I Could Have Done Better
I didn't complete as many of the goals I laid out for myself as I hoped. I'm not disappointed in myself, I'm just seeing how I misjudged how much I could finish in the time allotted.
Near the end, my blog posts were rather truncated and probably a bit boring to read.
As far as the spirit of the challenge, I did less DIY and more adapting and converting of pre-written modules.
I Could Have Done Worse
I worked on RPG stuff 30 out of 33 days from September 1st to October 3rd and every day I worked on RPG stuff I also blogged about it.
The area on my campaign map where we left off the campaign last year is much more fleshed out and three out of four cardinal directions (from where they are located) have something nearby ready for the players to stumble upon and interact with if they choose.
Although I had hoped to produce more original material, thus adhering more closely to the DIY nature of the challenge, I did the work that I thought would be immediately useful in my home campaign. That just happened to be adapting/converting a couple of modules I had previously chosen for placement on my campaign map near where the PCs are located and likely to explore soon.
Parting Thoughts On My #DIY30 Experience
Participating in this RPG blog challenge was beneficial to me in that I felt I had to do RPG work everyday no matter how I felt or how much time I had to write/map/design in a particular day. Working on my campaign everyday illuminated some of my writing inefficiencies and time-wasting tendencies. Although I didn't complete as much as I wanted to when I set goals at the beginning, I still accomplished a fair amount of work and when I go back to running this campaign, I'll feel more confident about the encounters and adventure hooks that are available to the PCs in this area of the map. I would like to do #DIY30 again, maybe early next year!
New Mini-Challenge for Myself
The goals that went unfinished will be rolled over into a new challenge I've set for myself. After completing #DIY30, my blog was at 82 posts. So the challenge for me will be to get to 100 posts by the end of 2018. That will require 1.6363636364 posts per week until the end of the year. Lol, or two posts a week most weeks. #MOCKORANGECAIRN100 There, it even has a fucking hashtag now!
If You're Reading This I Want to Hear From You
Did you participate in #DIY30? What did you think of your experience? Why are you reading my blog? What are you getting out of it? What did you eat as a snack at that last game you DMed or played? No snacks? Are you fasting, lol?
