Let’s start this post with an update. I have heard back from Anchor and it seems that my problem is not a simple fix, witch maybe it’s good that it happened, and when it happens to someone else they know what to do or maybe it won’t happen to someone else because they fix the issue I found.

There might be and when I say might be more in November there will be way more what is coming for The Swamp in November. But I have been thinking about this a lot lately so I am just going to roll with it.

I really like the idea of having one project come out every quarter, I hope that will help me focus and get more stuff out, than the rate I am going now. So for the rest of this year there will be The Temple of Golden Nuts and The Temple of Set. That means Q1 of 2022 will be the last adventure in The Final Dream I will be MT. Kolob.

With doing things this way, I want to have one Ravenloft, and 9 out of 10 times the product that comes out in q3 will be something for Greyhawk con.

That being said, next year after I finish Mt Kolob, I am going to be spending a lot of time working on Wonderland

That’s it, so until next time keep gaming.

Alright this week has been a little better for some things, so maybe this next week will be good.

I hope on Tuesday the thing with Anchor and Spotify will be fixed, I heard from them on Friday, but it was right before closing, and we all know they won’t be in today and that is ok. So I am really hoping before I do This Week in Gaming it will be back to the way it was. and people can click the link right to being able to listen to the show.

The Temple of Golden Nuts: I know I have said the last three weeks that I was going to get it done, yeah for whatever reason it’s taking a min, so I think we are just going to shot for being done with it by the end of the month, and then The Temple of Set can be the project for q4 this year. but we will talk about that in November.

The Ravenloft Adventure: I got my mojo back and I have one more map that I need to get done tomorrow and then I can start writing everything. I need to get this done for the Ice and Dice con. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icedicecon/ice-and-dice-gaming-convention?fbclid=IwAR1A4MtiRuErveNa-duVsG4YJVScx3DypQpS33WcKASfRFd8L7_T6bqJch4

Bloodmoor Keep: I cancelled this project, no one was signing up for it at VGC so, I will save it for next year when I am not trying to get a project done for a con, it is important because I will be getting paid for that one.

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

Yep, I have to do another test to figure something out. but this time it’s on the podcast side.

Also I was hoping to get all my post in to Podcast form, but it is making them not in order, so I am not going to finish the ones that have not been done.

So until next time keep gaming.

That’s right Dudes it’s the 69th adventure of Chantel, and as I was opening wordpress to write this blog, I thought oh it’s suppose to be This Week in Gaming, but there is really nothing to share with you this week and what I am thinking is maybe more important than, This Week In Gaming.

It’s still a few months before November and I think about my yearly goals and maybe my five year or ten year goals, but I am always thinking about things so I can figure out what my goals are going to be.

One thing is I have a friend that puts out a new product every quarter, so for a year, and I was talking to another friend and he said that if his Kickstarter was to fund, he would be able to put out a new product every other month. I mean my production list is big enough that I could have a product every other month, but could I write and type and get art ready that fast? I like the idea of doing something every three months.

I need to find away to Promote my Pro Dm page more, so I can start getting gig’s that way. https://theswamppit.com/the-pro-dm/

I also need to figure out away to get at least to new Goblins for my patreon every month. I am kind of starting to get burned out again on that front. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true.

I was listening to The Sleep with Me podcast and the host was saying in did some research and he found that you would only get 1% of patreon from Twitter, that means I should have five right now. So I kind of wonder if that is just for podcasts.

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

It took me a minute to figure out what my goals, I still might not have three. But the two that I have are pretty good I think.

The first is to sell three copies of 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

Yes if I could sell one or two every day that would be great, but I will take three this week, and then see where we go from there.

My second goal is to get The Temple of Golden Nuts done this week. I will get some of that done when I am done here, which might be now, so until next time keep Gaming.

Remember that one time I wrote about how I know that we are never going back to Kamagawa, because that was a dark time for WotC, but if we did there would be a lot of things they could do with Dungeons and Dragons and resetting the Oriental Adventures of 1e? It’s ok if you don’t I have a link to it right here. https://agameraday.blogspot.com/2020/09/plane-chase-oriental-adventure-kamagawa.html

Well Guess what. There are reasons you never say never, and one of those reason is because in Q1 we are going back to Kamagawa. The name of the set would make one think they are now power rangers.

But some of the art makes me wonder it they are doing Shadow Run, and they are street Samurai.

Now I know just because we are getting a new Magic set in Kamagawa doesn’t mean we would get a D&D/MtG crossover, but it doesn’t change the fact that it would still be a good Idea to do so.

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

There has not been a lot going on this week at The Swamp.

The Final Dream: I know I said that typing The Temple of Golden Nuts was going to be the easiest goal to reach this week, but I don’t think I am going to make it. I will get some typing done when I get done here.

Bloodmoor Keep: The plan was to get some writing done while I was at work, but then I started learning about the company that i am working for. So I guess I will try and get some done today. I need to come up with a name for a plant that can attack the mind, and then I need to get some Psionics for this plant monster.

Ravenloft: Still have so much to do, I will get some ready done today, and tomorrow at work, I can write some more for this adventure.

Alright, until next time keep gaming.

It’s a day late but the second jab kicked my butt, so I did not do any planing or goal setting until today.

Alright the first thing is I need to finish typing The Temple of Golden nuts and have everything ready to send off to the art people. This is going to be the easiest one of them all.

I have to get working on Bloodmoor Keep and my Ravenloft adventure, I will be able to get a lot done on both of these projects this week.

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

Know I know you are thinking but Chantel you write adventure Modules and this blog that I am reading right now. And yes you are right, but if you have noticed sometimes the blogs are short, but that is not really the issue.

The things I hate are the Hey I just finished an adventure, and this is why you should buy it, or when you sign up to run your game at a con, and they want you to tell them about the adventure. I get why one needs to do it, but it sucks.

I also don’t like the writing that comes with applying for a new job, and having to update your resume for 10 years of work experience. Man 10 years that is a lot. do you know how many jobs I have worked in 10 years? Like 8.

While I should get back to working on said resume, so until next time keep gaming.

The topic came up of someone looking for a horror game system, now I love me some Ravenloft but for what ever reason I knew not to bring up Ravenloft because it felt like that was not what they were looking for, so of course the answer is CoC, but now there is also the Aliens RPG.

In this discussion some one said that 5e Ravenloft is the Disney version of the game. And this is where I get to my point. I don’t see a problem with this, I mean yeah maybe 5e is not everyone’s cup of tea, but have you seen The Nightmare Before Christmas? That movie is crazy scary.

Now I kind of what to do a Nightmare Before Christmas adventure, but back to the point maybe. I guess the point is like always you do what you want, but if you are looking for the super scary Ravenloft might not be the way to go, but it also could depend on how much you put into, so until next time keep gaming.
