Damn, spent about 5 hours working on the D&D campaign tonight. No idea how far my players will get in it because there are quite a few conditionals. Could be 2 hours or 2 sessions.

@beardalaxy Let me guess. All your unused video game ideas went into that D&D campaign or this is just an excuse not to work on your game.

@icedquinn @xianc78 the D&D campaigns, both of them, are in the same setting as my game. They have built off each other quite a lot, actually. There are some cool places and ideas in the game that wouldn't exist if it weren't for the first campaign, and we wouldn't be playing D&D if it weren't for the fact I already had a world I knew very well, since I created it. D&D is really the only thing I get to do with my friends anymore, so I DM it.

Game is God's Disdain.
Campaign 1 is the sequel to the game's "bad end." It'll be turned into an actual game if I live long enough to get God's Disdain finished xD
Campaign 2 is the sequel to campaign 1 where the party goes to an ancient and cursed continent.

They all have the same motif of gods needing to be dealt with.

I ran campaign 1 first for my group, then started up campaign 2 for them after another guy DM'd a campaign for over 2 years. So that group is in campaign 2 right now.

I have another group too, and I'm running campaign 1 for them right now, albeit much more lighthearted since it's just a temporary thing we can't do as often so it's hard to get too invested.

@xianc78 @icedquinn I'll have to watch it! I was actually going to print out a bunch of pictures of him at work on Monday and tape them around my room. Sounds creepy but I know how hard he works on his games and how passionate he is, so they're kind of like motivational posters someone would have in an office xD

Truth be told I didn't WANT to work on the campaign today but I called myself a little bitch and just fucking did it. I could have probably fudged it tomorrow if I really wanted to since the ideas are up in my head, but it wouldn't have come out the same way. The hard part is just getting to it. Once I start it can be hard to stop.

@xianc78 @icedquinn i think a lot of my lack of motivation stems from the fact that i'm not doing anything new. i'm still working on the same game, i'm still working on the same campaign. i'll often want to get a jump start on my next game i have planned and have a bunch of motivation to work on that, but i won't do it because i know how that goes already. it's what prevented me from releasing the last 4 or 5 games i tried making. i have to keep working on what i'm already working on, especially because i've already put so much time, effort, and money into it, but since it's not something that's brand new it's hard to motivate myself to keep going.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 its hard to work on a project when nobody else cares about it.

@beardalaxy @icedquinn I know you have a busy schedule, but you NEED to learn to make sacrifices if you want to achieve your goals. Try to cut off things that you don't do for a living. That does NOT mean cutting of your social life. If D&D is your only social outlet, maybe try smaller campaigns or don't try to host two campaigns at once.
