Two posts in two days! Hoody Hoo!
Hey fantastic fun folks,
As this year draws to a close, it is a perfect time to discuss my future plans for the page (now that I can post here again).
2017 was not good to me. I am writing the main story for a Chinese game company and they keep changing the goal post location.
Them: “Write what ever you want!”
Me: “Oh boy!”
Them: “I just saw Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League (I am so sorry), and I think our story should follow that.”
Me: “You do realize I am about twenty chapters into the book and 2/3rds of the way with finishing the main story line.”
Them: “Yeah but everyone has to change things sometimes.”
Me: “This is true.” (Anyone who has ever worked in the game industry knows this.).
Fast forward to next week (doodlee doodlee doodlee DOO).
Them: “The story line is falling behind schedule. Everyone needs to work on Saturday and Sunday” (In China there is no OT).
The entire writing team: “Whooda whada WHATA? You just changed the whole story and Had to rewrite TWENTY CHAPTERS?!”
I do not mean to sound like a Dr. Wah, but there is such a thing called realistic expectations. Basically, I stayed awake for three days straigh tto rewrite everything (because I am awesome). But that is the way most of the year went. Sure its a nature of the beast… but sadly, this left little time for me to work on my side projects like the D&D version of Castle of Blackwood Moors, the Gamebook Sequel and The novel I have been working on.
This left a lot of half done projects out there. *Sad Face*
The good news? I will have a lot of projects crossing the finish line in 2018!
This will not only include the three above projects. But two sourcebooks! One for the Blackwood Moor area, and one for the ‘City at the Edge of the World’ which islocation of the novel (Like I said, some of this stuff is LITERALLY done, I just need to find some artists, layout artists etc and they are ready to go. Hear that? I hear Kickstarter calling!)
I am planning on running a D&D campaign taking place in the City as well.
So I cannot show the full map of the City at this time. You guys (and you know who you are) no spoilers here! muhahaha!
I am also planning on documenting more stuff on Youtube or vid.me or whatever. To give a look see into my creative process.
So all you Mad Minions! Hang onto your socks! 2018 is going to be a busy year.
P.S. I have not forgotten about Hendl’s Landing! HAW!
