In my Adventures in Shadow campaign the party have finally reached the dismal village of Coldwater.
They’ve been trying to get to the village for weeks of real time, but a forgotten tomb, an owlbear hunt and other distractions have stymied their attempts. Last night they finally made it!
Another month is over, and so I’m reporting on my 2019 131,000-design word challenge for March. Last month, I managed 28,623 words; this month I clocked up 34,382 which is substantially more than my 10,500-word target. Thus, I am content.
Behold a graph of my progress to date for the year!

It’s GM’s Day this week, which has—unsurprisingly—got me thinking about Gary Gygax, and how much I owe him. I’ve been gaming for 35 years, and roleplaying games have been one of the main parts of my life since I discovered them at the age of ten in my grandfather’s cellar. How the world turns.
Another month is over, and so I’m reporting on my 2019 131,000-design word challenge for February. Last month, I managed 33,101 words; this month I wasn’t quite so prolific, but I still clocked up 28,623 words which is substantially more than my 10,000-word target. Thus, I am content.

(And by “better” I mean more enjoyable).
