10/12/2023, A Creative Day

Writer: Shane ZellowShane Zellow

Hey, gang! I'm still here happily chipping away at my Mental Health Supplement. Because it was the first mental illness I unlocked growing up, I started with Anxiety. Pre-Big Bad Con I had ideas about how each mental illness would interact with ability scores. Now I have so many more ideas to work with. We've got combat. We've got skill checks. We've got Burnout. I'm super psyched.

TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)

1. I am grateful that my wife joined me on our morning walk so I could bounce around ideas. It's really the best brainstorming tool I have, to have a supportive partner who is a good listener.

2. I am grateful for my buddy, Chapman. I reached out to him about running a one-shot based on "All My Fantasy Children's" latest podcast about Fantasy Softball and the Sword of the Ruler. Chapman loves baseball so it seemed perfect for him to run a game based on the concept.

ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY

I made so much headway on my Anxiety Supplement that it doubled in length. like I said before I really got to expand the mechanics to include combat, burnout, skill checks, and a much more robust section on Roleplay. I may have over-explained the mechanic but that's what editing is for.

ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY

I'm always thoughtful about burnout (speaking of...) so I don't know if I want to push myself aggressively, but I do think I have it in me to start writing up preliminary notes about how I can expand Depression and ADHD based on the work I did today on Anxiety.

At this moment I don't have a whole lot on my mind. Sometimes it's just nice to have a simple plan and execute on it. On top of all this, I started putting out resumes again. Going to try a different approach and see how it shakes out. Can't hurt at this point, right?

All best,
Shane Zellow
