This Week in Gaming 1/6/22

W

Here we are in a new year, and with that comes 31 days of Character Creation. I love doing this. It was easier last year because I did not have a job, but I would kind of rather have a job. Also last year my Twitter friend @GMJolly did it. It year I see that my friend at Otherside publishing is doing it.

you can find my characters on my patreon, they are all free to the public. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

You can find the ones for The Otherside publishing here. https://theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2022/01/character-creation-challenge-lucy.html?fbclid=IwAR3HlOytvF2UkH94FVOWRW-AoEC6jikMmNKTRhZrPTXGfDWvf-dsqDzuTI8

I am getting things ready to run two Ravnica games, I am going to be running one for my patrons and another one at a local game store.

I have been working a little on the Temple of Set, between work and not feeling well I have not been doing much other than the character creation.

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

Happy New Year, I think that might be the last time I have to say that. Okay maybe at work on Tuesday.

I think that instead of doing a blog on Saturday, we are just going to be accountable at the start of this blog. So how did last week go? The goals were to finish Level 2 of The Temple of Set. That is done, I was a little worried that I was not going to get it done because I did not even start working on it until Friday.

That second goal last week was to work on the Ravnica adventure. I was able to get one thing done. I was thinking about starting a game at one of the stores here, so I need to get on that.

Alright, then what are the goals for this week?

This week I am promoting The Temple of Golden Nuts. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch3-the-temple-of-golden-nuts/paperback/product-k4zrgv.html?page=1&pageSize=4

I need to get 10 goblins this month, I have free content coming out everyday this month with the 31 days of character creation. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

It’s only been two days and I am already starting to wonder why I am doing the 31 days of character creation, so that is one of the goals to make sure I am doing it everyday.

I am so close and yet so far away from being done with the Temple of Set, so that is one the list of goals this week. To work on it everyday.

Wonderland, It’s the week I work on that. I have to work this Friday so I am not sure I am going to be able to work on that map, but there are other things I can do, like work on some of the races

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

This Week in Gaming or The correct answer is what is the Bard

Alright here we go, there is not much to talk about gaming this week. I need to make my character for my play by post game, I was thinking she was going to be a bard, but she is a Paladin of conquest.

The other day one of my nerd friends ask what class the Disney Princesses would be, and I am writing a blog to answer the question, because yes the correct answer is they are all bards, but maybe some of them have a dual-class. Like Snow White, she is a Bard/Ranger

So now that I have answered that one, let’s look at the rest of them.

Cinderella: I am not really sure, she would be anything other than a bard. I guess there are some versions of her story that maybe you could say a Magic-user.

Aurora: Oh man, Aurora is my girl. She would be a Ranger, as much as I don’t like the ranger in 5e.

Ariel: She is 100% an Artificer

Belle: Maybe she took after her father and she would be an Artificer, but I really think she is a Lore Master.

Jasmine: she would be a rogue.

Pocahontas: She’s a Ranger.

Mulan: I don’t like Multi-class more than once, but some people do it, and Mulan would be the Bard/Ranger/Rogue.

Tiana: Magic-User

Rapunzel: Ranger maybe

Merida: Ranger maybe a Barbarian

Moana: Ranger.

Raya: She is a Barbarian, I mean even in the movie the other Barbarian says She can’t see us she is blinded by her rage.

There you go, something to Ponder on, and until next week Keep Gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #94: Please Stop

Now as you read this post I know some of you will think that Chantel is doing the same thing she is asking us to stop doing, and in this post maybe I am, but am really not focusing on that news of Pazio, and more about what some dumbass said.

So here it is, over the Christmas break, Paizo announced that any new adventures would not use the plot hook of Slavery. Please stop buying in the fake outrage. But what do I mean? I mean the Reason that WotC and Pazio are so loud about the changes they are making. 1 They have to be it brings them in lots of money, 2 if you want them to stop being so loud about it, stop watching all the Youtubers crying about all these changes because we all know that off-screen they are okay with it because we all know that it is not effecting my home game. 3 and this is where me writing this blog comes in, stop letting them divide us.

I was going to get the exacted words, but the post was deleted. So after rambling on this guy said that everyone that uses the OGL is racist and mad that WotC is not letting them be racists. This made me mad for two reasons. first, the article was not even about WotC, It was about Pazio and Pathfinder, and the changes came about because one of the Pazio writers was a little overzealous in his writing about how the Adventure starts with the players being slaves. and the second Pathfinder doesn’t have an OGL, so unless you are trying to point that somehow Pathfinder is better than D&D why would you even bring this up?

This crap like this that are the reason that I don’t play Pathfinder, the Game I play is already full of dicks, why would I want to play Pathfinder and have more dicks to deal with?

Now I am very while aware that there is a group of people that want to die in 1850, I won’t say any names TSR3 and the 37 people that somehow keep getting conned into giving up their money for Kickstarter that will never be fulfilled, but 40 people do not make up the entire OSR community. And I would venture to guess that not even half for that 40 are even creating anything with or without the OGL.

So again if you truly believe that if a person can do whatever they want at their gaming Table, Then stop worrying about what Wizards or Pazio is doing.

This is it The last week of the year, maybe I can make it count for something.

This week I am going to promote The Temple of Zeus. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/chantel-jones/adventure-module-ch2-the-temple-of-zeus/paperback/product-nn89nz.html?page=1&pageSize=4

I am also going to throw out the Drivethru page. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14046/Chantel-Jones?term=Chantel+jones

Alright, what are the goals this week?

The Temple of Set: I think it was started on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true That I should be able to finish this current level of the Temple of Set. So that is the goal.

This week is Ravnica week, so I need to 1 make sure I have all the booklets I need, so I can start running a game or two next year. 2 I need to get some writing done. There is a poll on Patreon that can help me with my writing. https://www.patreon.com/posts/59489610

Alright, well I need to go make a character for my play-by post game, so until next time keep gaming.

This week in Gaming 12/23/2021

Dickey Jones is the goblin seen in this picture. I have added him as an NPC in a PBP game that I am in, this is a new game. But now I need to make him a character in my game somewhere, maybe that will be my first character next month for 31 days of Character creation.

I bought the City of Greyhawk and Hollow City boxsets this week.

You can get both of them on Drivethrurpg.com, but I might get the Hollow world one, to 1 see how Drivethur does makes for things like this and 2 so I can use the maps, the water damage did not make the maps stick to themselves but they are hard to open without riping them. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17168/Hollow-World-Campaign-Setting-Basic?affiliate_id=1559598

The work on Wonderland goes on, and The Temple of Set, I should be able to finish level 2 next week.

I think that is it for this week. so until next time keep gaming.

This Gamers Goal #17

Can we be done with Christmas yet? Now I know that means after Christmas is 2022, and I don’t know if I am looking forward to that either. But on the same hand maybe we should just get it started so we can get it over with.

While since we can’t be done with Christmas, I guess this week I will be promoting The King’s Castle. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/chantel-jones/ch1-the-kings-castle/paperback/product-7dg5y4.html?page=1&pageSize=4

It would be a great Christmas if I could get two more Goblins. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

Alright, it’s a short week because of Christmas so here is what I need to do. First I need to get a lot done on The Temple of Set. Oh yeah, that means I have some monsters to write.

Wonderland. Yeah, there is this thing called wonderland and I need to work on it.

Alright, that is it for now, so until next week keep gaming.

This week in Gaming 12/16/2021

It’s been a good week mostly. I have been plugging away on the Temple of Set and will get back to that when I am done with this post.

I have been thinking that if I am going to get this done by the end of the month, I am going to have to make the next two levels really small, and I am not down for that. So it might be late, but really does it even matter?

Wonderland, I got all the Islands of the sea done, and the Mountain ranges. I think the next time I work on it it will be time for Rivers and lakes. I have decided that next year I am going to spend most of the year working on This setting.

I think that is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #93 Why do you do what you Do?

It might be a hot minute before I wear this dress at a con because there is only one con I am planning on going to next year but I thought it would be great for today’s post.

Now I don’t think I owe anyone anything, ok I owe some people some money but I don’t think they are reading this blog. But anyway I feel like that part in Spider-man into the Spider-verse where every time we meet a new Spider-man we had to do that Alright let’s do this one last time part.

So let’s do this one last time, that way when people ask why I do what I do, I can send them to this one blog post instead of me telling them to go read the blog so they can find the answers they are looking for.

The first answer can be found in the photo below.

The second answer to this question is Fuck you that’s why.

The last answer is because I dress up to work, and play. that doesn’t mean you have to dress up to play D&D or to do anything else if you don’t want to. you don’t even have to read this blog, or any blog or other thing for that matter.

But I agree with the once CEO of Shoes of Prey the board room is a great place for six-inch heels.

I think that is it for now, so until next time keep gaming.

This week I will be promoting The Final Dream Bundle. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/361392/The-Final-Dream-I-BUNDLE?affiliate_id=1559598. If I can sell three copies of this bundle, I will get enough PPP that in January I will be able to submit a deal of the Day to Drivethru.

There is also the Patreon, I still need one more goblin to reach the monthly goal, but I think this week I am going to shoot to get two. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

Alright, now the other goals for the week. There is some other business stuff that I need to get done this week so I am shooting for that.

The Temple of Set, It’s back to work tomorrow, so I need to make sure I am working on the Temple of Set on my breaks. I will see about working on the Monsters that I need to add on Thursday.

This week is Ravnica Week and I only have a few hours to work on it, before I take a trip with my family So I need to make sure I am focused.

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