I didn’t expect what began as 12-page zine RPG to turn into this.
Hexingtide's Gameplay chapter has been a grind for months - writer’s block, self-doubt, ADHD distractions - but I promised myself I’d finish a big project, and this is the biggest I’ve ever tackled.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I *should* be using Affinity or some other better suited layout software, but.. I can get a lot done pushing MS Word to its bleeding edges (and dropping in Photoshop art and fancy layout elements when I can't).
It's not perfect, but hey... it works.

Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, hands down.
One of the first seeds that would grow a love for the fantastical and folkloric in me.

I should be writing and editing content for the all important GM's gameplay chapter. INSTEAD, I'm mucking around with updating Hexingtide's color palette and covers... that are 75% placeholder, anyway.

I have all this work on Hexingtide to do, session prep for tonight, and already have a framework for another minimalist fantasy game in-flight.
WHY AM I THEN, SUDDENLY, FOCUSED ON (YET ANOTHER) DERIVATIVE OSR-INSPIRED GAME? SOMEONE TELL ME.

Working on new pregen characters for the upcoming 4th playtest of Hexingtide. I'm pivoting towards more traditional gothic-folklore archetypes, such as the classic take on the witch.

If you no-show a simple get to now you chat, then my odds are that you'd skip out on sessions, too.
I'm probably grateful that they are self-selecting out of the folks I'm talking to.
Still frustrating, nonetheless!

Scheduled five quick "meet & greet" chats w/ prospective players for my #ttrpg home game.
The open spot is there b/c previous players couldn't consistently attend - and no-showed, too.
MFW I've gotten no-showed by three of the five today.

Grinding out all the updates to #Hexingtide that I've been testing & taking notes on over the last year in my home game.
I struggle to articulate why this has been such a challenge to get organized and written and out the door. But I'm trying!

As we hit September & I'm still laboring over Hexingtide's playtest update, I'm realizing that I'm likely too late to coordinate any meaningful marketing of it before Halloween.
My new goal may be just getting it out by the end of the month. Feeling like ole George here at the keyboard!

Working on pregen Hexingtide #ttrpg characters. Using a spreadsheet to balance the point buys.
As the game is all about classic monster tropes from Halloween, folklore, pop culture, I'm going that route w/ pregens:
Vampire, werewolf, witch, demon-possessed, and scarecrow.
