April 2024

A successful launch!

It is a great feeling to launch the website and Facebook page for you, the fans of my content. I was receiving many messages asking, “Where can I find your adventures at?”, “Is your content available for download?” and I had to sheepishly say that I am sorry, but I do not have a site hosting anything. Well now, thanks to you all, I created a Facebook page and website for Cannibaal Publishing.

This is the “current” production schedule that I am following but from experience, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Spring Quarter

Spring is always busy due to finishing everything to ensure the Lakofka Archive modules are ready to be debuted at GaryCon as well as getting Ocean’s Bounty ready to deploy to the gaming masses. I apologize for missing some errors in Ocean’s Bounty, it is currently being fixed and should be back up and available for download in the next week and with some additional content!!!

Finishing loose ends 

I am trying to get some editing fixes done with some products to get them off the plate. Also trying to get back into the swing of things, writing is hard at times, on Curse on a Coastal Town which is my attempt at a mystery/horror adventure module and is set to release in the Fall 2024.

Even if you are just doodling in a sketch book or jotting down notes, you are doing something

Looking into the future

This year is going to be busy. I was approached to collaborate on a couple projects on top of my own projects which packed the schedule as you can all see. I am still working on my own projects but collaborative efforts and special projects come first and foremost before my own. The Underwater Atlas is still there sitting, waiting for me to return to it. Meanwhile you can check out some aquatic articles of mine published in The Grey Grimoire zine. Monster Ecology articles with stat blocks for new monsters for 1^st, 5^th edition and Castles and Crusades can be found on my most recent submissions.

Cartography

The writing has set me back on my map making proficiency. Inkarnate has released a new beta 2.0 and I have been wanting to get in there and check it out. I love making maps as some of you seen and I have a new technique to try out to simulate the old National Geographic underwater topographic maps from the late 60’s made by Marie Tharp from the US Naval Oceanographic Office. I am weighing the possibility of also making sets of battle maps for adventures or areas not as commonly seen.

Why I do this

When I started out, my writing was terrible, and I had no formal writing experience. The same with mapping, but I taught myself how to get better, asked others for advice and bounced ideas off of people. If you feel like you want or need to create something, do it. Don’t let others dissuade you, you have to practice, research, practice some more and keep at it. So, what have you done lately?
