The Adventures of Chantle 137 It’s called Social Responsibility

When I started my journey to get a degree in business, one of the first things they taught us was the idea of Social Responsibility, which is the idea that a company has a responsibility to make the world a better place. Now look I know that you know this idea is bullshit and that is fine. If you need an example of this just look at Ha$bro’s cash grab at the beginning of the year. It was done in the name of protecting the brad from Racists

The crazy thing about Ha$bro is we should have seen it coming, I have been telling people for years that Wizards wokeness was fake.

Okay, so we know that if a company has shareholders they are not going to be Socially Responsible unless it makes the shareholders money. But there are a lot of companies that don’t have shareholders and they aren’t doing a very good job of being Socially Responsible and maybe we need to be better at holding them accountable.

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

This last week was pretty good, I finished the pre-gens for the C&C version of the Final Dream one. I got work done on the Wonderland map.

This week I will be promoting Escape from Cyclops Island. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/260710/Escape-from-Cyclops-Island

I need 3 more goblins to join my army, in order to reach my goal this month. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

I need to figure out what day this week I am going to get more stuff on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/usr/chantejone_29

The Final Dream OSR: I have started editing The King’s Castle. This week I will get the Maps scanned so I can put them where I want them, and the Cover so we can get the new logo and some other things on it. I also think I want to make new pre-gens for this adventure.

The Final Dream C&C: All that is left is to type up the final draft.

Wonderland: I have started to add all the cities and stuff to the map.

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

This Gamers Goals 77

Last week was a good week, I worked on Wonderland two of the four days that I was off. I am not working on it today because aside from adding an island in the West ocean I think I am done with adding all the land masses.

I still have two characters to do today, but I have gotten two done every day.

This week the promotion is The Temple of Set, the latest adventure to come out. 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

I have added one more goblin to the Army, now we only need 3 more for this month. With all the work I am getting done on the Wonderland map, there are a lot of posts coming out even at the 3-dollar level. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

Alright, let’s get into stuff that is going down this week.

The Final Dream OSR: Still holding until I have finished the C&C versions up to The Temple of Set.

The Final Dream C&C: I still have 11 pre-gens to get done, that is counting the two that I am going to make today. I have a family thing on Thursday, but I am hoping that I can get four done that day, and on Friday if I could get four done, that would leave me with 3 on Saturday, and on Sunday I could start the final draft of The King’s Castle.

The Wonderland Setting: In the West Ocean there is a lot of open space, I am thinking about creating another Island, but I am also thinking about just leaving it, I am not sure yet. Aside from that, I think I am ready to start adding the cities and towns to the map.

I also think I am at a point where I can go back to my writings and continue with that, making sure I have all my notes ready for Basic Wonderland.

My friends, I like that is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 136

They say that if you like your job, you will never work a day in your life. I say even if you like your job, work sucks I wish someone left me roses by the stairs.

I am so glad that we are on my second day off after a long week of work. it wasn’t really that bad but, once again I was trying to make something out of my life, and should have known better. I mean this is like the third post I have done about how I should just go to work, do a good job, get my 36 hours and come home to work on my projects so I can one day take over the world one game store at a time.

I need to remember this when I start getting that feeling of wanting to move up at work, that it’s not worth it, because at the end of the day, I am in the best spot to help my business, so if you are readying this please consider checking out my Patreon and becoming a member. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

The Adventures of Chantel: 135 You did what?

It’s once again time to answer a question from DIY RPG Productions. This week everything they have to offer is on sale. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/9599/DIY-RPG-Productions?term=Diy+rpg+&filters=0_0_0_0_0_31817

Today’s question is What is an achievement/goal you reached that you are proud of?:) Now Mr. Evans breaks it down into Professional, DIY, and Personal. Now I know none of you don’t care what I have done in my personal life. Hell, most of you don’t even care what I did in my Professional life but I think The Swamp is my Professional life. So that’s what I am Proud of I have created my own Publishing company and am writing adventure and stuff for a game I love. And helping promote a dude I enjoy.

This Gamers Goals: It’s not 5 days

I don’t know why I thought there were five days left in this month, but there are not there are only two. In one way that is good, because I only have two days left before I can get my money from Drivethru and Patreon. But I was thinking about posting a follow-up about only having five days left to make 108,000 dollars.

There are only eight blog posts left before I have written 800 posts that is crazy to think about so let’s not and move on to the real reason we are here.

This last week was a good week, I got a few pre-gens done for the C&C adventure. I did not get to Wonderland.

This week the Promotion is R1 Castle Roam. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-r1-castle-roan/paperback/product-p4en28.html?q=Chantel+jones&page=1&pageSize=4

I am so close to reaching the 60-dollar goal on my patreon, which is going to come in handy when I start working on the pirate book because I want to get some inside art done for that book. I think a Goal of 6 goblins would be good for the month of March. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

OSRIC FInal Dream: This one is kind of on Hold for now while I work on the Pre-gens for C&C, but the next thing to do here is to fix all the errors my editor missed and to change a few things then get the next printing of The Kings Castle out.

C&C Final Dream: I still have 18 pre-gens that I need to make, I don’t know why I thought I was going to be able to do that in a week. If I can do two a day starting on Thursday then on my next days off I would only be able to get eight done.

Wonderland: My goal this week is to work on the Map Thursday and Friday.

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

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.
