my god how is it almost the end of 2024. time moves way too quickly.
this one's probably going to be short but i said i was gonna do more with my comradery and i intend to. last month i hard pivoted into doing some original fiction work which was, let me tell you, VERY successful. did a whole bunch of manuscript backstory which let me iron out some kinks in prep for doing some actual drafting... next year? let's say next year. i don't have the time i would like to really hunker down and focus entirely on drafting for the next two months between vacations and holidays and my day job, so.
we finally announced it at this year's moonshot direct so i can finally talk about last bastion pro wrestling, the actual play that has made me miss real-life wrestling for the last few months because we record at the same time as dynamite. the one-line pitch is "what does wrestling look like in a world where superheroes are real" and let me tell you: we're cooking. we are on one. i'm half asleep in almost every episode which makes me even more punchy and it rules.
it also... may be the reason why i got back into game design. see, i love world wide wrestling 2e, but there's some things that we keep running into in play that are... let's call them pain points. the game i talked about in my last post is my and jacqueline's attempt to build a system that will feel better for us and the stories we're trying to tell.
(thank you john harper for releasing blades deep cuts, actually. it's doing wonders for my design process.)
so my rest of 2024 is dedicated to: that game (which for the sake of brevity i will simply be calling "ringside"), campaign prep for other future projects (because i don't have enough irons in the fire already), and IRL commitments. i'll circle back around to game text maintenance and original fiction (most likely) in the new year, when my schedule opens all the way back up and i have time to do things again.
i might post an end-of year roundup come december? but not sure if i want to put it here or on neocities. we'll see when we get there.
anyway to close this out follow me on bluesky which is now my primary non-tumblr account.
