This Week In Gaming August 26 2025

In my last post I said I would spend one hour a week working on Saltmarsh, and getting it ready for my game. This week every free minute I have spend trying to find a new job, even now as I write this post I am waiting for someone to answer the phone to take care of some things.

I am thinking about trying to get a game going back at the game store, and if I do that I might not do U1 to Ravenloft. I will give them the same options U1 to Ravenloft or CH1-5.

I think that is all I have for today. So until next week keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 215

This week writing has been good, I am sure I could have gotten more done if I did not have to keep stopping to apply for work.

This week the promotion is The Temple of Zeus. https://youtube.com/shorts/GlrqoCchRXs?feature=share

I have reached 0 of 6 new Goblins this month, but there is still time. There are six new characters this month that people can use for their games. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership

Alright what’s happening this week?

Wonderland: I am still working on the Illusionist. I have about 7 more spells to create for level 2.

Ozzland: I am working on the details of Night’s Edge Forest, I might be able to start working on an adventure this week.

I need to spend an hour on my book, and get some writing done on my side project.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 218

I hate when I have time to think about what I am going to write, and then I get home from spending time with my wife and ready to write and it’s all gone. Know you can say why don’t you write it down. Well I don’t always have writing tools do to that, and the notes on my phone I don’t really like.

Now the just of what I was thinking about is how I keep thinking that I am done in October. that is why When I was doing my Backerkick the end day was October, because if I did not get the money I needed then I would just shut it down. and the goal of getting 1k paying followers again if I did not reach the goal then I would just shut it down.

I have only sold two copies of Escape From Cyclops Island https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/260710/Escape-from-Cyclops-Island I only need to sell six copies for it to become a Copper Best-Seller. I was hoping that would have happened by now.

Then for some reason I keep going. trying to get those six sales and trying to promote my other adventures like Lady Fear. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5M4GjeLsxGsK7SPtnBasBr?si=zAvRBnttQQujw1QWEUCIHg

Working on new projects like Ozzland, and keep the hammer down on Wonderland.

I am working on getting two mapping programs so I can get better maps and a template so I can have better formatting in my books. I will redo the Final Dream Saga, the cover art will stay the same because I made a deal with my kid, but anything new coming out will have different art because my kid is going a different direction.

I need to redo my production list, so I can have it ready for my yearly update that is coming in about one month.

Now lets talk about my Never Ending Goals.

I think part of the reason I keep going is okay aside from this is what I want to do with my life. I have had people tell me I am half way to being a Sexy Bitch that gets to play D&D everyday. Now how to reach the other half.

There is the Patreon. I am at 0/6 New Goblins for this month. https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership There is a lot of Free content that a person could get if they want. But at the 3 dollar level I send you a thank you every month, it’s only through your support that I am able to do what I do. You also get your name in my adventures and the all the blog posts.

There is also the Drive Thru and Lulu pages. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+Jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

Alright I think that’s it for this adventure, so until next time keep gaming.

The Adventures of Chantel 217: It’s not a Law

It happened again, and I am sure it will happen more times. While I was sitting at the game store some one said it’s the law that company’s make as much money as they can. Now it gets better because this person said the way the last is written it focuses on the bonus of short term gain.

Oh man I have some bad news for you. First it’s not a Law and if it is there are a lot of companies that should be facing fines and the most. Second even if we are only talking about short term let’s say 3-6 months companies are still leaving a shit ton of money on the table and are not facing any criminal charges for breaking the law.

Now because it was at a game store and they were talking about Wizbro’s we will start there. Now if Wizbro’s was by law forced to make as much money as they can in a three month period, they would make sure everyone that wanted a Sonic Secret Lair got one. The system they have now is like a bidding war just to be able to get one, and it’s not a guarantee that you will get one, which means Wizbro’s is losing money. Plus they are not reprinting Secret Lair cards to normal cards anymore so if you miss out on Sonic Wizbro’s has missed out on money.

Now let’s talk about some other things. Target in February reported that they had lost 15 billion dollars after deciding that they were no longer going to focus on DEI. So even before their three months period was up, they had already lost 15 billion dollars. What happen to the CEO for losing all that money. He was issued a pay cut, and Target started looking for a new CEO. But what about the Law? Nothing..

You would think in America where the only thing that matters is the Almighty Dollar there would be more done to enforce this law that says you have to make as much money.

Now I know that even though Monopolies are illegal there are still some, but in a world where you have to make as much money as you can there should not be a lot of game companies like Pazio or Troll Lord Games, or The Swamp. There would just be Wizbro’s because they would have to buy any company that took away money from them.

It’s the same for Victoria Secret they would be forced to buy Torrid and Adore Me, and all the little boutiques.

Alright I think that’s it for now, so until the next time we have to talk about this subject keep gaming.

This Gamer’s Goals 214

This week as been okay for writing, I have gotten a good amount done. There is still a lot to do.

This week the promotion is The King’s Castle OSRIC version: https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/348661/Adventure-Mod-CH1-The-Kings-Castle?affiliate_id=1559598.

We have reached 0/6 new Goblins this week https://www.patreon.com/c/u14964776/membership.

What’s happening this week?

I have more work to get done on the classes of Wonderland. I would like to get 5 classes done this week.

I will get another section written on Ozzland.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 216 What a year

I should be writing reading my BlueHolmes Rule book so I can get back to working on Wonderland or working on character sheets and Magic items for next months Adventures in Music or working on Ozzland. But here I am writing a blog about how not very many things have worked out this year.

Now for those of you that ready my blog every Sunday you know I have said at least twice that this year has been a year.

At some point last year I started looking in to go to some events like farmers markets and stuff and setting up shop there. Well it didn’t take long for that to work out.

I was able to go to Rage Con this year. I am happy about that I was able to take a flyer to Game Kasl, I don’t this that spelling is right, but I know they don’t spell Castle the normal way. They only allow flyer’s to be up for one week. I think I am going to have to start sending them a flyer every week.

I do with I could have done more while I was there. But maybe next year will be a better year at Rage con.

It’s almost time for VGHC. https://tabletop.events/conventions/virtual-greyhawk-con-2025. all my games have been approved. and I am looking forward to showing off CH 1 The King’s Castle and CH 2 The Temple of Zeus.

I still need to go and buy my ticket to Timp con. It’s two days of Gaming so I have not come up with a plan yet on what I am going to run.

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

This Week in Gaming Aug 12 2025

It’s once again time to talk about getting ready for the U1 to Ravenloft game that I am going to do with my kids. Side Note my son who wanted to do this game doesn’t want to do it anymore, so we will see what happens.

Last week we made characters for my oldest kid and her boyfriend. They are both playing half-elfs.

She wanted to play a Thief, she thought about playing a Paladin, but if she did that her boyfriend wouldn’t be able to play an Assassin.

We have a montely crew here a Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User, a Fighter/Thief, a Thief, and an Assassin.

Two more things. I need to get some supplies for a business trip in October and need to order them from the UK, and could use your help if you want to buy my products that would be great. https://tabletop.events/conventions/virtual-greyhawk-con-2025

Second, if you want to help Chantel be a sexy bitch that gets to play D&D everyday check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

This Gamer’s Goals 213

This past week has been kind of slow when it comes to the writing.

This week the promotion is The Sword of Laban, a 5e 1st level adventure. https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/336768/The-Sword-of-Laban?affiliate_id=1559598

This week the Goal for amount of new Goblins to the Army is six. https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

What’s happening this week at The Swamp?

Well aside form all the stuff I have to get a new job. I hope to finish the Blueholme rules and get back to writing Wonderland.

I also will start working on Next months Adventures in Music and get some work done on Ozzland.

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

The Adventures of Chantel 215: What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

Today’s blog post come care of WordPress. I have spent most of the day thinking about if I was going to write a post today, and then I remembered I saw this question and need to write a post.

I hope more people come to the hobby. There are two things I want to come out of this blog and they are both kind of big.

The first is that The Gamer A Day is a tool to help Chantel become the sexy bitch that gets to play D&D everyday. There is the game store here on this site.

The Drivethru store: https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Chantel+jones&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

And the Patreon: where you can become an Goblin in my Army, or even get a copy of Lady Fear a 5e adventure: https://www.patreon.com/c/user/membership?u=14964776

The second thing is, I wish there would be No More Turning Away. Even more today then ever before. I use to think maybe the games would be the ones to figure it out, but that was just a dream. Any way I try not to “Just Stand and Stare” but I hope I can convince you to do the say.

Alright I think that’s it for today, so Until next time keep gaming.
