White Box Adventures!

 

I made a thing. Currently with proofreaders and copyright lawyers to ensure that nothing, and I repeat NOTHING, has been borrowed from an existing product. All will be original content created by me for use by cool ass gamers. This will be a tri-fold pamphlet style one page adventure. While I designed it for myself others to use for solo adventuring, I think it could very easily be used for group play as well. It even has a method for finding other suckers to join you on this adventure.

Once this has been signed off by the proofmonkeys, I will likely post this to itchi.io.

In other news, I got a new job, I start tomorrow, likely going to be a massive amount of work and stress, but it pays well and is less than 10 minutes from my house, far better than driving an hour to Nashvegas for the same pay. Maybe I will do this for a couple of years, pay off the house, then really retire and just make gaming products. Huzzah!

UPDATE:

I ended up nearly dying last year and this whole thing got derailed at the last minute, until Narmer reminded me about it. Uploaded to itch.io just now so you can store in your library there!

    1. I failed. Around this time I took a new, quite stressful job, then a few weeks later I had a near-death experience (for reals) and this completely 100% slipped my mind. Thank you for reminding me! I will put this up in just a few minutes.

  6. Oh, great! Yeah, I remember your advice concerning ladders. I now treat them all as if they are mimics waiting to kill me.

    1. Yeah, I actually coded in the ICU, this might have been the last thing I ever made. Luckily, the Army me tough as nails. ;-)

    2. Holy crap! I knew it was bad but didn't catch or didn't realize it was that bad! Damn! I'm really glad you pulled through.

    3. Oh yeah, seventeen bones broke, thirteen of them were ribs. Nose, vertebrae, pelvis and (though we didn't discover it until February) right firearm were also broken in the fall. Life flighted and spent a week in the ICU. I didn't really tell but a few people until the guys on Tenkar's Tavern brought it up on one of his shows.
