Hello, Hello, Kalu-Kalay and various other things. Alright, so the basics of what's going on.
Hello, apologies for the delay sometimes the weekend gets the better of me and I let my mind wander. So what's in the month of love and affection?
Life is pain and "I'll do it tomorrow" has been over a week. But hello, here we are, again.
Good news! We finished Somata and have begun work on the next Commission Project, In the Home of the Elven Queen.
Bad News! Flagbearer is around 75% complete due to MORE PROBLEMS! I personally blame all of you for making me realize that Flagbearer is a mess and revamping the entire thing from the ground up. It's effectively a full fledged REDUX at this poi...

Hello! Happy New Years and all the rest of that fun stuff. Been trying to get things sorted out this year and by that I mean playing too much MHW with my friends.
But that isn't to say I haven't been working on things. But I'll do a quick rundown of what's on the menu.
Hello.
It's me. Notepad Anon.
Welcome to the holiday season and the desperate attempt to fix my life I have forgotten to update a bunch of things because the secret is that I can NEVER fix my life. But that's why you're here right?
Let's do a quick little update across the board because I can do that.
Another month, another time, another poll to determine the infinite dance of death that Notepad must jig to. There are EIGHT potential options this time around and of the top FOUR will be selected to enact glorious SPRUG upon. Which sounds like a sex act the more I read it, but screw it, we're doing it live.
The Poll will run through the 18th of December. A bit longer, but holidays are holidays.
Hello, hello, it's me. Now, there's a few good reasons this is late and not a poll, so let me do a brief introduction and say "Sorry!" because this month was hectic. So let's do a brief rundown of the Notepad Experience Requiem. . .
Hello Hello, it's me, your resident Game Design Monkey.
October is busy as always and we had some bangers this month as I intended to BLITZ through some of the backlog of Videos while working on even more things. But hey, we're in a decent spot to end the year off on a high note.
Hello, we live in strange times because Patreon is weird and I've been grinding out things. October is always a strangely busy month, but let's do a quick catch up on the current state of affairs.
Kalu-Kalay, it's a me, the funny png man.
Progress, progress, progress. We've been making PROGRESS! And that's good. I think. Nothing too exciting to report, but just a lot of -stuff- is going on and I need to just hammer things out one at a time. But let's see where we are.
Hello, things got delayed and I got all messed up. Time is a meme and I am the meme man. Zombies & Ziggurats is in the Private Library as with everything else.
For this month, I've managed to get three Character Sheets done and I know that's way below "all of them" but, man, Graphic Design is NOT my passion. But regardless of that, we ha...

Hello, it's me, the Notepad Anon (tm) (c) (r) and its been a BIT HECTIC IN THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY!
For context, my computer's keyboard decided to crap out on me, the E, D, 3, and a few function keys stopped working. People I consulted believe that it's entirely due to a cable getting messed up internally. So I need to buy a new keyboard entirely, for a laptop, which is a bit more complicated. Luckily I did get an external, but I didn't have access to my actual PC for about a week, w...

Hello, I'm not dead.
No poll this month as I'm dedicating the entirety of next month to make character sheets. Yes, I'm going to make a Character Sheet for everything if I can (or as many as I can). It'll be a time consuming mess, but it'll be done.
As for other things. Earlier in the month I kind of blitzed through the Blue Archive TTRPG, it's "done" as much as I can muster the strength to deal with it. There's some wonky bits, but I went a bit hard on it with a lot of o...

Late as always but for good reason.
July happened, things were completed relatively well. Had to worry about other issues and we managed to get a few of thee SRD's wrapped up.
SO, the big important news: The Victors of the Poll:
The Unofficial Blue Archive TTRPG
(Entirely because of flagrant Voter Fraud, but hey I got paid so go me)
Crisis Averted, President Saved: 0014

A few returns, some odd ideas, tried to focus more on obtuse ideas this time around and cycle out some old ones. If you want to split your vote, just DM me on Patreon so I can divvy the votes up properly. If you're in the Consortium, don't forget to apply your LUX Vote as well.

2023-07-17 16:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt's getting worse every time.
Hello, yes, more PDFs. I haven't really made . . . any progress on Chimera Dreamers this month. But I am taking a break NEXT week off due to Media Week AND working on that PDF. It's 20 Pages, so I'm not too fussed about it.
However, we have more stuff and more stuff to PDF is fun.

Hello, hello, kallu-kalay how are we doing today. Glad to hear it.
So, what's the deal for July.
Good news, we're starting a new Commission Project (as you can see) and, outside some delays, shouldn't be a massive undertaking. Better news, more content this month as I work on some smaller videos. I am thinking of starting a "Sorta New" Series which is just Vidya Nightmare where I try to adapt certain vidya I've played to the tabletop. The likes of Dark Messiah and Bastard Bonds ar...
2023-07-01 06:43:40 +0000 UTC View PostKalu-Kalay, How are we doing today?
Another month, another PDF. Eagles & Rifles is coming along nicely, it's . .. 85% done and at this point it's a lot of bashing my head against a wall trying to fix up tables.
God I hate tables.
But each of these are PDFable, voting until the end of the month as usual.
Though I have been debating on doing some "Quick & Dirty" PDFs as a method to get more eyes on things. Though this is still early in the works as...

Hello! And welcome to June.
As a small update, my mother is recovering well from her knee replacement so the pace of things should get back to (relative) normality here soon. Turns out when you're the only person who can walk reliably, "doing things" is a bit of a crapshoot. As such I have been a bit .. . distracted lately. Hopefully this will rememdy things.
FIRST THINGS FIRST! You're not being charged for June as May was a bit of a wonky experience, it happens, its fine.

2023-06-01 05:52:41 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
As promised (much belated, but I digress) is the vote for the next PDF Project for June. Project Inchling has . . . progress, but I'll plan on getting a lot of it done during this week as I will be slightly indisposed.
But each of these are PDFable or I at least feel comfortable enough converting them into a PDF to make it work. Voting will end at the end of the month, so a little over a week.
2023-05-21 05:11:29 +0000 UTC View PostLink to the Private Library
As promised, here's the link to the "Private" Library for Patrons. Not exactly the most elegant solution, but it should work for now. I'll be adding in a few PDFs from the "Free Library" in there as well.
The next game on the chopping block will most likely be Eagles & Rifles, as that just ...

HELLO HELLO HELLO
Welcome to May everyone and I hope everyone is doing well. A few things to go over this month, but I'm promise I'm not dead.
As you see by the various images here, we're doing a bit of stuff here.
SO, off to the races I guess.

CURRENT DESIGN SCHEDULE
As always I give the Patrons a -bit- more time than expected on the poll, but it seems to be a wash for all of the positions.
The Winners came out to be SWORD BASTARDS // SCHOLA MALEFICARUM // SRD NIGHTMARE.
But I would be remiss if I didn't tell you all a few Commissions have entered the fray, but have no fear, they shouldn't be -too- complicated to do.
As for the current schedule, I've been plugging away at Notamons for a bit now, slowly and steadily tryin...
2023-04-12 04:26:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time again, time to manipulate democracy and aggressively make sure to subvert it. The poll will run until April 9th (1 Week).

These End of Month Roundups are always a bit later than the end of the month, perhaps I should just call these Four Week Roundups?
Regardless of the details, hello, March has come to an end and the Funny Day (tm) has ended as well. This month I managed to power through two projects as well as take a much needed break. It was nice.
Going forward into April I plan on doing more stuff, you'll also see that the Poll is up for the next set of games, only three this time as I do have a ...
2023-04-02 19:39:12 +0000 UTC View PostAh, the end of the Month roundup. Time flies when you're having fun (suffering).
February was busy as always, but I managed to push through some of the more problematic details and wrapped up production on THEOMACHY (which I still need to do the damn Character Sheet for) and Eagles & Rifles should be reaching its conclusion tomorrow (3/3).
Video wise we've had a fairly productive month, kind of mis-stepped on the last Classroom due to some scheduling errors and inability...

With THEOMACHY reaching its conclusion, we're starting back up on Eagles & Rifles, now rebranded to Hymne de l'Ogre which is just a pretentious way of saying "Hymn of the Ogre" or "Ogre's Hymn" the main characters.
I've done two streams of it and I want to die.
Send help.
February Roundup will probably be on Monday. Just want to update everyone on the progress of things, because I live in constant agony and you're along for the ride.
2023-02-25 23:28:54 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, time for a Start of the Month Roundup for everyone. Going to try and do these more consistently, but life is pain and we've had to deal with the OGL Crisis. But you're here for the Notepad (tm) Anon (tm) Experience (tm) Requiem (tm).

Yes, the "Super" Hero game about buff men fighting one another is complete, not . . . perfect by any measure, more haunting me in an attempt to find that idea "thing" to tie...

Hello once again to my (infrequent) updates. As you can see Zombies & Ziggurats has reached its conclusion quite well:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vdw2xjZ3bL4aoUD0uJh_N21LQhxVv7G-pnT3pHWZS9M/edit?usp=sharing
Overall, I think it needs some more robust . . . uh . . . "Something" to make the whole thing shine, but for the life of me,
The dungeon beckons as usual. Z&Z is ready to go and it's about playing Sadar's Holiest Warriors relobotomizing dead god's he killed.
Doesn't make any sense? Don't worry, you can summarize this game as Notepad's Old School Heretical School of Thought - Whoops! All Clerics Edition.
Because I am a radical game design anarchist, I've decided on a D100 Roll Over system while mimicking everything I can about OSR. There will be dungeons, there will be levels, th...
