The Adventures of Chantel 84: settings and other things.

I have been trying to write this blog since I got home from work at 3:30 and it’s now 5:04 and this is all I have written.

I got an update from Anchor the other day, it was nothing more than hey we are still working on it, so I emailed them back and said that’s great but you have been working on it for two months so we need to know when it’s going to be fixed. They have no idea because they are still investigating it.

The Question of the Day is what is the best setting in each edition, that was the question, and since I am a D&D nerd those are the editions we are going to worry about, and I am 100% that is what they are talking about too.

The Easy answer is Ravenloft.

The hard answer is, I like Ravenloft and Ravnica. But I have been playing for a long time and have not really thought about it. I mean when I started playing my DM never said this adventure takes place in FR or Greyhawk or whatever. And I guess When we played the Red hand of Doom it didn’t matter, I don’t know.

I guess for me another answer would be any setting that is not Forgotten Realms. Even though I said there is other stuff, I think I will save that for tomorrow. So until next time keep gaming.

This week I am going to promote the Hell out of the Final Dream bundle. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/361392/The-Final-Dream-I-BUNDLE?affiliate_id=1559598. My proof copy of The Temple of Golden Nuts should come this week and then I can add it to the bundle.

Today I got my Production schedule done for next year. I wrote it as a patreon post. I made it public so you can read about it here. https://www.patreon.com/posts/production-for-58423614. One of the goals for this week is to get to new Goblins, I think I am just going to invite two people I know to join. That being said if you are reading this you are more than welcome to join and come be a Goblin in the Army and I take over the World one game store at a time.

The next goal is to write on the Chaos project every day this week. Last Friday I did not work on it, because by the time I got home from work I was dead and did not do anything. But I really need to make sure I am working on it all the time, so I can get it done and move on to the next thing. The guy that asked me to write this, really like the cover for it and asked me to make the two girls on the cover some NPC’s in the game, so I need to go do that.

The last goal you would be simple, but it has been like a month since I got it, but I need to Finish reading Magic and Shit by Planet X games.

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

This week in Gaming 11/4/2021

It’s been a good week I think. I got The Temple of Golden Nuts Published and the Proof copy is on its way. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/376104/CH-3-The-Temple-of-Golden-Nuts?affiliate_id=1559598

I have been getting some good writing done on Chaos. I got the art today, and it looks amazing, I am so excited to show you all, but that is not going to be today. I wish there were more maps so I could do a daily post on Patreon, but maybe I should do a weekly post about this adventure. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

While we are on the subject of Patreon, I am looking/shooting to gain four Goblins this month. I feel that is a good reasonable goal.

Alright nerds that’s it, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #83

It’s been a very busy day here at The Swamp, and there is still more to go.

I got the Patreon done, the monthly update and the PDF for The Temple of Golden Nuts up. There is still time to get the PoD of The Temple before everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

I also got the PDF of The Temple of Golden Nuts up on Drivethru. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/376104/CH-3-The-Temple-of-Golden-Nuts?affiliate_id=1559598

Now it’s time to work on Choas 100%. and until next time keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 12

Alright, here we go. This week I will be promoting the hell out of The Temple of Golden Nuts. I would share a link with you but I don’t have one yet. That is the first thing on the list to get done tomorrow.

It’s been a tough week, I have thought a lot about calling it quits, I have not sold anything for two months and the patreon is losing more people than I am getting. But I don’t like the sound of not doing what I want to, so we will keep going.

Alright so here are the goals for this week. I only have two, but I will be thinking a lot about what I am going to be planing for next year, because that is what I do in November.

The First goal is to get The Temple of Golden Nuts on Drivethru and then set it up on Lulu so I can order the Proof copy, and the one copy I need for my Patreon. You can get copies of the adventures I write early too. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

The Second-Goal is to work on Chaos every day this week. I have things to do on Thursday, but I should still be able to get some done. And Friday is my little girls birthday so we will see what happens then.

That is it my friends so until next time keep gaming.

Maybe today when I am done with this blog I will remember to post on IG that there is a new blog post up.

I got an email from Anchor the other day, they are still working on the issue. I kind of wanted to reply with that’s great but I am trying to run a business so maybe don’t waste my time with a we are working on it, because I know what that means.

I got some good writing done on Chaos today, it was nice, because as I was finishing the Temple of Golden Nuts. I could not think about anything and it felt like I was forcing it, but now that it is the only project I am working on it’s all coming together.

I am using the old and new Ravenloft feel to write this so I hope it turns out the way I want it to.

well, I need to get ready for the Gym so, I think this is the part where I say until next time keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals #11

Here we are, time for an other week to start are you ready? It’s okay, I don’t think I am either.

The art for The Temple of Golden Nuts is at the Cover guy. I want to get it out this week. Then I have to order one copy of the book to send to a patreon.

I need to work on Chaos everyday this week after work. I need to get the Dark Lord done and start writing about the Domain of Treasure Hunt.

The last goal is not really about the business but I guess being healthy is making show I can run the business, so I need to work out everyday this week.

I am still trying to reach my Monthly goal of Three goblins this month. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

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

This Week in Gaming 10/21/2021

I have gained a level since last weeks blog. I got some new pink and purple dice, it’s funny that there is more pink, because the dice are called purple whirlwind. I also got a Young Blue Dragon mini.

I got three games of Magic in. One game was a 60 card game, I won that one, the dude could not stop the flying. The next two games were Commander. I could not get anything going in the first game. In the second game I was able to do every thing I needed with only three lands.

I was able to get more cards for my 99 lands commander deck, but the commander I need for it tripled in price in only two weeks.

I have found a commander deck that has no lands in it. That I will get after I am done with my lands deck.

I got everything done for The Temple of Golden Nuts, so in the morning I will send the art to the cover guy, and we should be able to get it out to Drivethru on Monday. In the mean time I will start working on Chaos.

I dropped out of my play by post game, but I might be starting a new game next week. The other game, things keep happening on game days, like this week I have to take the kids to the Trunk or Treat, and that is right during game time. So I won’t be able to play until November.

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

This Gamer’s Goals #10

The first goal this week really depends on my art people, but I want to get The Temple of Golden Nuts out on Wednesday the 20th, that’s my Birthday. If this is going to happen I will need to color like there is no tomorrow so I can get it off to my cover guy on Tuesday.

I should have started with what book I am promoting this week, but I guess at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. So this week it will be The King’s Castle again. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/chantel-jones/ch1-the-kings-castle/paperback/product-7dg5y4.html?page=1&pageSize=4

The second goal is a dollar goal. I would like to make 100 dollars this week. That would be selling 5 copies of The King’s Castle so I think I can do that.

My third goal is not related to the company so I will skip that one.

Alright my friends until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #81 Magic is still King.

I mean think about it even with D&D have two monster years there are more MtG setting books for D&D, then there are D&D things for Magic. and Yeah I am counting the Commander sets that are coming out next year. The reason? because the D&D nerds are already playing make but are the Magic nerds playing D&D? maybe that could be why we are getting magic settings in our D&D, but I think it’s more because maybe if we give them a Ravnica setting they will come play D&D and we can get them to pay twice, or three times if they get the books and them get them again on D&D beyond.

Today was Free RPG day, and only two store in Utah took part in it. Because it cost money to order the stuff, and that’s cool and I get that, but those stores that did not want to pay for it, have already spent of Magic cards that they may never see because they are on a boat somewhere. So again we know we are going to make our money on those magic cards but paying to give away stuff we can’t do.

And this is the thing that bugs me the most, even if you don’t get the packet of RPG stuff, why not do a sale or something to to promote Role playing like D&D? like hey come play this adventure and we will give you 10% off. Or better yet why not work with local creators to promote them. I mean after all Local art is not stuck on boats right now.

The Answer they are not making money. And that is why I am 100% happy that the White gift set for the rules expansion can only be bought In game stores and I wish we would make a push to get everything back in the game store, then they would be more willing to spend the money to have Free RPG day in their store.
