So as I prep to relaunch my Pathfinder 2e game, I find myself trying to find good maps for a planned encounter and I am coming to the realization that I will probably have to make my own, and I'm kinda scared.

As a software engineer, I constantly have to remind myself, that the me from 6 months ago was probably really an idiot.
And the me from a few years ago, I don't even know how he got a job. Lol

Had to get a screen replacement on my phone finally.
Ugh. But cheaper than a new phone.

So Arcade1up recently hosted a sale on one of their cabinets. Killer Instinct was sold for 80% off. Don't know how many were sold, But apparently a lot were. Due to the price, I jumped on it. Only for one day later to get an email saying that things were oversold and they were cancelling orders and giving a $25 gift card.
Today, I got the email officially cancelling my order.
So I'm now picking up a used Street Fighter one locally. Looking like I'm hacking on it this weekend

So last night, with the 3 year old, we were playing Mario Odyssey in 2 player mode. First, an observation. Want to play Odyssey on hard mode? Have a toddler controlling Cappy. We spent probably 30 minutes of me just chasing to catch him.
But the main point, he just came up to me to ask if we could play Odyssey together. I told him I was working and couldn't play right now. His response?
"You don't need to work, you need to play Odyssey with me." Hard to argue with that logic, am I right?

Twice now, in about a month, my eldest has tried his damned best to fall for a giveaway scam through TikTok.

Luckily he knows enough to talk to me before trying to actually engage with most of these. But he then wants to argue that it's legit when I tell him that it's pretty much almost guaranteed to be a scam.

It's getting rough out there

Every April 1st...
I miss ThinkGeek's front page.

So I went into the office today and apparently the HVAC in my side of the building was broken, blaring the heat up to 90° F

Didn't expect to be programming in a sauna today

Tonight after 2+ long weeks of converting everything, ran my first session of Pathfinder 2e. A lot of home brew stuff to convert an ever-on game from D&D but so far, people seem to be enjoying it. First adventure that I've created a purely on my own as well (story and encounters wise).

Can't wait for my players to start to see how it all connects

Pregan I believe was the next to fail while Rowan and Diverett ended up hitting a Halfling flying around on a dinosaur. As the ground rushed up, one more will save to keep going, Rowan failed, and Diverett presses the button at the last second to win the prize.

Then off to investigate disappearing warforged.

Session 1: the group decides to work for one of the adventuring guilds in town, but they aren't well known and kinda feeling the shady vibe, so they signed up with the Deaths Gate Adventuring Guild. And immediately got told to jump off a tower as part of a game of Sharn Chicken.
Jump off a bridge with a magical parachute essentially and the last person to press the button wins.
Winchester panicked immediately, whole Rowan and Diverett plowed into an air carriage carrying cabbage.

Gonna post some details from my new campaign.
Started everyone at level 3 just because and it's an Eberron game currently set in the city of Sharn.
Current Players:
Wife - Diverett, Mark of Storm Half Elf Monk.
Eldest - Winchester, Warforged wandslinger (gunslinger reflavor)
Rowan - Half Elf Barbarian
Pregan - Mark of healing Halfling

We had a warlock who had to drop temporarily

My custom Dungeon-ish 23 schedule works out like this.

1st of the month, general idea for the dungeon. Than every 3 days, I create the idea for the room, describe an interesting detail, and finally the basic map.
This works out to creating around a ten room dungeon every month.

Did this because with busy schedule I felt this was less pressure but it still helped me with the creative ideas to create some fun things. #dungeon23

I am gonna start writing more about my #ttrpg and #dnd games and stuff here because I can.

I also am starting on a modified version of the #dungeon23 challenge (I'm on track as of yesterday and havent done my update for today yet) where instead of one mega dungeon, I'm making 12 smaller dungeons.

I will post some details on that in a little bit, but definitely interested in seeing other people's content as well.

4. A cult of dark magic users who worship the evil god of death, The Raven Queen, and seek to bring about the end of the world.
5. An evil sorcerer who has discovered a way to harness the power of the elemental planes to destroy the city of Stormreach and all who live there.

Here are a few ideas for a bad guy in an Eberron game:

1. A powerful warlord from one of the Five Nations who seeks to conquer the other nations and become the ruler of all Khorvaire.
2. A mad scientist who has created a race of humanoid constructs known as "warforged" and is using them to take over the city of Sharn.
3. A dragon who has been corrupted by the power of the Draconic Prophecy and seeks to remake the world in its own image.

So, I tried out the Chat GPT to create a bad guy for my Eberron game. Might actually use one of them

Although if anybody in the #ttrpg space has some advice on running games with remote players, that would be great.

We had one player who was playing remote and the other 4 in the house, and the remote player seemed extra quiet. I know it is easy to focus on people in a room over people on a phone and I wonder what I can do to help that.

Just finished session one of a new D& D campaign.
Set in Eberron, probablyy favorite published setting.

And it started with all of my players jumping off a bridge. I think so far, it's successful. (Playing a game of Sharn Chicken).

Creating my first campaign not ran from a book is fun but intimidating. But I'm loving it so far.
