I don't suppose there is anyone here who has dealt with game component production companies like GPI, Cartamundi, Ad Magic, or Shuffled Ink (I'm already familiar with Panda)?

@zzzjason I got another Blades question. How do you handle when a group splits up and literally goes on 2 separate heists? Does each one go through Heat, Payoff, and Entanglements separately? Do you keep one in Free Play but stick to the structure in the other? Have one session focus on one and the other session focus on the other?

Looks like a lot of my contract work is ending this month. Time to do the thing I struggle with: network and hunt for more freelance work. 😅

If anyone is looking for a copy editor or writer for games or fiction, drop me a line!

@zzzjason I got a meta-question for you about Blades in the Dark. How soon does a crew generally get into gang war status (-3), do you feel? And do players tend to feel prepared for it or do they general feel surprised that it happened?

*struggles to cut words

*reads contract to check deadline

*contract gives a +-1000 word leeway

*almost passes out due to relief

Gotta cut 1200 words from this draft so I'm listening to Game of Thrones soundtracks as inspiration

I did not expect as a copy editor that it would be a sans serif font (mixing up a lower case L with an uppercase I) that would end me.

Applying to a writing program and the thing that makes me hesitate is "am I being selfish and irresponsible? What if my freelance client needs me during that time?"

what is wrong with me?

@zzzjason Masks this coming Sunday at 1pm?

my friends are awesome, but I find it funny when we talk about playing a Star Wars rpg, they are not interested in the Force or the Rebellion or heroic adventures, but grim and gritty cyberpunk with slicers (hackers), cons, and dealing with morally compromised underground types

yay, game writing tests 😐

I've done so many, I wonder if I've written the equivalent of a novella by now

I found out that I've been feeling like crap because of a vitamin D deficiency

So for you work-from-homers, don't forget to leave your desk and go outside for some sun!

Can't tell if I feel like crap because of depression, working at my computer all day, or from the flu shot I got a few days ago

I find it really annoying that when I'm blocked on a piece of game design, writing, or plot point, the second I ask anyone, either out loud or on a chat room, I almost always answer my own question

@zzzjason hey, is it ok if we push back the time for Masks back to 3pm? Something has come up that morning and I need a little more time to deal with stuff.

Told my doctor that I have a history of depression and he said that my move to Oregon will make that even rougher 😐

@zzzjason hey, I have 1pm on the 17th for Masks. Is that the right time and date?
