What are you working on?

Nique · 03-11-2015, 01:46 PM

I worry that the most active forum activity comes from big blowouts, and I don't want all of my most memorable or inspired discussions to be had due to anger. Anyway, we don't need to talk about that here, I just wanted to give a little context for a more lighthearted discussion.

What sort of projects have you all got yourself involved in these days? Videos, art, research, work? Anyone making a game? Developing a unique RP campaign? Collecting anything interesting?

I just got hired as a city admin for a small town so right now I'm doing a lot of research on city ordinances and land-managment. I now known the difference between an urban growth boundary and city limits!

Also, I am still working on my tabletop RPG. The guide is getting quite robust now, and I'm hoping to but some art from Matt to complete it eventually, as time permits him. The wolrd-building is a little challeneging since the game is intended to work in multiple settings, but I have a pretty decent world-map and history in a draft right now.

Well you all know what I'm working on.

Nique and Bio were big helps last night on it too, btw.

Working on a writing project.

I'm still writing my book, as seen below. After eleven years I can now see a clear path to the end of act 1, and the work seems to go faster, but I'm putting everything I have into every part of it and it's so exhausting and scary and lonely.

Amake, a lot of your book reads in an odd tense - It feels more like poetry, which is interesting. What's that about?

I'm writing a satirical manga right now.... oh and about a year later my diet was a success. Lost about 30lbs and at my clinical ideal weight. Not perfect but definitely a healthier life style.

Something abit more somber, I decided to get another fox after what happened. I figured I shouldn't give up on the idea of giving one a good home due to an accident caused by another.

I still have my 100 Theme Challenge on the backburner, although I broke my own arbitrarty rule and burned myself out working on a single story. I'll get back to it eventually. I just have to stop being bored of the theme I was working on.

I was planning on taking a Nia class, but it looks like that ain't happening due to bullshit and shenanigans. So the lifelong commitment to Never Interacting WIth Other Humans Outside of the Internet continues. Yay hermit life.

I'm playing tabletop RPGs in play-by-post (the local Pathfinder Society apparently doesn't want new players so see above lifelong commitment). Right now I'm in 3 different games: Two Pathfinder games and a D6 Star Wars game. I have a cowardly, stuck-up, spoiled alcoholic human Alchemist who is the most fun character to play. He's rolled SIX critical failures IN A ROW on rolls regarding everything he's supposed to excel at (failed a knowledge roll on the town he's lived in his whole life, failed a roll to throw a rock at a simple target even though he has the Throw Anything feat, failed to search a room for an exit, etc), but somehow that actually suited his character really well. I also have a dwarven ranger who is super boring, and a Zabrak cyborg pirate who has effectively managed to annoy every single person in the party with her very first post in the game. She's fantastic.

It's about choosing every word with utmost care, to have the story not only enchant and inspire but also sound good.

Thanks for noticing. :3
