I talk about rpgs and have published a couple of microgames, available at https://unseenlibrarian.itch.io/

Stealing Mantling/Heroquesting/UA archetypes/Wagner's Mage, etc. for this slowly expanding "What if I made my own heartstaker" project. Sometimes people just end up embodying a mythic archetype or motif and it makes their life awful until they figure out mitigating strategies.

So this is still an issue, unfortunately. Got my first royalties from Amazon, which I'd hope'd would help, but it's only for the handful of sales for the first book in May, which means it's all of...6 dollars. The extra expenses this month have been killer and next month's bills are on the way.

So I'm about $70 short to have all bills wrapped up for this month so I can start working on next month's bills and whatever surprise emergency expenses happen. Any help appreciated, but it'd be nice to be back to 0 or even a little ahead. www.paypal.com/paypalme/Uns... gofund.me/a9107f7ce

So on top of the usual issues- we're having electrical problems in the house: replaced circuit breakers, but power is still out in the outlets on one half of the house. We have an electrician coming Wednesday, but I have no idea how much that will end up costing. Could use any and all help.

Still not having much luck with the job hunt and could anything to keep my phone on while I continue to send out resumes and applications. Gofund me or Paypal are both options, with the former having some other options to help: gofund.me/bd6c6e0b2 www.paypal.com/paypalme/Uns...

Was hoping I'd make it a full two weeks with no surprise expenses but sometimes you wake up to a kitchen sink nearly full of dirty water that only seems to drain into the other side of the sink when plunged. May be replacing some pipes and a faucet soon. All help appreciated. gofund.me/6cdc51326

Ever so often I find myself thinking about Tovar the Lava King. And then I feel sad about Tovar the Lava King. But you should always remember Tovar the Lava King and tell people of Tovar the Lava King, which is what I'm doing right now.

Two Panels from Blue Beetle, In the first, Jaime Reyes, in his Blue Beetle costume, yells to a  red-skinned man, reminding him of his history. (his fake history, because he was created in a lab and given an imaginary backstory.) "You bore two sons, Madroc and Sadroc, with your wife Kalina!" "You single-handedly united the Under-Empire!!" The Red skinned man replies "Go, my young friend." 

In the second panel, Tovar raises his spear heroicall as his home collapses around him. "Go and tell the world! Tell them of my people, our history. Tell the world of the hero- Tovar the Lava King!"

And now you have been told of the hero, Tovar the Lava King.

6000 words into writing season summaries of an imaginary show, realized I didn't include a character I'd name-checked in an early rules example and had the thought of "It's fine, when I do her pre-gen sheet I can just note she's from the tie-in novels and only got added to the show in Season 5.

I'd really like a week without a financial crisis that wouldn't be one if I were still working. Sudden extra late fees on our rent despite having paid it the same day as always for the last 5-10 years. Any help would be appreciated. gofund.me/c8fe7b060
