This isnt meant to be depressing.
I'm not as good at finishing stuff as I was.
Im doing just feeling a bit older and less competent.
When I ran more of my own games what I wanted, I was more inspired.
Ill have a working map of my D&D5 game atrea soon.
Blog Posts In The Works - Some Taking Years Apparently
Article on gods I should finish while I have paper notes close at hand
Global Villains - for a spy/super game, our increase in real Bond Villains helped me add some more
Varieties of Orcs
My Mystic class
Magic fruit & veg and their petty gods

Legend of the magic sewer children is a draft of fiction about Shadelport
Religion & Timesacle - might be merged with the other post above on gods. I ended up pulling out my divine and nature powers post
Alchemy formula 3 - half done. It was good in play and a character invested but the record-keeping broke it. See my alchemist class above
Campaign oddments and monsters could be 5 articles, it seems to be fragments of ideas, some were removed and already became articles
Auldwood adventure seeds d100
Automaton apps (spells) about a third done trying to fit from sf to fantasy
Components - some ways of treating in-game, ive consider3eed instead of cantrips being a liability like ENC make it a benefit
d100 animal spirit changelings - will do for Auldwood
Alt Earths for Marvel 80% done
Gods of Exilon - which broke me a bit and made it hard to work on the book - now i have a religion description system it can be done
Into the nightmare realms - into a negetiven end of the dream dimension
Deities & Demigods was a monster manual - some sorta hot take
Secret Project i was waiting to be used in print and nothing has happened
I did work for a company this year, did as told and told was good then never went any further. Then asked me for help which I did and nothing since. Not encouraging. Possibly im trouble.
Smartsuit mods 2 - more advanced smartsuits for mid tier sf civilisations, the campaign ended before I got to do my time jumps
An overcomplex Xor spell system that broke me a bit and ended further work
Another secret project X i am responsible for but process that happened was very unpleasant
A piece on "the one true way to hate HPL" about fandom and antifandom
A piece that was published in a book/ I usually say I will hold a item a few years from use by other people and this one could be released
A possibly dated bunch of thoughts on subclasses. I ended up going away from d&d aproach - instead they are just example builds for beginners or late players. Maybe id make versions at higher levels like 5th 10th 15th 20t Probably wont see light of day but nice to see i made progress
d100 second hand sex robots with no sexual explicit content 2021
My former bonus card system - went on a bit too much and im unlikley to use. It was for BRP to make it a bit less lethal but modern BRP games have the superhero creep like D&D too. 2020
minor mythos artefacts - possibly i should bundle with other tables and use on a call of cthulhu fan content sales sight. Mostly the graphic design on these turned me off. Some guys mafe look like 80s stuff which i prefer and find more readable than cofee table gloss. 2019
Thing wherer i mad crib notes for ed greenwoods version of hell which i prefer to anything written since
SF setting notes. Blew out a bit and not in use.
I have a post with huge lists of to do articles ive not looked at in years
The Hell project was the best...
PDFs
Exilon Book was never resolved but I have solved my problem recently.
Auldwood Book I need to replace art and a few 3 folds too. Most of my Cthulhu in space stuff without art and game died - its a bit of a dead end.
Secret project x - i have art, logos, most of draft done. Was jerked around with moving goal posts and my editor has retired. If I do it will be for charity.
Anuranomicon. Draft done but not refined much.
Mutant Book broke me editing It and stopped the project. I did a passable draft but editing for game balance a bit wonky and I'd really want them all printed and put side by side to proof.
I think I had a few 3folds to do still in my series but I did about a hundred of them. The first two series I have editor's notes and I stopped there. I'd rather write and I'm shit and slow at editing. I can write 20 blogs rather than edit one as well as id like and its more like work. I did a dozen Zines tied into Anglerslund and I could comile it all and put the post-apoc stuff in them into another work.
My Broken Hill book was pretty cool but I could do a vol 2 with lots of locations and I have art assets all paid for sitting around. Also my main artist retired during this in part due to AI in the market and saw it as a sign that artists would be treated worse.
My Hell project I did about half the project. It did make me a bit depressed, daydreaming of Boshian/Brugel Hell all the time. It was designed to be a possibly DM-less system to pass through hell that would be different every time. I think I'd definitely try and have a go at again. I had a partner early on and weve not spoken in years. Mostly, they gave me a good list of ideas for d100 tables but they didnt do more than that.
Costs
Recently i was charged 10 dollars to print a 36pg goatquest zine and before covid it was cheap enough i could sell for 3 dollars and make a profit. Shop overcharged my as kids cant count pagination in copy shops and was over double their rates online. I made and sold zines since 1980. As im on a partial pension, making money involves red tape and is barely worth it for small incomes. Even giving stuff to charity is a bit of a pain. I think you can do it on drive-through but i dont want to handle money at all because I will require paperwork, declarations and tax. One workaround is to receive printed books or goods, which I could do and then I could distribute for charity or at cons at a hobby level. I dont really need some extra cash. An income i can live off and afford medicine and transport and do the red tape would be a different situation but I don't desperately need money currently. I deferred a course last year and cant face it at all so possibly study in current online world I dislike. I like other people to bounce ideas off.
