I bit off more than I could chew with my Coffee Hutch project. 3 days was not enough in triple digit, high humidity heat.
I'm transferring / posting a short story I've written into my blog on my website. Its a side-story in Elvikar, but not the central story of my novels. #writing #shortstory #story #part2 #elvikar #drunkwizardchronicles www.sequenceofletters.com/post/the-spy...

Hey guys, I'm posting chapters of a side-story in #elvikar in case you want to dip your toes into the world of the #drunkwizardchronicles I should be publishing book 2 later this year, but with any luck, this can help tide you over. www.sequenceofletters.com/post/the-spy...

Happy 250th #IndependenceDay ! We celebrate our defiance of a tyrannical leader who impoverished an already struggling populace he cared little for. We chose to forge a new path, and this great experiment continues. #happy4th
the intra-universal headquarters of Sequence of Letters LLC is moving.
Hey guys, I usually have a neat thought on these, but this time, its a little bit of a bummer. I'm going on a 2-week hiatus. Main reason? I'm packing to move.
I'm now only 3 orders of overwhelmed. That's actually an improvement. It was 5-times during some lofe-changing things. Finally recovering from some ilness, so hopefully I'll get back to "just overwhelmed" some-time soon.
I'm going to run an airship combat soon in my D&D game. Not sure if the party will do ship-2-ship or something more melee.
Ever want to choose the darkside and post something thinking "How many people can I make angry about this thing?"
Looking like my partner and I will be home owners soon, so....packing up our whole operation!
I'm riding the edge of anxiety attack and adrenaline drums, heartbeats of hailstones and the storm's eye staring me down. #flashpoem #poem
So I'm making a #font for #spellpunk. I'm also starting a campaign for content development in the system. New spells, and codifying Episode 1. Running as the Punkmaster is helpful for designing assistance for future PMs in the system. Going on a short hiatus to finish buying a house.
on #spellpunk, I did have a good playtest yesterday at lunch. Another tonight with a different group. I noticed I need rules for vehicle LD in motorcycle combat, as its a common tactic to attack the vehicle instead. I have the place on the charactersheet, but its not listed in the rules.
So, trying to make the #spellpunk working draft much more rulebook like. I've added more narrative content, and I'm experimenting with excerpts in Docs. I'm again reminded why #scribus exists, and I'm thankful it is there for later. For now, I've got a form-fillable character sheet and one last map.
Rearranging the rules into a rulebook format. The setting and lore gonna be written in the rules. Also working on my art to illustrate some of the stranger origins, Technology and world building for players.
I've been burning the candle at three ends lately, trying to market, design, and layout my #ttrpg, #spellpunk.
Okay, I've made a new logo for #spellpunk, which I think is more appropriate and evokes the spirit of the game a little better. While the last logo wasn't bad, this is perhaps a little better. I'm also pushing my design document into something player-readable so I can hand out copies of the #ttrpg
So I recreated my #spellpunk charactersheet in #inkscape. The challenge has been to know if the text / iconography is big enough for a #ttrpg. Needs to be large enough for handwriting without taking up too much space. Looking forward to getting a video up tomorrow, if I'm lucky.
So I'm looking at some simple animations to get people more into the world of #spellpunk. I made an #animation test to see if I could do it with 2D assets, and I think I can make this work. I do need to shoot another #youtube #video soon to talk about some of the characters in the world too.
just made a "good" world (city) nap for #spellpunk. I gotta keep it close to vest for now, but a new approach was both faster and yielded better results. #ttrpg #inkscape #design #campaignsetting #cyberpunk
So I've added a few more spells to the big list in #spellpunk, and I've started to fill in a bit of the city #map. The plotlines and adventures are starting to expand in my mind as I generate more content for the #game. I'm considering adding some RNG to the shopping system, but I can see problems
So I'm looking over my notes from the #playtest and #spellpunk definitely needs "feats", which I think I'm gonna call "abilities." I also think I'll prototype some item-cards for quick inventory management. #ttrpg #design #cyberpunk
So one hell of a weekend. Flat Tire, Cat Medical Emergency, and a as-yet unresolved dental emergency. Somehow I was able to run a playtest, but I've gotta take a day off of work tomorrow. #whenitrainsitpours #badluck
