Back on my BS

My winter vacation is coming to a close tomorrow. I feel like I didn’t do half the things I wanted to, but I did accomplish a lot!

First and foremost: I’ve written a tabletop adventure (for OSE) under my business name, Bovidae Studios. It has been written, playtested, and the third draft has been sent to my editor for review (and removing my unnecessary verbiage – I am sure you noticed, but I am actually an extremely mediocre writer). I have a couple interior drawings to finish up, but otherwise, once I get that back and make some changes, I’ll let my spouse look it over and then send it for self-publishing via DriveThruRPG.

It’s very exciting! I put a lot of work into it! Is it good? Maybe. Who knows! It’s ~20 pages of actual content and it will cost $7.95 – it was going to be $10.00, but then someone else released something infinitely cooler, their magnum opus, for $7.95, so I decided maybe mine should be the same. There will also hopefully be a print edition (mostly I want to own it if I’m being honest) once that goes through DriveThru’s proofing process. I’m also starting work on my second adventure for release maybe in April! Both of these I will probably post to this blog when they are up, but probably won’t do any progress updates or anything (though I do post some updates aimlessly on the dice.camp Mastodon instance from time to time).

Otherwise, #Dungeon23 is a thing (thanks to Sean McCoy’s brain). It is supposed to be a year’s-long mega dungeon: one room a day, one floor per month, for a total of 365 rooms and 12 floors. As cool as this is… I don’t have the time for it. I have adventures to write, a day job that has nothing to do with tabletop, I’ve got art commissions on the side, I started working out three times per week, I’ve been doing vocal lessons and learning guitar on my own, and I’m supposed to be updating this blog… so I already fill up most of my free time!

That said, I still want to do it – so, as a compromise, I’m doing one room a week and will hopefully post my updates to this blog! The exact day of the week is uncertain – it will probably vary, but it should be interesting. I’m doing it on paper, but I’ll digitise along the way and toss it all together as a PDF at the end.

Lastly, I accidentally overwrote this blog’s WordPress theme and it messed up the navigation menu. I can’t be arsed to fix it right now, but maybe I’ll get around to it.

That’s all for now! More posts to come…
