People would have mucho love and respect for my little campaign and i would have been able to make a months salary in 1998 if i could have boxed it up in a leaflet and sold it to one of those companies selling pre-packaged adventures.

Also it would have been an expression of my earlier self escaping into reality in the form that it was in a way less hostile way then what eventually did happen.

I think that's the better alternate universe, I can't make excuses for the present one. That could have encouarged me to be a more creative force in the universe.

hehe I am escaping the pandemic with this hobby. This stupid squire is a like, un-useful, deck searching card idea for warriors. But I just like the drawings.

I wish I could say I drew them but I just found them online hehe, I drew the border though, and combined these two separate drawings [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well we can consider this picture halfling half inched.

Jibartik you always have wonderful projects to present, I love how you are kind enough to share them with us.

I’m sorry you had to lose your DnD stuff Mag. If it is any consolation, being largely constructs of the imagination, you’ll always retain a fragment of them to share as stories.

Here is my dwarf 7 barbarian/3 bear warrior, Fimbulfambi, that I was playing in a 3.5 Age of Worms campaign when Covid hit. I had always wanted to play a grapple character, and he was just starting to become pretty functional when shit got weird and ended our role play sessions. I was a crowd control monster. When I went into rage I could transform into a bear! He can be rocking some leather armor, with steel armor spikes, and welding a +1 dagger of frost.
I have his backstory all typed up that I can share, but it might be a bit long winded heheh.
Also, share some of the rules for your card game!

Hehe, yep. Barbearian was what my group usually called me.
And on the subject of the op, it does feel like nerd culture, basically any fantasy and Sci-fi, has been appropriated and stripped of its essence to make it more marketable for the main stream. Maybe I’m just getting old though...

It won't be reborn until it dies. And it no longer becomes a profit driven business and becomes a hobby again.

The things that made this genre great were that it was full of hobbiests who all were well versed in prolific arts and crafts through DnD and LOTR.

It won't happen again until we get a new silmaril.
I agree. Private studios with some angel investing is what it is needed. Pantheon is the best example of this attempt, but its been in development for like....10 years? Dying gasp of a passion project.

Shareholder interest companies tear the passion out of game development. Really glad I didn't end up in the industry, seems to be a chew up and spitout type culture these days when you read the interviews on former game devs.
