This Gamers Goals #26

This week I am promoting The King’s Castle, there is a sale right now on Drivethru. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/348661/The-Kings-Castle?affiliate_id=1559598 The sale goes until the 13th.

I have one new patron this month, so there are only 9 more to go to reach this month’s goals. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

I don’t think I did very good at my goals last week, I mean I got some writing done on The Temple of Set, but my goal was to finish it.

So I am going to finish this week, the Temple of Set, when I am done with this blog I have to write one part that I have to use my computer, and then I can get the rest of it done while I am at work.

I have one more frog that I need to write up, and then I can start working on The six, so the second goal this week is to work on The Gay Frogs of Wonderland and the Six.

I have a third goal, but I am sure you don’t want to hear about me working out so I think that is it for this week. So until next keep gaming.

The Helping Hand of Doom #3

I have not listened to the normal amount of Podcasts, because they don’t heal my soul like music does, but I still listen, and this month the Helping Hand of Doom is going to Promote Some.

I am going to start with The Kevin Long Show, now I produce this show so maybe it doesn’t count, but it gives me a reason to talk about my boys Carlos and David who have both been on the show. https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/kevinlongshow

David is a writer of the Basic D&D and you can find his stuff on Drivethru. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/12971/Mothshade-Concepts?term=Moth

Carlos write 1e Greyhawk content, which is wonderful you can find his writing at https://www.caslentertainment.com/shop/dungeon-modules/3

I have just started listening to a new podcast called Wobblies and Wizards, He talks about a lot of good stuff. http://www.wobbliesandwizards.com/

Game Knight Heros is an amazing podcast that starts their story in The City of Free Port. one of the best adventures I have ever played. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/game-knight-heroes/id1552887060

I could not do a blog about promoting podcasts without telling you all about a Music adventure podcast by my buddy Jessie Jackson, called Set Lusting Bruce. https://setlustingbruce.libsyn.com/

My friends, it is time to get back to writing, so until next time keep gaming.

This Week In Gaming 3/3/22

The play by post game is going good, I seem to be trapped in a box. it’s a dirty box, and I don’t think I like it.

The online Ravnica game still has three seats open, and you can get in on it at the 20 dollar level of my patreon. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

We have only made our characters for this game. There are Two Dimir agents and an Orzhov member. This one should be fun.

The in-person Ravnica game: There is a member of the Orzhov Syndicate He is a cleric and he has a whip made of coins I love it. A member of the Golgari Swarm a Circle of Spores Druid, and a member of the Izzit League. There is going to be a 4th player, but I don’t know what they are playing yet.

This group broke my test play in 5 minutes. They charmed Krenko into turning himself in. now we are just exploring the city. I am going to start working on notes for a new adventure called a Love Story. Just doing stuff in the city will let me try a game mechanic called love stories that I have wanted to try for some time.

I am kind of interested to see how they react, to an encounter with members of their own guild.

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

The Adventures of Chantel #99

Many moons ago Bret Micheals asked for Something To Believe in. There are lots of things to believe in, but I feel that we have kind of gotten away from that, and I am not even talking about god, but if that is your thing then ok as long as you are not harming anyone.

For some, it’s John Henry, and for others, it’s a Blue Ox that likes to eat pancakes. And for others, it might be a Fighter pilot that shouts down Russian Aircraft, Their name is Ghost.

I don’t even care if it’s real or not, because if it is then that is one badass person kind of like when Snoopy took down the Red Baron. And if it’s not real then it’s still a great story to get behind like when Snoopy took down the Red Baron. But don’t come at me with how Twitter is blowing up with how fake this story is, because most of the crap on Twitter is fake.

I don’t know what happened to the days that a person could believe in a five-headed dragon or the Tooth Fairy, but part of me thinks that that is part of what is wrong with the world today that we can’t just let people be. And I hope that maybe just a little we can figure it out, and enjoy that fish story no matter how much that fish grows every time we hear the story.

Well my Friends that is all for this time, so until next time keep gaming.

O

Oh man, as I get ready for a new work week, I think I did okay with my goals last week, there is one more level of the Temple of Set, and my next project is coming along well, there are 31 days left in this quarter and I should have three products coming out.

So what about this week’s goals. There is a lot of business stuff to get done for my wife and my businesses, so I will be working on those.

I will be working on the rest of The Temple of Set I need to find the Demon door I wrote a while back or rewrite it, so I can get on with it, and then add one of my new monsters that will be coming out in the second product this quarter The Gay Frogs of Wonderland.

Alright, there you have it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

This Week In Gaming 2/23/2022

This week the highlight is that I got my games posted for Virtual Gary Con. https://tabletop.events/conventions/gary-con-xiv/schedule/my/hosting

The in-person Ravnica game has not happened yet, things keep getting in the way. But we will get this one going soon.

The patreon Ravnica game is starting tonight. There is still room to get in on this one. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

Then when that one fills up, we just start a new one. Maybe even start doing something With Wonderland.

That is it for this week. So until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 98: I hate Writing Part II (Lore)

I know that I once said don’t write a blog when you are so tired you can’t think, but that is what I am doing right now. I want to write this one now because This Week in Gaming is coming and I start work again on Thursday.

Know as I write this blog about how you don’t need lore to have a fun game, I want to say that the problem with changing lore, is going to be those people that are really into will know when something is changed and they will call you out on it.

Settings like Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and Forgotten Realms have years and Years of lore, and that is really cool. I love Ravnica and its lore, but you don’t have to know any of it to have a fun game, and even if you know all of it, you can add to it and take away from it.

I try to use lore when working with my Ravnica adventures but I am 100% okay if someone wants to kill the Living Guildpact, or I might just take from the Twitch show that killed Jace and say he is dead now. But on the same hand, I don’t really use Greyhawk or Dragonlance because I don’t know the lore, so everything I did would be this is the lore now.

I know I just said that lore can change, so think about that before you get upset about the new Dragonlance books that are coming.

The Multiverse is going to change a lot of stuff. One question I have asked in a few discord servers is who would win in a war between the Red Wizards of Thay and The Scarlet Brotherhood? While if we get a new Greyhawk book we could find out. I mean the MtG Set Adventure in Forgotten Realms had a Planeswalker from Greyhawk.

Wonderland, as I work on this setting, I don’t have a lot of lore, because I want you to make it yours, there is going to be some and I hope people like it. But I just want to have fun in Wonderland and I don’t know what that looks like for you.

Alright my friends I like that is it for today, so until next time keep gaming.

This Gamers Goals #24

Wow, so according to WordPress for 3 years now. I have only been doing blogs and trying to make the site work for me for a year.

I got all my games resigned up for Gary Con. I wasn’t going to do it because of work, but I still have 470 hours after this week so I can’t be hired until May so I said nope I am doing the con, I don’t think I will get any sales from it, but I have to try. Because as much as I like my job, it’s not what I want to do forever. Now I just need to figure out what I am going to wear.Al

This week I am promoting my Final Dream Bundle. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/361392/The-Final-Dream-I-BUNDLE?affiliate_id=1559598. On Tuesday I have going to have a deal that if you buy any one of the PoD’s in the bundle you will get the bundle free.

There is going to be a lot of content coming out on Patreon this week. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

Alright, so about this week’s goals. I need to map out the final level of The Temple of Zeus. But I need to finish some monsters for level 3, I will finish the one I need tomorrow and then finish the level and then start mapping level 4.

I also need to make sure I am promoting the Final Dream Bundle every day this week even on the days I work.

I really need to make sure I write This week in Gaming Blog on Wednesday before I go back to work.

That is it, so until next time keep gaming.

This Gamers Goals #23

How did I do on last week’s goals? I think we will call it 50/50, I did not get done with the level of The Temple of Set that I wanted to, but I have spent a day and a half working on the Ravnica adventure.

I really need to get done with the Temple of Set. I got a Facebook memory from a year ago, about working on the Basement level of this adventure. So I have been working on it for a year and I still have a level and a half to do.

This week I will be promoting 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 going to try and remember Two for Tuesday this week.

Alright so let’s get to this week’s goals. Alright with 31 days out of the way I can spend all three of my breaks at work, working on the Temple of Set, and on Saturday I can spend the whole day working on this project. I really need to get done with level three this week, I have a lot of Monsters that I am going to have to write. I really only need one of the Gay Frogs, but I figure I better write all of them at one time.

I was supposed to start my in-person Ravnica on the 13th but my wife decided that we are going to my aunt’s house for the family Super Bowl party. So I guess I get one more week to get more writing done. I need to finish the first mission in this time.

There are other things I need to do like getting my business entity renewed and set up my wife’s business and getting our taxes done.

That is it for this week, so until next time keep gaming.

The Helping Hand of Doom #2

This one is going to be short because even before my new job sucked the life out of me, I don’t really watch a lot of Twitch tv. But there are four people I try to watch and I think you would enjoy them too.

My boy Carlos is everywhere with his D&D and Greyhawk, when he is not writing his next cool adventure he is running his next cool adventure for all of us to see. https://www.twitch.tv/caslentertainment

While we are on the Subject of Greyhawk, Lord Gosumba has the most Greyhawk content with like 10 shows a week. Okay it’s not really 10 but it’s a lot and he runs the Virtual Greyhawk con every year. https://www.twitch.tv/lordgosumba

Lord Gosumba was the one that introduced me to the next two people on one of his monthly super shows. The first is Darling Creep Show. Darling does two D&D streams and a lot of other stuff like her Wednesday show to relax after a day of work. https://www.twitch.tv/darlingcreepshow. It was Darling that was the inspiration for a new Maic item on the patreon. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

The last is Littlebones https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true she also does a lot of different shows but they are all fun.

Alright, go watch some t.v. and until next time keep gaming.
