Where have I been for the past ten months? Well, right here actually! Literally staring at my computer the day all of my information went out the window. Every time I sat down to overcome my fear of technology I was quickly subdued. It was too much so I kept pushing it down the line of importance.
And then something kinda forced my hand. The website doesn’t make me any money OR draws that much traffic. What it does do is represent an online presence. A flag planted firmly among the scavengers attempting to separate you from your hard-earned money. It says ‘I am a real person. Who is bad at website stuff… But I’m real and I love writing adventures, creating mechanics, and creating games’
So, here’s what I’ve been doing:
- Recording a (mostly) weekly actual playtest with some friends on YouTube
- Wrote Honorbound (literally weeks from being published from what I understand)
- Wrote another adventure for Goblyn Market
- Writing a more robust set of rules for Legends of the Khurst Riders
- Running games at conventions, come play with me at Gamehole Con!!!
At this point I have dropped playing Ashes, it is still an amazing game, but I just don’t have time for it. I am finding out raising a seven-year-old is not the easiest thing to do in the world. Pretty sure I was still eating dirt at that age instead of dissecting existential dread of the infinite beyond. But here’s some art we worked on together!
I did the ink; she did the coloring. It’s a Dreamling eating dreamstuff in the world of Goblyn Market. Yum.
With Honorbound, the largest project in my short career finally coming to an end (I mean…does it really ever end? I’m already playtesting new mechanics!) I am reworking my schedule to include some more fun game playing on the Raspy Raven Discord. We talk about it here on the latest YouTube offering. Something, something makes Jack a dull boy!
Here’s a short list of what I’d like to nail down over the next year:
- Publish adventure for Dee Sanction contest (outlined)
- Publish adventure for Mutant City Blues (written, maybe this will help me get the campaign published too!)
- Publish adventure for The 13 (vaguely outlined? I am struggling a bit with this one…)
- Publish Honorbound campaign Revenge of the Aeronaut (outlined)
- Kickstart Legends of the Khurst Riders on my own (scary!!!)
- Rerelease Goblyn Market without AI Art and some updated rules (been a goal for a while…)
