I've signed up for this but won't be posting progress every day because I'm going on holiday in the middle of it. But today I did some work on Angier's Folly, and I reckon I can have it ready to send to the editor by the end of the week. Maybe I'll even get the new cover done.
Every November, I run a writing group for my fellow writers over on the @miskatonicplayhouse.com Discord

This year, we're asking you to set a SMART goal and then commit to posting up your progress everyday.

It's a lovely, supportive atmosphere. Come & join us!

I had a lovely time discussing scenario writing, tools, methods and resources with these lovely people.
Participating in NANOWRIMO? Symphony has asked some of our favorite prolific authors, scenario-creators, and game designers to explore their own personal processes while revealing some of their preferred tools, methods, and reference books to help get them publish!

We've finished Extraordinary Attourney Woo (thanks @dampscot.bsky.social for the recommendation) so need new shows to space out episodes of Tomorrow.

So far, Strong Girl Bong-Soon turns out to be quite a lot like Behind Your Touch. We've got a cute female lead with a supernatural power...

I am delighted that the Korean for clothes looks like a stick figure.

I won a new book in the raffle at Furnace and now I once again find myself with insufficient shelves. I'm counting on people at the ConTingency bring and buy to help me out with this.

This morning's game was SLA Industries, where the team set out to change the paper in the printer. It took them a few hours but they did eventually get their kebabs.

More games at #furnacerpg. Candela Obscura, investigating a mass disappearance at a carnival. Then all-cat-people Dragonbane with @savagespiel.bsky.social - good dialogue opportunities for an evening game!

Just played my first game of Pendragon. It's nicely put together, the passions are fun, and the skill list is reasonable sized for a BRP game.

Finished both my scenarios for Furnace this weekend. That was a close one! Normally I like to do online test runs of scenarios, but I don't think I can fit one in this time...

I've printed character sheets, the scenario, and the sign-up sheet for K-pop Demon Hunters: Hoobaes. I've got a sign-up sheet, the book and my deck of cards for Wraithound. I'm sure I've got index cards somewhere. Let's hope they're in the bag I think they're in.

Fingers crossed for Roll20 behaving this time! I have plans. And maps.

안녕하세요!

So apparently I have a new hobby now. This Hangul script is great. Major props to King Sejong the Great.

감사합니다

Given that we're having to space out episodes of Tomorrow so as not to dump too much trauma on ourselves at once, we've started a second show. Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Absolutely loving it so far. Woo Young Woo is lovely and the rest of the cast feels equally nuanced and well written. Delightful.

Prepping for my Dragonbane scenario at Furnace. Most of the actual plot is done, and I've got a rough idea what maps I'm going to use. But the worst part is creating characters. Normally I love character creation for one-shots, but not for Dragonbane! Two cat people down, three to go. Arrgh.

Started a new K-drama: Tomorrow. I don't think I can actually recommend this one, as while it's a supernatural drama based on Korean mythology (hence why we started watching it), its theme is suicide prevention which means the subject matter is extremely heavy.

Still stars a Kpop idol, obviously.

Slugblaster campaign finished last night. Overall I think this is a great version of FITD and the downtime system is way more interesting than the way Blades keeps ending up as 'Welp, time to relieve stress again'. Although it does have the usual FITD issue that dice are bastards.

Once more we prepare to face the glistening buttock monster.

Past me was entirely wrong about how much I was going to love Bong Ye-Bun and Moon Jang-Yeol.

The second half of the series is less comedic and way more tense. We had to stop watching last night because we couldn't handle the emotions.
I did actually learn something from Secret Royal Inspector and Joy, it turns out, when the vet participates in a shamanic ritual and I recognised the outfits and stuff.

I don't think I'm going to love these characters like Ra Yi-Eon and Kim Jo-Yi but I'm looking forward to the murders.

Chief. Give me 24 hours. I can crack this case!

But the clock’s ticking. One day left.

Is this the end of the road—or is it your last chance to get out before the lights go dark?
