I have two many hobbies. Okay really I only have two but they both cost or can cost a lot of money. Today I am going to the game store to get cards for one of my commander decks. Now some of the cards I need are going to be close to 100 dollars.

Now if I was a grown-ass woman, I would be saving that money for going to Gary con, or the Ravenloft books I am buying that cost 450 dollars, or all the old TSR stuff I need.

The crazy thing is, I don’t even like the commander format, but I enjoy the people I play with mostly. When I stopped playing Magic it was easy because it was not fun anymore, but now it is kind of fun, and I have a problem.

Alright, that is it for the day, it’s time to go buy some Magic cards. So until next time keep gaming.

I have spent two days looking for my blog post about the day I was at the game store, and some dude tried to tell me it was the Law that WotC makes all the monies. In said blog post I wrote all the things WotC could do to make all the Monies.

I did not see them taking money off the top for companies that make 750K a year and setting a baseline of 50K a year so in 2025 they can charge more creators a cut of the money they make but I am not surprised.

In the blog I wrote back in the day, I said that I could see them either ending the contract or buying OBS. Okay, I said they would buy it. I still think that either they are going to end the contract or Buy OBS. And here is why WotC said that if you are a creator making content using the OGL 1.1 you have to put your creation into a Database, well Dm’s Guild is a Database so why would they create a new database if they already have one? And yes I know it’s Wizards so creating a new database is not past them. However, there is only two days left in this year and people already have things ready to publish in January.

I thought I had more to write, but I am out of stuff, so until next time keep gaming.

First a question, why do we have Dungeon 23, but not 22, or 21? Is it a 23 and me joke?

Anyway, I am happy that people are getting into it and I hope they have fun doing it. I was asked if I was going to do the Dungeon a day adventure? The answer is I am not.

I am working on a project that is 365 days in Every Day is Halloween. I am getting ready for 31 days of Character Creation.

Depending on who you ask to define what a mega-dungeon is, all my adventures are all mega-dungeons. Now I don’t know if that is true or not, but I have some things that I am working on.

I am working on a Mega-Dungeon for C&C. This one is going to take some time because I am using all the minis that I have.

There are two projects that I want to do for Neverwinter.

The Last week was good, I got a lot done on Lady Fear, one of the adventures I have decided to do as part of Every Day is Halloween.

This week the Promotion is going to be 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. I was going to set up a 50% off sale, but I would have only made 8 cents off every US order, so I am not going to do that.

There is a lot of Content at The Swamp’s patreon, I just uploaded the Candle Keeper, the second big bad in Lady Fear. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public. I wanted to get five goblins this month, but with only one more week left in the year, I need your help getting two goblins.

This week is going to be a light week. I need to go to the bank and deposit the money I got to go to Gray Con and then it’s all Lady Fear. I also need to email my cover guy and see where he is at on the cover for the Temple of Set.

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

If you remember in one of the last goal posts, I talked about seeing a nice planner, that had a place for money goals. But it also had a little space for your 5-year goals, if you don’t remember it’s okay I got you. https://theswamppit.com/2022/12/11/this-gamers-goals-65/

The 5-year post will come later, but well I was thinking about those goals, and I thought I should do a post about the year in review. So here it is.

The year started out good, I was working on Wonderland, the Temple of Set, The Ravnica adventure, and a few other things. That is not how the year ended. The only thing that came out this year from The Swamp was Dancing In September. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/411117/Dancing-in-September?affiliate_id=1559598

The only con I went to this year what VGHC, I ran The King’s castle. And I was in the grand Joust, I almost won that. There was a Spelljammer con that I thought about going to, but I did not sign up for any games.

I was on a podcast called Wobblies and Wizards. https://anchor.fm/wobbliesandwizards/episodes/Chantel-Jones-e1qtmfr I think we spent more time talking about Roe Vs. Wade than we did about my writing.

I was also on a Youtube show called Games played Badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-KWFwrrRkQ&list=PL4-h3WvG8NI5crbLQi6CBopOymyQJrL45&index=64&t=107s

I think that is it, my friends, so until next time keep gaming.

Last week was good, I got some typing done on the Temple of Set and working on Every Day is Halloween.

This week the Promotion is The Temple of Golden Nuts. 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

Patreon: The goal is still to get 5 people this month. There is still time, and lots of good stuff for you to get, I am about to start working on Dracula’s Castle. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

This week is going to be light. I am so close to being done with The Temple of Set, but I have decided that I need a break so I will finish this project in January.

Every Day is Halloween: I can’t take a break from this project because every day is Halloween. So I need to get going on Dracula’s Castle and get the spell list done for the new class.

It’s a short blog but that is all I have, so until next time keep gaming.

This last week has been good, I got my planner for next year, and I found this really nice one that had a money tracker and stuff in it, but I decided not to get it, mostly because it was 20 dollars. I have been getting the Temple of Set done. I sent the art to my cover guy so I am really hoping that I can get it out by the end of the year. Every day is Halloween is coming along. I ordered the second book of graph paper that I need for it then I realized that I am going to need one more book so I can do the school of Sister Maryann Wentworth.

This week the promotion is going to be 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

There is a lot of good things coming to the Swamp and Every day is Halloween is a lot of fun. I would like to get 5 new goblins this week. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

Okay, The goals for this week. I have been sitting on a blog for some time, so this week I will get it out.

The Temple of Set: I need to push to get this out. I think there are about 50 rooms that I need to type up. I am about to start my seven-day weekend for this month, so that will be lots of time to get this project done.

Every day is Halloween: still keep trucking.

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

This last week was okay. I got the third level of the Temple of Set done. I also got the cover ready for it, so on Thursday I can send it to my cover guy and it can maybe be ready to publish this year.

This week the Promotions are 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. I can’t remember if it was on the blog that I talked about the lulu sales and how they seem kind of dumb, but I might be starting off the year with a sale of The King’s Castle.

Today for Every day is Halloween I need to make a state block for a new Monster. You will be able to get that at the Five Dollar level. Because this is the end of my long week and work really has been burning me out, this week I am thinking I am just going to do three Adventures in Music, but I might muster up something more. I would like to get three more Goblins this month. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

This week my Goals are to help my wife with her business. Get as much as I can on The Temple of Set, and get Every day is Halloween done every day.

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

How did last week go? Last was really good for getting stuff done on the Temple of Set. Still trucking along on Every day is Halloween. I don’t think I wrote as many blogs this week as I did last week. I was going to do a Thanksgiving post, but I was not feeling it.

This week the Promotion is The Temple of Golden Nut. 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 was going to have a sale on this book, but it looks like you can only have a sale when Lulu tells you, you can so we will see what happens.

Well, we are on the subject of sale Most everything on my Drivethru is 83% off. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

Now then on to this week. Even with all the other things I have to do this week, I will finish the third level of the Temple of Set by the time I go to work on Thursday.

Still, lots more Every day is Halloween to get done. I think this week when I am at work I will work on the character class I am trying to get done. You can see all the Every day is Halloween on my Patreon, There is a ton of free content. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

My friends that is it for this week. So until next time keep gaming.

Do you remember when I talked about taking over the world one game store at a time? I do, and if you don’t it’s ok I have it right here. https://theswamppit.com/2022/09/23/the-adventures-of-chantel-120-its-time-to-take-over-the-world/

I have not been doing very good at staying focused, I mean I am getting work done, on all my projects I think. But I mean if you have read Its Time to Take over the World, I talk about being happy with the job I have because it is really good for being able to write.

Well, there was a job opening at work that I would be making 105K a year. It would have been really great at helping me reach two of my goals in going to Gary Con, and being able to buy a house. But it would have been a horrible job for being able to take over the world.

I did not get said job, and I am 100% okay with that. And I think I could still make 105K a year and Take over the world. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true&view_as=public I would need to get 8,750 dollars from Patreon every month. I believe with your help I could reach that goal, and you would get amazing stuff in return.

I can’t remember if it was in the It’s Time to Take over the world post, but I know somewhere I talked about how in a podcast they talked about how if you want to open a game store you have to sell your collection. As I am working on Every Day is Halloween, I have been thinking about selling anything that is not 1e, Ravenloft, Ravnica, or Adventures in Rokugan. We will see what happens on that front.

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