By tooth and claw!
1. I have written one story, this year I am gonna write more. My goal is 10 but I would be fine if I manage 5.
2. I am going to finally take my driver's test and be a fully-accredited menace on the roads.
3. At long last I am going to get into decent shape. I will get under 100kg, I will put on muscle mass, and I will have all the stamina and trim waistlines I can handle.
4. I am going to earn, some way or another, a minimum of one thousand British pounds through my writing by the end of the year.

I look forward to failing each and every one of these :v:

MAGE CURES PLOT
LET'S FUCKIN DO THIS!
  • 1. I finished 2 TG contests last year, this year I am gonna write a lot more. I will enter and finish at least 2 more TG contests.
  • 2. I am going to finally take my driver's test and be a fully-accredited menace on the roads. (stealing Fuego's)
  • 3. Since last March I've gone from 315lbs. to 265-270 lbs. This trend will continue, and I will maintain or increase muscle mass.
  • 4. I am going to earn at least $100 as a no-poo poo "game designer" by either making lists, or otherwise writing RPG stuff.
  • 5. I will learn loving photoshop and illustrator finally, and I will learn how to not be such a loving luddite when it comes to making art poo poo.
    5a. I will practice said art poo poo and offer my meager abilities to gently caress up fellow TGers' projects. :v: (if not this year, than next)
  • 6. I will attempt straight up fiction writing, I will have several short stories and maybe a novella this time next year.
  • 7. I will have the cutest and most awesome of the TG goonkids. (oh wait, I already have this one :smaug:)
  • 8. Edit: Drink a lot more.

I am so hosed. :suicide:

Rulebook Heavily
Sep 18, 2010

by FactsAreUseless
  • I will finalize and publish at least three games or game-related products of significant size, by which I mean "not Dungeon World Playbooks and other tiny-rear end crap." Supplements, board games or full games.
  • I will run C25K again, to completion, before half of the year is over, and then at least maintain that level of jog (doctors permitting, because heart issues are poo poo on top of poop).
  • I will write a full story to completion. Novella plus.
  • I will paint one hundred models.
  • I will make a thousand+ dollars from doing all of the above.

We'll see how it goes.

Oh! OSHA gonna make you serve time!
'Cause you an occupational hazard tonight.
- I will finish a full-length RPG or board game and put it on Kickstarter (might as well shoot for the moon).
- I will start trying to get into shape (I think by doing the C25K thing like Rulebook Heavily).
- I will make money by making games or by writing.

Should be easy! :suicide:

1. Finish six pet projects. (The same resolution I've made every year since about 2007. I've managed it... once.)
2. Get back on the fitness wagon and try not to fall off again.

You can have the last word, but I'll have the last laugh!
1. Get those ideas out of my head and publish a few RPG books for Pathfinder RPG and probably some other retroclones. And find a good artist so all my stuff won't be old-rear end Open Source stuff.
2. Sign up for Roll20 and start playing some drat games! Physical distance becomes a non-issue this way.
3. Start dating. Successfully.
4. Start learning Spanish.
5. Learn to draw.

Plaguing your posts with incidental music.
1. I am going to do something with the domain name/webspace I have set up. It is a great nerdy domain and it should do something more than what I'm doing with it.
2. I am going to write a short story and have it published by a suitably professional market, where suitably professional means they pay at least minimum rate by SFWA standards (as despite their social problems, I trust the metric they use there).
3. I will pet a cat.
4. Put my tax refund towards taking some classes if I get as much as I think I'm getting back (at least two grand).
5. publish more stuff that I can put my real name on (trad or self, either or)
