Stalled Out

Game Update

Things are at a standstill right now and last week as my job has flipped me to a schedule that has interfered with my normal game development time with my mentor Chris. This isn’t an excuse however as I have had time to work. This is one of the reasons it is so important to have a time to do what you said you would do, and someone to be accountable to. We will return to work and double up some sessions soon however.

I have thought off and on about fleshing out some of the random events in the game. Possibly creating some continuing plot lines that will unlock and randomly show up. Maybe something that is 2-3 levels deep, nothing to crazy. The problem might be that a lot of the characters I think up for these roles would be based on people I really knew in real life. Maybe that’s not as big an issue as I think though.

Personal Update

Last week I missed my blog entry because I had some more pressing matters to attend to. It was quite a trial but I think that I am through it now and everyone involved is in a better place now. I can’t say much more about it.

Life sort of snuck up on me and I didn’t even realize that spring break is this month. I missed a deadline on a camp for one of my sons so he probably will not be able to go to it. It makes me feel bad, but I also feel like he shares some of the responsibility to remind me too. It’s crazy how time flies. I’m seeing Facebook memories from just last year and it reminds me that I was in a much different place back then.

The Dwarven Forge Kickstarter closed out at the end of the month last month. A lot of my focus was on that and I think I know what I want to do. I am also looking at a Wyrmwood gaming table as they just re-launched that Kickstarter too. I’m really trying to focus my finances more on buying stocks and building up assets, but I have been waiting for these campaigns for quite a while now.

I went from working zero conventions this year to possibly working up to three in this past week. One is at the end of the month. It feels pretty good getting back into the groove of that again. I wonder if this is the next thing that I will want to do to push myself a little. It does seem to fit well with my overall plans and I do feel like I’m pushing myself when I do it. I have thought off and on that I might like to fully retire when I don’t have to worry about my kids and just travel around working various conventions throughout the year. Once I have enough to exit the rat race that might be possible.
