Starting some work on a new module
I know I missed my newsletter update last month. I was working on a few different things and none of them were really going in the direction I wanted.
We’re also hitting spring time here so that means soccer season is starting so that means coaching! Which i’m really excited for this year since my oldest will be on the large fields now.
Really though I personally struggle with too many ideas and not enough time or energy to go after them. This forces me to be really diligent with my schedule and forcing myself to work through things even when inspiration isn’t there.
When I wander, I tend not to finish anything, and have a ton of “WIP” projects all over the place.
Last month I wondered off a bit, which can be good. It will allow me to try things I might not have tried before, but last month really hit a dead end and I just wasn’t excited for what I was building.
That being said I’m back at it and stoked to focus on this next project.
//A New Module
I really enjoyed working on the smaller Mothership modules. It was one of my wandering off projects and it was a ton of fun. I’ve gotten a pretty good response to both of them. The community response is really what made me think it might be cool to try and make something with a bit more substance.
So I sat down and started to put together some thoughts for my first longer form module design. Now in my process I need to create some design assets before I can sit down and start to write up the adventure. I need to feel the vibe and understand the world that I’m working within.
So naturally I started to work on some layout design and logo work with out anything actually written, lol.
Once I did that I found the thread I wanted to pull on and started to collect my thoughts.
Now I’ve created plenty of D&D adventures and home brew stuff, but it’s always been for me and I can really wing it when I need too. But this is going to be for other people to run which is something completely new too me.
Right now i’m in the writing phase, I want to make sure it makes sense from a pure written document before I go too far with layout.
When I get tired of writing or editing after the feedback comes in, I’ll be working on some in world assets and character drawings to help fill out the module with things that I would want out of module.
If you’ve read this far along, thank you! I’ll be updating this monthly like I normally do with behind the scenes screenshots, doodles, and updates.
Till next time!
