All she wants is to drink.
Alone.
Now she's on an adventure.

Can Cadma fight off beasts, gangsters, and
sobriety long enough to save them?

#pathfinder game was fun, a good hangout with good people.

But with all of us adults exhausted to the point our brains couldn't brain the numbers, I see the problems with the system.
I'm confident my #ttrpg addresses the biggest problems, and alot of the minor ones with my previous favorite rpg.

So I'm thinking about a #kickstarter to get some funding for my #ttrpg and paying for some artwork.

Tonight I'm continuing a #pathfinder 1e "Homebrew" of a nintendo-esque adventure.

I'm the GM and they're returning home on the way to check the Wastes North of the Sorbet Mountains

I think my #ttrpg is coming along well. my 4th revision is going to have alot of changes. Changing the "Cope" stat's name, and introducing a couple of new mechanics. Looking foreward to the nex closed #playtest , but any thoughts on if I have enough people to nake a #kickstarter work?

I was #todayyearsold when I saw #trevornoah speak about being #ADHD on a video, and it gave me hope of being successful while being #neurodivergent. Holy crap, that's alot of feels for a sunday morning

Tomorrow at 6pm central, I'm running a playtest of my new #ttrpg with MicktheMiddleman
For the playtest, We're playing TMNT but Australian.

I've made some adjustments and I've got enouhh to make pregens for the next playtest.

Really excited

For the first time in my #writing, I'm separating my draft into scenes and editing from there
October 22, 2025 at 8:11 PM
So I have a core engine for my #TTRPG - a 2d6 system that started as a #pbta, but I'm straying further and futher away from it

Last night I started working on an actual #TTRPG file with a couple of friends. #awesome #writing
October 13, 2025 at 7:07 PM
so I've editted up to chapter 4 in my manuscript. Just a first pass for continuity.
October 6, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Don't forget!
On this Oct 3, I have a full first draft and I'm handling more business as an author

So I just joined limfic and listed Drunk Wizard and the Cowardly Knight to its posts.

Should be a good start for ramping up the next book also.

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
September 25, 2025 at 9:37 PM
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?
September 23, 2025 at 2:21 PM
ugh, my whole writing system was on google docs / drive. This is such a pain.
September 22, 2025 at 1:46 AM
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
September 19, 2025 at 8:22 PM
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.

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!

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.
