Happy Spooky Month! I’m still so damn shocked we’re this deep into Autumn, still feels like September in a way. But regardless, it’s time to get deeper into the process… and talk about some stumbles.

Internet Issues, Prolonged pause on Streaming

So, sadly when looking at the tech-side of the area, the internet for me is not stable nor enough bitrate to substane itself. At best it gets CLOSE to 100 mbps, but also leads to late night internet drops. While I wanted to try the initial plan for streaming post-Twitch leave, it looks like that will be on the back burner.

One-Shot confirmed: The Stolen Generation

Within the depths of the forest, lies a town akin to ones within the Old West times. On this particular day however, dark cloulds loomed over the town, the bark that each building was constructed out of seemed stained in shadows and greys, the road through town converted into mud. You and a few others are here for one reason: Find the Stolen Dragonborn Eggs.

Finally! After several months and chipping away, I finally got a solid One-Shot cooking and it’ll be ready around November 13th. At the time of writing, I’m waiting on players I’ve reserved spots for to respond, if no response is given I’ll have to either delay it or open the players spots up publicly. I’m a little excited, I can’t lie about that.

This will also be done in my Discord server via Stage so people who might be interested can watch/listen.

No OC Ballot for 2026

After a 14-year streak, I don’t have the energy nor proper time to fill this out. On top of that, no new OCs were created this year so that’s put on hold. It sucks but at the same time it’s better to prep up for next year rather than to rush for this year.

It’s not all doom and gloom as I’ve added more lore and even more races/species to my overall lore. Hopefully when it comes back to the OC Ballot, it’ll be right back to the creative boost.

Let’s get back to Art

Never thought the break in June would last this long, but here we are. With a combo of burnout, tech issues and moving, refiguring out a proper workflow, and just a need to relax, bloody hell it’s been something. But now I need to work on new art, there’s been one “What If” I’ve been dying to do but just have not been able to do.

There are parts of the process that will need to be rebuilt still but I’d rather at least keep trying than give up, even with my tired state. Here’s to at least one art piece before the end of the month, even with half a month left

Trick or Steam Reminder

A good old reminder that I do a yearly “Trick or Steam” event on October 31st.

• type “!TrickOrSteam” in General for a free random game
• 1 PC/Steam game per person

I still have quite a few from years of Humble Bundles and other bundles.

IRL Update: Fulltime Work needing MUCH more focus.

I do prefer to give you guys at least an update of what’s going on IRL. In short, busier work and handholding people that should have the knowledge. The only times I get days off I’ve fought to keep fridays for DnD/TTRPGs, but it’s majorly been sleeping to repair the lack of it + the need to do things like groceries and appointments. It adds up everytime I’m blindsided and has had me cut down on art and other things. It’s thanks to the TTRPGs I’m still feeling grounded in the creative space.

I don’t think much is going to change until late-spring but we shall see and I’ll keep trying and finding ways to make the time and energy better spent.

Conclusion

There is a bit of a downward slide but I want to keep getting better. It will take time to climb up but I’m still determined. Let’s just try to get this one art piece done and keep on trucking after that.

In the meantime, have a great Halloween everyone!
