I really thought about writing this list, but on some quiet reflection, most of the people don't deserve the attention or the fresh ammunition against me. But now it's a funny clickbait title behind a paywall, so that's a fun experiment to run.

At the time of writing, this is a community of 1,133 supporters of the webcomic SWORDS! Thank you!
We love having goals to work towards though, it helps keep morale up! I don't actually get a lot of support for what I do in my personal life... so small achievable milestone...

I already listed out a ton of things that are important to me and I want to get done, but I just want to do a quick temperature check from the community because it helps me get some focus.
Results are non-binding. Some things secretly block others.
I've pulled in some extra help for ...

I tried to start a TTRPG Swords: Pens & Papercuts a while ago, but a lot of things happened in between. People still seem to want something in this space though so I figure "Why not start from 0 and ask what problem people want solved in a fantasy TTRPG, before deciding if ...

[1 new Swords episode followed by chaos and then some Swordfishing game assets]
I have been packing and sending Sticker Club! Don't look too hard if you don't want to be spoiled by some of the stuff in it, but everyone is getting slight variations based on their answers in the form.

[1 new Swords episode]
I fell off Swordtember a bit - I don't think I can get 11 episodes finished in 3 days! The blood of NĂºmenor is all but spent, it's pride and dignity forgotten.
The latest episode is about arguing in bad faith on the internet, so naturally people turned the co...

Sadly my staycation is at an end and I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted. One big problem came up that demanded a lot of focus (because I can't have anything nice!!). But it's my fault too, I really needed some kind of main metric to keep building ...
