Have I ever mentioned I really like D&D?
Okay so I haven't really been able to DM a game in over 6 years. I've been playing a game with a newly made friend over the last few weeks and they've really gotten me back in the mood for writing. I'd been kinda hovering on the Idea for a while now but it more or less sparked a bit more inspiration than I've had in a while. A few days before my last birthday on the 7th, I ended up getting the idea for a Campaign setting with a Basic plot idea so I've basically been on a rampage, creating Lore and setting up stuff that I could use. I set myself up so that I'd give myself a month to prepare things and then start running the campaign then. So far we're set to start on thursday the 2nd of July and of course I plan on streaming it to Twitch. I am stupidly excited, inspired and it's gotten me out of a funk I've been dealing with for the last few months that just took a turn for the worse the week of. It was actually quite nice... Itch.io was doing a Bundle for racial justice and equality so I donated pretty early on. I wasn't really thinking much except for "hurr hurr donate & help" so I hadn't really looked into what was in the bundle until a few days later and after they'd probably added a few things. But I was fairly surprised to find a few amazing sets of Assets for Top-Down Tilesets usually used for RPG Maker. ...And now I'm hopelessly addicted. I hadn't thought to use pre-made materials for my Map Building but the moment I saw them I knew what I had to do. I ended up finding and supporting a few other Artists that had premades as well as finding a few free sets that were made available. Just searching and finding stuff that works well together. I also got excited because it's a tile style that I can mimick fairly well if I need more variety or different objects that haven't been made. >w<
Not the Best Makeup or Layout because I have no idea how to build a map BUT It'll work for D&D and I am just ///aaaahhh///
It's just got me on a roll that keeps building inertia. I feel clearer headed than I have in a while.
Still feel like I'm losing my mind because I keep forgetting things or getting distracted but it's been a long time since I've really been inspired by anything that wasn't negative emotion.
I looking forewards to continuing the game I've been in while providing my Current DM with an Outlet that he can have some fun in as well and see just where these players will take me.
Maybe they'll take one of the pathes I'll present or maybe they'll kick and scream all the way in the opposite direction.
So I admit, writing for the Campaign and Building the Maps has really kept be distracted from everything else since I got back home.
Of course then I was talking to one of my upcoming players when I was on Twitch about the stuff
and I sorta got inspired by how the Chaos I was making were moving... So I just sorta dragged one of my older Comms onto the Map Page just to test it.
Oh god it just seemed to work uwu;;
So I spent the rest of my Stream, after finishing up my List, making Generic NPCs. Basic Townfolk that you'd expect to see hanging around.
