An old friend connected with me on #ttrpg design, and we're kind of developing next to eachother. I've got my damage tracking pretty well handled. I'm going to work out how magic works mechanically, then crank out a 3-class play-test

I'm seriouspy looking at #poweredbytheapocolypse as a core engine for my own #ttrpg system set in #Elvikar. I need to do some reading and research as well. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get some play-experience?

ugh, my whole writing system was on google docs / drive. This is such a pain.

Okay, I just found #Obsidian, and I've fallen in love with this. Its like, #onenote on steroids, and I can already think of ways to make my own secure syncing. Since its #markdown based, it replicates my #vscode workflow for #writing, so I'm thinking I can adapt and overcome. Feels better. #author

Okay, finally settled on #libreoffice suite and setting up #zotero. Thankfully there's built-in support between them. Might actually be better. Just need to set up some auto-backups. I'm having an autistic crisis over the fact that my software has to change. #rage #writing #indiauthor #author

Oh joy, I just learned Google Docs might start scraping its data for google's #AI. At the moment, I'm considering both VS Code and #libreoffice as alternatives. I just finished my first draft for Book 2 also. What a drag! #writing #indieauthor #author

So I just-about finished my draft. at 70k words and an ending, #DrunkWizard and the Riptide Bride, I'll let it sit for a week or two and start the edits.

Yesterday I ran the first match of the final tournament round in my #YuYuHakusho #pathfinder game. They fought Bui, a powerful character from team Toguro, and I'm happy to day, I ALMOST killed them. I hit that Dungeon-Master Sweet-spot and both kept the party on their toes, AND they claimed victory.

So I just finished making Bui to fight my players. I estimate him at a CR18. We'll find out how he fares tomorrow in the #YuYuHakusho game #Pathfinder #PF1e

So I bought a $300 ladder. To change a lightbulb. Where? In a narrow stairwell. Did the ladder reach? Technically, but I couldn't reach after climbing the damned thing. #DIY nightmare as it is, I'm glad I didn't injure myself. Godsdammit.

So I passed the 50k wordcount milestone while #writing my manuscript. I didn't notice, and wordcount isn't the point, but it feels good to know.

My next game session needs me to roll up Bui from #YuYuHakusho in #Pathfinder 1e and he needs to be CR 14 or 15. I think I'll have him as Human Soulknife with some modifications. I've got 2 phases to build, and I'm not above having a full 2nd build. I welcome any #help or advice.

So last night I almost TPK'd the party. #Pathfinder is a great game, but sometimes its difficult to hit that perfect sweet-spot where your party struggles and is fully engaged in survival. I feel awesome, but I wish the dice hadn't treated them so poorly.

Tonight I'm gonna GM for a Mario-themed #Pathfinder 1e game. They're starting in the pipeworks beneath the Capitol city of Myconeum, in the Rebel's HQ. Will they save the Mushroom Kingdom from the plot against the country? Will the Sarasan Delegation be implicated? Guess they'll find out tonight.

Got some more #writing today. I drew in a character from another story I've written, though she's a bit older. I think it'll be a good tie-in with my YT video series, too.

My partner set up my bookshelf, so hopefully I can start making some videos.

My partner just arranged my #bookshelf like a #boss. Hopefully this makes a good backdrop for YouTube, when I eventually post more videos there

Today in #adventures in #cooking, I made my first garlic butter sauce and seared some steaks to perfection

Today the plan is to be #productive and rearrange my fortress of writitude. #DIY and #weekendwarrior powes activate

International embarrassment.

Thinking about #writing a #scifi short story. I've got my idea, but does anyone think fantasy should stay in its lane?

So, I had to pause on my #hobbies and #sidehustles while I was taking care of my partner. I'm returning to a bit of normalcy though, and getting back into the swing. My #woodworking is taking a hit, cause it's boiling outside. But my #writing is getting some more love.

Wrote a fun scene yesterday because I thought it was cool.

I'm about to run a #homebrew #pathfinder campaign session set in the #YuYuHakusho Universe Yeah!

At least 2700 words today. #writing #writing-sprints #drunkwizard

So I'm thinking about releasing some of my #d&d / #pathfinder shops and locations in some works. Anyone know where would be good to release?

Something knocked me out for eight hours today, and it wasn't normal. Gonna hope its just flu or something relatively benign

Crazy what a year of game development can do. Never give up!

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

So I wrote my thoughts on #artificialintellgience or #ai, specifically #generativeai which is causing all of the friction with #artists and #authors alike. AI cannot make Art. And people shouldn't try to replace artists or authors with AI. It doesn't work. www.sequenceofletters.com/post/ai-cann...

Today I hit the sweet spot and "Almost killed" the party, but they lived. #Pathfinder #gamemastering #homebrew

Finished 1 #pathfinder sheet and the second. Running a #mushroomkingdom campaign is fun, and I'm happy to he helpful

So, I'm editing #pathfinder character sheets in #inkscape tonight.

I've made a homebrew one-shot setting in the mushroom kingdom, and tonight I'm going to try to run it in #tabletopsimulator

Happy 4th of July. Happy #Independenceday Though our nation is in crisis, we can still celebrate the freedoms we still have.

I made my first gravy from scratch. Mushroom broth gravy. #cooking #castiron

I wrote today. Finally, I'm getting ahold of my burnout, and my recovery. Working until you burnout and recovering is not good for you. It has a price. A tithe that makes your soul weary and your patience thin. To be truly tireless, rest is required. Hope is a new day. Dreams, the soul's anchor.

I got some good advice today. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to finish up my youtube series and start uploading again.

Just rewatched a #Babylon5 episode - Confessions and Lamentations. It's in season 2 , and I have to say it's a masterfully written story. It's also prescient, and chilling. So good, it frightened me.

More people attended #NoKingsDay than any other political protest in American History. — Steve Hofstetter

#NoKings Day. Happy #NoKinhsDay

Today I #cooked my first-ever crepes and a blueberry compote, and I WHIPPED creme from scratch. I'm apparently pretty good.

He's in the Epstein Files. The #Ice actions and #ICEprotests feel a bit like a distraction.
