This week in Gaming 5/5/2021

I am thinking about starting to do my weekly blog on Wednesday because I am in this group that does Promo days on Wednesday and Sunday, and on The Sunday I try to either the Drivethru or the Patreon. Plus since coming to WordPress This week in Gaming doesn’t seem to be doing as good as it was on the Blogspot.

So this week, I finished typing the second level of The Temple of Zeus and maybe I will get to level 3 today, I am kind of not feeling it today. I created a new monster for the Temple of Set.

I got my events submitted for Saltcon end of summer a local con in Utah, and people are so ready to game again that the only game I am able to run of the first day is the AL game that I was assigned. But was still able to get some of my games in plus I am going to run 8 hours of B2. That should be fun.

I should start working on the notes for that, with all the other things that I am doing. like coming up with ideas for two new adventures. One is going to be a Greek adventure.

I think that is it for this week, so until next time Keep Gaming.

The Adventure 45

I had this idea that I was going to write a blog about cons as part of this article. https://www.themarysue.com/wtf-is-happening-with-cons-reedpop/?fbclid=IwAR0qIb0MPEzI54lFzgz_hMM14BRNXUy_5GqLysVSfcocALhY7SGHpkC8k1k. But in talking with some people even ones that my thoughts would effect, no one wants to Hear, what I have to say so I will just talk about other things.

Well we are on the subject of cons, the next one I will be doing is North Texas RPG virtual https://tabletop.events/conventions/ntrpgcon-2021v-virtual-/schedule#?query=Chantel. I think I am going to wear my snakeskin outfits that I was going to wear at Garycon before covid.

Then the local con at the end of July start of August. I am excited for that one. I have not heard anything about the one that is by my house during my birthday weekend, but I am still hoping that it happens.

Got my monthly Patreon post done. I am hoping to get 4 goblins to the ranks this month. https://www.patreon.com/posts/may-2021-50767241.

And I have a sells goal of 100 dollars this month. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14046/Chantel-Jones?term=Chantel+Jones.

I think that is it for this adventure, so until next time Keep Gaming.

This Week in Gaming 4/29/2021

Here we are another week has come and gone. I got a new adventure out. and am working on adding more pre-gens to it so I can get it out on PoD. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/355163/Castle-Roan?src=hottest_filtered

I just got done making cave people characters for a DCC game that I am going to be playing in. It kind of makes me wonder though I have not seen many level 1 adventures for the cave people, so maybe I just add that to my list of things to do.

I keep thinking I should share my production list with you guys, I have shared it on the patreon. Speaking of the Patreon, I have two new characters for the Pre-gens for Castle Roan. https://www.patreon.com/posts/two-for-one-50634031

The Final Dream: When I am done with this blog I am going to get back to typing the Temple of Zeus, I took a day off yesterday. Being down one computer while the kids are getting their school work done, I am getting the second level of the temple of Set done.

Wonderland: I had this plan that I was going to go to the Game store today, and get a lot of mapping done, but even the best laid plans of mice and women. So I will be doing that next week. I have been adding names to the city list, and got some stuff done for the four queens.

I think that is it for now, so until next time Keep Gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #44

I just got done posting to The Game Store and thought I should write a blog, because that is where I get all the Traffic to the website. And I need to be building traffic. So here we are.

My computer broke yesterday, so now I have to share with my wife until I can get a new one. We will still get everything out, it might just be extra slow. when I am done with this blog I need to go add my character to patreon for the day. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true

I know that This Week in Gaming is coming tomorrow, but I released a new adventure this week. R1 Castle Roan. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/355163/Castle-Roan?src=hottest_filtered. I like this one, it was the first adventure I played when I got in to D&D

I think that is it for today, so until next time Keep Gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #43

I think the internet went out the other day when I was typing this week in gaming and you missed out on a lot of stuff like what was going on with the site, and now it’s all done. I got the About page done. I might add a little more later. I added The Kevin Long Show, that if for a Podcast that I am working with, so they will post podcast and video’s there. And I need to get the Pro DM filled in so people can hire me to be their DM.

Reaver Con was good, I had so much fun in the funnel that I played in. I had never played the Portal Under the stars. I missed the panel that I was going to do, but that’s ok I was working on some Wonderland stuff.

I have so much to do today, but it is all talking a lot of energy to get done, I should just take a nap and then work on stuff, but that is not how it’s going. The upstairs people don’t like Loud Music Hour at 3 in the afternoon on Saturday but some how their kid making noise is ok at 6:30 in the morning. so yeah I am just a little tired, but we will get this done.

Well working on The Temple of Zeus and Wonderland I am also on Twitter promoting the patreon. There is still 6 days left of the month and that seems like a good amount of time to get bonus goblins for the month. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true I also need to go get the stuff ready that is going up on the Game store today.

Until next time Keep Gaming.

This Week in Gaming 4/22/2021

Today I want to start with I don’t think I am going to get my Saga Deck or my Dwarf deck done. Arena just isn’t funny anymore and I have a lot of stuff to get done, if I am to reach my goal of taking over the world one game store at a time.

Reaver con is this weekend, I think I said I was doing one funnel on Friday, and then a how to build monsters panel on Saturday at least I think it is about building monsters, if it’s not that is ok.

The Adventures of Chantel #42

I might have been planning to write a blog today, but I was hoping it would be latter in the evening. But both the the things I am working on today are kind of on hold. So why not do it now.

the website is coming alone, one of the two projects I am working on is to get 9 items up each day between the two stores. But I take photos on my tablet and then email them to myself and for some reason that doesn’t always work out. I should maybe look in to the app.

The reason I wanted to wait until I was done working to do the blog, is on todays list of The Temple of Zeus to take the 1e version of the Hero Jason and convert him to the OSRIC, and that means sharing him and the Artifact he as with the my goblins on Patreon, and then I would share a link to that here.

I am not able to finish this yet, because in the OSRIC system book, it says that Paladins and Rangers get zero-level spells, but I don’t see anywhere in the book a list of spells. Now Jason is not a Paladin, but he is a Ranger, and maybe like my last character that I converted I don’t need zero-level spells, but this is the second time it has come up so I kind of want to know.

I just got a new Goblin on the patreon, so I have reached all my goals for this month. you can find it here. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true.

I think that is it for this adventure, I need to get more stuff done. So until next time Keep Gaming.

Super Beat Down Sunday 4/18/2021

I logged in to Arena today, and the system was down so they could work on it, that’s a new one. But there are still things I can talk about, because I played some in person games on Thursday.

Before we get in to that thought, I have gotten 4 packs of the new set, and I have to say I am not impressed with the art work. I am not really shocked by that, the last full set with good art was Kaldheim. and the art over all at WoTC has been lacking for a very long time.

Alright on Thursday I played for games, and the only game I lost was the one in which I used my Gruul Deck. I don’t play it a lot to win, in fact it has only won twice, but it’s a fun deck, even before you get it to the game, people don’t like it because it has 150 cards in it. I need to get look at getting more cards that are red and Green.

I think that is it for now, I am hoping next week I will have an update on the Ravnica Cube, so until than Keep Gaming.

This Week In Gaming 4/15/2021

I have started the second and final draft of The Temple of Zeus, and in the process got a new NPC and Magic Item up on the Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14964776&fan_landing=true.

I got all my events approved for North Texas RPG con, https://tabletop.events/conventions/ntrpgcon-2021v-virtual-/schedule#?query=chantel it’s only over the VTT, but I have wanted to go to this con for some time.

The Final Dream: Aside from getting The Temple of Zeus typed up, and out, I have started working on third level, so far there are a lot of Mummies. I am trying to decided if I want one of my monsters On every level, I need to read back on level one and see if I put it there, I remember writing it, but that might have been the other draft I wrote. I know I did not put it in the basement level, and that is ok.

Looking through the OSRIC book, there is nothing for the Death Knight or the Slaad, so I will need to make my own, and that is ok. I am not sure about the Death Knight but I have started working on the slaad, you can see the Glass Frog on the Patreon.

Wonderland: I am not getting a lot done on this project, and that bugs me. I am going to set Friday’s and Tuesday’s for More Wonderland.

Alright, I think that is it for this week, so until next time Keep Gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel #41 Or The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Women

I had this plan today that I was going to get up, dress up and show up, while I got up and that is where the plans ended. I have not felt well all day. So the things I wanted to talk about are not as thought out as I want to be, but I don’t what to forget about them. So maybe I will lay them out here and then come back to them later.

One thing I did was submit all my games for North Texas RPG Con. Right now they have only approved my Thor’s Day games. https://tabletop.events/conventions/ntrpgcon-2021v-virtual-/schedule/my/hosting

The other thing I did was add some things to The Yard Sale, and I might add a few more when I am done with the post and promoting it. And maybe some stuff on on The Game Store.

So first last night I was talking to someone, and they were talking about how he is kind of torn because some times he doesn’t invite people to his gaming table because they would not be a good fit. I reminded him, and now I will remind you all that, making sure everyone is included doesn’t mean at your table, it means that they game is a safe place for them to be. but if you are not included people at your table think about why. But again not everyone is going to be a good fit.

The guys that I play Magic with, are Not a fight for my table, because they are all right wing nut cases. and some day I will be able to find a new group to play Magic with.

The other thing we talked about what teaching people how to play D&D, and that got me thinking about doing a DM boot camp. I have thought about it before, but I always go back to one it’s not hard and two it’s an easy thing to pick up, but maybe I will think about it because I need dollars or a job.

While I think it might be bed time, so until next time Keep Gaming.
