Thought I’d drop a proof of life post. I’m still alive! Life is kicking my backside a bit, but I’m around. Running Shadow of the Weird Wizard for my Friday group, painting #Warhammer40k where I apparently started a new Thousand Sons army in time to see them get nerfed. Ah well.

Cool! Can confirm.

Fear is the mind killer.

Yesssssss

This is the way.

Finished my first two Kastelan Robots and their Cybernetica Datasmith. #Warhammer40k #AdMech #Nerdlings #ForTheOmnissiah

Just applied 6 slide transfers each to two different #Warhammer40k #AdMech bots. Only screwed up one and had to find another sheet to get it from. Letting them dry now. Micro Set and Micro Sol are your friend. After drying, it’s Micro Sol and dry once or twice, a dull coat, then weathering.

Lately I’ve been musing about marketing for indie RPG publishers. I was in a (non-BlueSky) thread yesterday with some more experienced folks and asked if giving away a small freebie product on DriveThru to build up your mailing list was a good idea and received an affirmative response. 1/3

Was musing on the differences between my #OSR #Megadungeon game and my published #RPG #Adventure group. The first is a sandbox campaign, with lots of choices, quests, and goals. It feels like an epic story. The second is episodic, like a series of short stories. They’re both fun but hit differently.

After defeating the serpentmen last week, we started a new fae-themed adventure in my Shadow of the Weird Wizard #RPG group last night. It’s our second expert tier adventure, and lots of fun so far. #TTRPG #NotDnD

Continued my Hyperborea RPG / Stonehell Dungeon game tonight. There’s just something about the old school survivalist nature of a megadungeon crawl that makes it a thrilling game.

That ain’t a random book. That’s my childhood! 😜🙃 #OSR #D&D #Grognard #ForeverYoung

Looking forward to running some more Stonehell with friends midweek. #OSR #RPG #TTRPG

I promise that your life will be richer if you learn how to write, or sketch, or play an instrument. You don't have to be a professional at these things for that to be true. You don't even have to post your work. Being able to do these things just for yourself is life-changing. ChatGPT is not.

Got some real writing done today on my #TTRPG project. Feels good man.

Rest In Peace Chuck Mangione. Many will laud his happier tunes, but it’s hard to beat Children of Sanchez for passion, beauty, and pathos. Such a great tune and great musician and composer. youtu.be/XxIsd1KZywQ?...

Yes indeed. Stealing copyrighted work to feed to the AI grist mills is theft. It should not be allowed. youtu.be/0fPUWSv2JCI

Film, comics, music… so much illiteracy. It’s like they don’t pay any attention. Saw some right winger today comment on how Pearl Jam has gone “woke.” My dude, they have always been woke. Did you not see MTV Unplugged in 1992 and what Ed wrote on his arm? Get with the program. Better yet, wake up.

I’ve discovered that progress is progress. Small steps still count. It’s all about forward momentum. If all the time I have to paint #WH40k minis or write my #RPG project is 15-30 minutes, then it’s still worth doing. Progress still counts toward accomplishment. It’ll get done eventually.

Happy No Kings Day, Batman.

Doing some #Warhammer40k painting today to take my mind off… other stuff. Sigh. It’s funny how you can spend a couple hours at it and feel like you haven’t accomplished much. But at least I’ve made progress. And it’s helped me ignore the terribleness for a while.

Excited to be back on the horse, writing what will almost certainly be the first adventure released by Altered Worlds Press. Made a lot of progress.
