Christmas

Posted by Dalekhead — GNAW Gaming Resources

I swear the calendar is messing with me. One minute I''m finalising layout spreads for Allarea: Veins of Iron, Blood of Fire, the next I'm knee - deep in coding tweaks for the new Downtime System on the PbP server... and suddenly someone's put the Christmas lights up in town and now I can't focus on anything.

Truth be told, all three have my brain doing cartwheels. The Kickstarter goes live next month, my heart rate increases just typing that. Months of writing, designing, testing, panicking, rewriting, re testing... all funnelled into one glorious Launch button. The Downtime System, though? That’s its own little miracle. Characters can now train, craft, scout, brew, brawl, scheme, and generally cause structured mischief between scenes. It's already shaping up to add real personality and momentum to campaigns, and I can't wait to see what chaos the party unleashes with it.

And then there's Christmas. The season of warm drinks, cosy jumpers, shiny dice sets wrapped under the tree, and the deep internal need to watch twenty hours of festive films while painting miniatures that definitely won't dry in time. It's my favourite time of year and somehow it feels like the perfect backdrop for launching something huge.

So yes, I'm buzzing. From every direction. Kickstarter countdown, server upgrades, festive joy - December is going to be wild.
