He/Him Creator of Tales Untold. Check out Gilmoril: Technogothic Nightmare! https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/101a4779-8d87-4f40-ad67-54d89ed9aff3/landing Profile art by Matthew Willetto
Going over the manuscript for Gilmoril and filling in the bits I skipped over. Unfortunately that means I'm now writing about money, something that bores me to no end... Yay me.
Bona Nova has been pretty great on my end. Small caps version also looks great while still being legible.
Enjoy the monster hunting of The Witcher? The aesthetics of Bloodborne? The technological creatures of Horizon Zero Dawn?
Then welcome to Gilmoril: Technogothic Nightmare!
He eats all of the works an author has ever written, and then eats the author themselves. Horrifying.
More horrifying still is my wife came up with the idea while I was in the middle of writing so many stories. It left an impression on me.
It's not all fire and steel. In Gilmoril, you'll also encounter magical anomalies known as Maledictions, spells that have gone rogue. They tear through the land just as well as any Technocyte. Yet they follow the rule of magic in Gilmoril:
Once you understand it, it ceases to function.

Gilmoril is a land surrounded on all sides by barriers both natural and otherwise...
Continent spanning lakes, forests that have burned for generations, marshes that have swallowed entire civilisations, and mountains whose speech makes the earth tremble.
And there in the centre of it all is Gilmoril
Being experts means making decisions. The citizens of Gilmoril have no choice but to believe what you tell them about your escapades. Will you answer their trust with the terrifying truth? Or will you feed them comforting lies in these dark times...

In Gilmoril, you'll spend a lot of time hunting down the Technocytes. These villainous robots take on the form of legendary creatures to terrorise us at every turn, making it clear that they aren't just here to hunt us. They also want us scared...
Maybe I should get back into animation again...
A masterpiece of choreography
Ask not for whom the Vengabus comes, it comes for thee.
Honestly those medieval peasants that survived their food have stronger organs than any one of us.
That's what's stopped me from doing any kind of actual play content in the past despite really wanting to. So much to manage in addition to all the games I'm managing!
I don't know how you do it honestly

It's really hard to want to sell people something in the middle of all this heartache and difficulty. It's ultimately for entertainment, to help people forget about the world for awhile and enjoy something else. But even still.
It's hard.
I've got to finish this manuscript but I've also gotta get this art done but I've also gotta pay for marketing but I've also gotta go to work but I've also gotta spend time with my family but I've also gotta make sure I'm ok because I've also gotta finish this manuscript.
At the strike of midnight last night I was helping to plant a golden acorn in fable 2. Really starting the year off right.
Remember when Facebook wasn't 3 ads then a random post from someone you don't know?
Oh you stopped to read a post but clicked away when you noticed it was a dog whistle? Too late, your feed is just racism now. Also buy these products.
I appreciate the lack of algorithm here. It's nice. Peaceful.
Don't normally share these but why not? Bit of fun. #SpotifyWrapped

Oh thank goodness it's not just me. I did a whole 2 or 3 jobs worth of writing and designing only to find out I need to do 3-5 jobs worth of admin and marketing. Also I haven't been paid yet.
If I was working for anyone else I would've quit by now.
"Your life is incomplete Scrooge. For you lack both the christmas spirit and a stable fiscal plan."
"Well I'm sure you've got all kinds of opinions on my finances, but how could you possibly help me find my christmas spirit?"
"spirits."
"What?"
"What?"
What's that in the shadows? Is it a monster? Some fiend come to torment you in the night?
No! It's the trailer for #Gilmoril: Technogothic Nightmare!

A well dressed character wielding an old flintlock pistol in one hand, and pointing at you with the other, is prominently featured in the centre of the image. Above them text reads "I want you". Below them text reads "Join the Venerer. Hunt Monsters. Solve Mysteries. Save the World!" The background of the image depicts a gothic cityscape with a cathedral shown on the right hand side, with a ghostly woman in white watching over the city from a rooftop. Art by Matthew WIlletto. It is followed by a QR Code that directs you to the backerkit page for this project to subscribe for updates, followed by the words "Powered by Hedron."

Due to being overworked and overwhelmed, it seems an artist I hired used AI without me noticing.
I'm pretty annoyed about it, and trying to fix it now by redoing all material containing their art.
I don't want that near my game.
The work continues with a sore ego and a lighter wallet it seems.

Dark figures stalking behind a cloaked man in a gothic cities alleyway. The full moon shines it's blue light down upon them. In the skyline can be seen artwork of a metallic werewolf, a robotic vampire being staked by a woman white white eyes, and an old man with weary eyes. Beneath the image in a white frame, text reads "Gilmoril: Technogothic Nightmare".
Been awhile. What's been happening?
Well, the quick start for Gilmoril has been sent off to the printers. Trailers have been made and lots of promo material is done.
Now looking into possibly getting a short actual play set up for it, but not sure where to start.
