I have been sitting on this idea for some time, but not sure how it would be received, but now I am just throwing it out there, I am sure someone will tell me what they think. I was helping a friend with their schooling so for like 4 months I had a life/business coach, and it was nice being accountable. I am still pushing along, but I have been thinking about doing a Sunday blog to share my goal for the week and be more accountable.

I am almost done with this week but the goals were to make 10 dollars I know that’s not a lot, but whatever and to make sure I get magic cards on to the the game store 3 out of 5 days. I have achieved both goals.

The goal that I failed at was getting level three of the Temple of Golden Nuts done, I have not done a lot of writing at all this week, and today is the last day I can do that until the con is over.

The Final Dream: I have about 20 rooms left to write for the Temple of Golden Nuts, I might get some more done today, but I am not counting on it.

All the other projects I am looking at, I have not even thought about them this week. I think that is all for this week so until next time keep gaming.

I have been waiting all day to write this post, and I am glad that VGC was able to approve my events so I could do so.

This weekend is Salt con End of Summer if you live in Utah I think there are still some one day passes for Sunday still for sale. https://tabletop.events/conventions/saltcon-end-of-summer-2021

I was happy to find out that there will also be in-person sign-ups so there might still people that come to my The King’s Castle and The Temple of Zeus games.

There is one more Local con But it doesn’t look like that have posted anything to Tabletop Events or Warhorn so I have not signed up for it yet.

All my events for VGC 2022 have been approved

Event #96 Mt. Kolob Event #97 The King’s Castle Event #98 The Temple of Golden Nuts Event #99 The Temple of Set Event #100 The Temple of Zeus. I am really glad that Gary con is keeping a virtual aspect to the con.

I think that is all for today, so until next time keep gaming.

Let’s get this started today we will look at adventures from 2nd to 5th editions, we are going to change things up a little for the first blog and you will see soon.

I said that we would get two adventures from each edition, but I don’t know what we would get from 4e because I don’t think there many adventures that were that good, so we are going to do three four 2e

The Eye of Pain, The Eye of Doom, and Eye to Eye. Nothing said D&D like the Beholder, and so if I was in charge of picking what we got for 50 years of D&D this would be my 2e picks.

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17329/Eye-of-Pain-2e?affiliate_id=1559598

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17332/Eye-of-Doom-2e?affiliate_id=1559598

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17336/Eye-to-Eye-2e?affiliate_id=1559598

I Think the picks for 3e are really good, I am starting with The Sunless Citadel. This is the only published 3e adventure I ran, but it was super fun. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3727/The-Sunless-Citadel-3e?affiliate_id=1559598

My second Pick for 3e is probability the pest adventure not named Freeport or Ptlous. And it is The Red Hand of Doom. Oh man I had so many characters die in this adventure. And it might be my all-time favorite adventure. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/28797/Red-Hand-of-Doom-3e?affiliate_id=1559598

The only adventure that If feel could be good enough for a 50 year reprint and update to 5e would be. Madness at Gardmore Abbey. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/153648/Madness-at-Gardmore-Abbey-4e?affiliate_id=1559598

I am not sure what I would pick for 5e, so far all the adventures I have seen by WotC have been weak. I mean they could redo the Temple of Elemental Evil want to be adventure so right now I don’t have any picks for 5e. Which brings us to the point where I say until next time keep gaming.

First I am so excited, this is the 600th blog post and I hope it’s a good one.

Alright here is the set up. The other day my friend posted a video about stuff. https://www.ppmgames.co.uk/2021/07/21/designer-diary-end-of-5e/?fbclid=IwAR1IdeC8ZK73NCYOuaeMXCALAnYKK3Uw-6gueCKK6Ft7Pq-tXIfgwlx5QBQ I shared. this on my facebook page because that is what I do, and then a talk broke out about the end of 5e. Now I have talked about this on the blog be for in a two part post. https://agameraday.blogspot.com/2021/02/wizards-first.html and https://agameraday.blogspot.com/2021/02/wizards-part-two-or-what-are-we-to-do.html.

New this blog is not really about the end of 5e which is not coming for some time, that being said in the discussion that game about on my facebook page, there was this. I  fully expect a 50th anniversary slew of products. Mostly retro. But I am not expecting a 6th edition announcement or release then. So today my thoughts are about what we could get with 50 years of D&D or what comes in the D&D Gold box set?

Side note, it would be nice if we got the gold box computer games remastered.

Now before we get in to adventures on their own I would be happy if WotC took all the Giant adventures from each editions. Also if they did all the different Tombs of Horror.

Alright now that we have the two big things out of the way, I have this idea that we would get two adventures for each edition. Now for my first picks I know that they come from basic, but it will be updated to 5e so I don’t really care.

So for my first 1e pick it would either be B1. This is my favorite adventure and I know why you not B2. First everyone talks about that one so let’s do something different and Goodman games already updated B2. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17081/B1-In-Search-of-the-Unknown-Basic?affiliate_id=1559598

It should not be a surprise to anyone that my second pick for the 1e part of this blog is going to be I6 Ravenloft. Now I know some of you are thinking why do we need more Ravenloft? are sick of Ravenloft. And yeah maybe, but this is not coming out for 3 more years so we will be over Ravenloft before we get to this part. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17527/I6-Ravenloft-1e?affiliate_id=1559598

I think we are going to make this blog more than one part, so until next time or tomorrow keep gaming.

First I want to start by saying, Christmas in July is finally here, and Chantel’s Museum of Natural History is now only .75 cents. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/266211/Chantels-Museum-of-Natural-History?affiliate_id=1559598

The Final Dream: It’s slow but It is getting there, I am thinking soon there will be a night I stay up late and get a lot of the Temple of Golden Nuts done.

Wonderland: This week there is more work to be done on the Frozen North. I need to write some stuff for the White Queen, but that means I would have to sit down and thing about it. That might be the goal for this week, get the White Queen figured out.

Bloodmoor Keep: Today is the day I work on Bloodmoor Keep, I just get on that.

Ravenloft: I have the domain mapped out for the Ice and Dice adventure I am working on.

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

I have this plan that I am going to build a Ravnica cube and I will use it for coming up with ideas for writing Ravnca adventures. I was thinking about maybe doing that with the New Adventures in Forgotten Realms. But I am only building one deck for that set, and I don’t really want to write an adventure in Forgotten Realms. So I guess we will see what happens.

So far this week I am 100% at getting things on the Game Store page, that makes me fell good. I am almost out of stuff to put on that page.

The Final Dream I: I got an email from Lulu, my proof copy is finally on it’s way, so maybe by the end of the week, The Temple of Zeus can be back up on Lulu.

I have finished the second level of The Temple of Golden Nuts. I should be able to get the map done today of level three. I don’t have any big plans for this level, so we will see what happens. I do need to remember to put a Ring of Fire Resistance some where on this level.

Wonderland: This week for Wonderland World-Building there will be more stuff in the Frozen North. I need to add the Frozen lake and the Shrine of Alice.

Bloodmore Keep: It’s Thursday, that means most of the day will be spent reading the Scarlet Brother Hood and drawing a map for the keep.

Ravenloft: By the end of this week I need to figure out my adventure for Ice and Dice, so I can know how many pieces of art I am going to need and can let the artist know.

It’s 4:39 am where I am, and that is way to early for me to be awake so until next time keep gaming.

I was not planing on writing a blog on this topic, if you can even call it a topic. I had an interview the other day and of course the where do you see yourself question comes up. I also wasn’t planing on writing a blog about the Future of The Swamp so soon, for what ever reason my year goes from November to October.

I use to have an answer, or maybe I cared more about making it sound good. When I worked at Nu Skin the plan was to be the first female CEO, so where would I be, would be closer to that goal. The problem with this was everyone above me was not going anywhere.

When I worked at Vivint Smart Home, but I was not going to make it at that job. I have way better things to waste my time on.

So when it comes to working for someone else where do I see myself in 5 years, I don’t know let’s get through today and see what tomorrow brings. right now I just want to have a job, ” I got bills to pay and mouths to feed.”

So what about The Swamp, where is it going to be in five years? Ah yes a question I know the answer too. First I am changing the goal for this year. The Final Dream I will be done. However Wonderland is really big and I have a lot of other things going on, so I am putting wonderland somewhere between the 3 and 5 year goal. I think this is where I am going to make you wait to know the rest. So until next time keep gaming.

When I came up with this idea I wanted to call it Ho, Ho, Ho something bad, but then I thought people don’t always like being called nerds so they might not like what I was going to call them. Then I thought I would just put it here, and that won’t work because now my blogs come in podcast format, and if your podcast has bad words some countries would allow it to be played. So shot.

I don’t know what people are going to do the Christmas in July sale that should be coming soon, but I want to share some of the places I will be looking for, and you can check them out. I heard once that you can follow people, but I have not tried it maybe you can and then you will get an email about the sales I don’t know.

There was one person I asked if they were going to do the sale, and I did not get an answer. Most of the time when I do these things I am going to just shout out to the little dudes, but I really like the Frogs so I will shout out the Frog Gods. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/262176/Tome-of-Horrors-5e?affiliate_id=1559598

The next one is great because he is not doing The Drivethrurpg Christmas in July, but when I asked for a link to the drivethru page, Elf Lair Games decided that all PDF’s were going to be 30% until the end of July. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/308014/Night-Shift-Veterans-of-the-Supernatural-Wars?affiliate_id=1559598

Looking at the Muse by Basic Witch Games I can’t tell if they changed the price, or if there is already a sale but The Muse is a good item and even if they don’t do a Christmas in July I think you should check it out. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/330852/BaF–The-Muse?affiliate_id=1559598

PPM Games. This mate of mine does solo games. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/357041/Dungeon-Crawl-Solo

There were two more that I wanted to add, but one I can’t find the link, and the other one the link is not working. So until next time keep gaming and keep an eye out for Santa.

Man the weeks seem to be going buy fast, I mean yesterday I did two for Tuesday and here it is time for another this week in gaming.

I have not posted in that group I was part of, for some time so I think next week I will be going back to Thursdays as my weekly post day.

The Final Dream: Since last week the writing has been good, but today I only got one thing done. I am going to push to get level two done this week. I ordered the proof copy of The Temple of Zeus with the map of the under city in it, so I will be able to get that back to market.

Bloodmore Keep: The new Virtual Greyhawk con adventure. It’s the new thing I work on, on Thursdays. Tomorrow I will get some more reading done on the Scarlet Brother hood, and will start mapping out the keep.

Wonderland: This week I will get more done on the Frozen North, the three tribes that roam. And maybe the Shrine of Alice.

Ravenloft: I am almost done ready the setting book.

There it is one more week in the books so until next time keep gaming.

The title can be a little miss leading, I mean I always want to know what you want from me, but It’s more about the question I want to answer, and when I was working on schooling I found a way to use a Pink Floyd song in every paper and this felt like a good time to drop this one. https://open.spotify.com/track/44rQQujhahuq2cEGl2fiDT?si=a435a286da3441c5

So now let’s get on with it. The other day I was on twitter cause that’s what you do, and someone asked Ok TTRPG creators what do you want out of this? Now I know better then to answer some things on Twitter because the Asshats are waiting, and this is kind a longer answer then the amount of characters you are allowed on a tweet.

Now there is the Fortune and Fame, and Glory, oh look I did the Pink Floyd thing again, but any way I don’t think I will get to that level, if I do that is cool.

I link maybe I should lay it out from least to greatest, so here we go, the first thing I want to come out of my creating is that I want to be able to buy the things I need, rather that be cloths for everyday, con stuff or the books I need to write more. I was happy that because of Drivethru and Patreon I have enough money that I can buy the new Ravenloft book. When I am not putting gas in the car. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14046/Chantel-Jones

The next thing is, I got tired of working for other people along time ago, and as I get older that only gets worse. And this is were the patreon comes in. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true When I am able to reach the 2,000 dollar goal I can take care of the things I need to take care of with out working. Some one once said “you need to dream bigger.” Oh don’t worry after I reach that goal I will come up with more, like the 2,465 dollar goal that way I can get an office, but the more I think about that I don’t need 465 dollars because when the kids are at school I can work from home.

The last thing is to take over the world one game store at a time. This is a two fold thing. I want to get my writings in every game store That I can. I am working on some things for that and will be 100% ready to launch those when I am done with the Temple of Golden Nuts. The second fold is that I want have my own games stores.

I think the time has come, the blog is over, the only thing I have left to say is, until next time keep gaming.
