131,000 Design Word Challenge: February Update

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.

Behold a graph of my progress to date for the year!

 

Onto March (and if you are doing a similar challenge let me know how you are doing in the comments below).

131,000 Design Word Challenge: January Update

It’s been a great month for the 131,000 Design Word Challenge–I hit roughly 33,101 words in January, which was somewhat higher than my 11,500-word target. The vast majority of these words came from Raging Swan Press supplements and adventures, while the rest came from blog posts and session summaries. The rough break down is:

  • Articles: 4,125
  • Session Summaries: 4, 354 words
  • Supplements and Adventures: 24,622

I’ve got a feeling I know how I’ve been so productive, and I’ll share more on my strategy and tactics in an upcoming post.

I’m not going to do a graph this month. I know this will disappoint some of you, but a graph with one column seems a tad pointless to me. Who knows what kind of graphical summary I will assail you with next month!

Onwards, to February

Gloamhold in 2019

Glowering amid dark rumours and terrible stories of desperate adventure, death, betrayal and glimmering treasures squat the unutterably ancient halls of Gloamhold. This crumbling, benighted, haunted dungeon complex of unknown, but undeniably vast, extent is buried deep within the grim and brooding spray-drenched headland of the Mottled Spire. It is a place of legends, madness and death.
