Lost for some years in Roleplaying

 What started out as taking a short break from Writing became an extended romp through self soothing and self care, running rolepalying games for almost 4 years.

I started with Twilight:2000, and that fizzled out after 6 months, my fault as I got too focussed in the maps, and the tactical engagements and less story.

I then Started a Cyberpunk Red campaign, and that game me a while lot of ideas for writing, and it was so well recieved, I ended up running two sessions in a week, shared campaign setting two different campaigns.   That lasted about 16 months, until 2023.

Spring 2023, I started a Star Trek Adventures campaign that went for about 30 sessions, the problem was I was not making it weekly scenatrios, un effect it became a long drawn out sandbox, with lots of cool roleplaying but players started to drop. Near the end, I started a second campaign different ship, set in a slightly different time period.  More espionaage than ship stuff.

But the players lost confidence in me, and I was distracted by the purchase of a house, and renovation. We wrapped everything weith the idea that I might probably return to it, but I also told everyone that I wanted to really go back to writing as my kids were growing, we needed the extra money.

A few months ago, I joined Threads by Meta, and recontacted my editors all over the net, mostly from Fiverr.

I set a release date of Mar, 2024 for my debut Novel Merchant of Vision. Making progress on that.  

I have been working on a vast map for the setting, updating the map I had done years ago.

So, slow progress on all of this.
