Proud dad moment:
My son graduated from Pre-K this week. β€οΈ
It's wild how quickly time moves. Feels like yesterday I was trying to figure out how to balance diapers, streaming schedules, and game design... and somehow we're already here.
Had a really good conversation with my wife over lunch this week about the future of unMadeGaming.
Since COVID and becoming a dad, Iβve been playing it safe, mostly out of fear and anxiety.
Maybe itβs time to ask for help instead of trying to do it all myself.
Current reading:
- Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Butcher's Masquerade
Current TTRPG rabbit holes:
- Frontier Scum
- Fabula Ultima
- Twilight Sword
- Pirate Borg
Experimenting with something new while editing Ruins of Heaven.
Instead of my normal workflow, I'm adding ambient music and sound effects to see:
β’ how much longer it takes
β’ whether the extra production value is worth it
β’ if anyone actually notices the difference
We've been using @AlchemyRpg for both Ruins of Heaven and Always Bloody in Doskvol, and I'm really enjoying it so far.
They're hosting a FREE VTT Day on June 29 with free games, adventures, maps, music & more.
If you're VTT shopping, it's worth a look. https://t.co/JFmAduoJaV
Back-to-back game day!
First, we're recording Always Bloody in Doskvol @ 1pm ET!
Then, we're streaming Ruins of Heaven @ 4pm ET!
RoH - Ep. 2 is where we finally find out what happens after the airship crash, and I'm friggin stoked!
Tonight is Ashes of Angmar, my non-streamed One Ring campaign!
Last session, the company left Bree and discovered a dead body in the Midgewater Marshes.
You know... normal Middle-earth activities...
We're starting a Fabula Ultima campaign at home, and my buddy's wife joined us for some world-building. She was clearly nervous, but everyone encouraged her, asked for more details, and by the end of the night, she was very excited for the next session.
Current projects on my desk:
- Fabula Ultima Home Game
- Ashes of Angmar (The One Ring)
- Always Bloody in Doskvol (Blades in the Dark)
- Ruins of Heaven (Fabula Ultima)
- Mundus Novus Arc 1 Recap
Somehow it's already Wednesday? This week has been a blur of game prep, world-building, writing, class, and a riveting kindergarten orientation.
What projects are currently eating up all of your time?
Well... that's crazy... the uMG YouTube channel is 9 years old, and I've been streaming TTRPGs since August of 2015... that's crazy. All I can say is a huge thank you to everyone who has ever tuned in, dropped by, liked, commented, subscribed, or been on our shows <3
