals 115

The Adventures of Chantel 160: Covid Sucks.

I have been sitting on this one for some time, and I don’t mean getting covid sucks, even though it does. I mean the effects of covid suck. Before covid I use to talk to a lot of people and played Magic the Gathering with a group of people.

Those people that I would talk to just about everyday, there was one lady, that we would share links with each other for dresses for work out close. Now Some of those people I talk to maybe once a week, and my online window shopping lady, I talk to her maybe once or twice a year. And my Magic Group we play maybe once every three months and only a hand full of people show up.

It sucks that our world has gotten smaller in some ways, but I get it we need to focus on getting ourselves right, I was just talking to someone about the mental effects of being in lock down for two weeks, and how a good part of people have not talked about what that did to them.

I know that the world is not going back to normal and for somethings that is great, but there is part of me that wished it does because I miss my friends.

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