I tried to keep myself up but exhaustion of last three days caught up with me and I ended up with several naps today. Still feel tired as fuck, will most likely go back to sleeping after this post.
Talking with a friend it hit me just how bad official (and often famous) campaigns and scenarios for D&D are. Curse of Strahd basically starts you with bulky description of the area and a few over-tuned encounters against your first level players with nothing more than "good luck not killing your players". Nothing really useful for dungeon masters, just like books and other sources it all caters to players. As someone who ran D&D, Savage Worlds, Apocalypse World and a few other systems over the year, with addition of being a pretty good writer, I could probably write scenarios/campaigns that would be much better. perhaps I could even write them system-agnostic with special pages on which monsters to use in my favourite ones.
Yes, I'm feeling pretty good about my writing. I just noticed I recently got royalties for my books from Amazon, meaning I officially earned some money from my writing.
Other than that - my co-worker shared with me that he doesn't feel good coming back from holiday leave to his job. I guess I can't blame him. Project we work is is a failure on basic premise, like teaching cat to do your taxes. Every manager that was competent enough to notice this was fired by higher-ups and now we are mis-managed by horde of idiots. Like literally - one of the competent ones had to be replaced by five people, and those five still can't do together all he been handling alone. Today they started upgrading the product to newer version, and there are already problems on installation. They have already at least five issues before we testers even got to see new version. That's insane to me.
And yet the world keeps turning.
