Hello again, You nice game developers and interested gamers!

Licensed from FreePik.com

Before I go on my normal routine rambling ways, I just gotta say, I feel "More than Good" right now! <3  "Thank you for entering your project(s) into the Queer Games Bundle < 3", rings sweetly in my ears.  <3 The sweet sound of Queerdom *Smiles Glitteratily* <- That means that I sent an application to be part of the Queer Games Bundle, with certain RPGs, that I've made.

And I got another one coming before I can start doing my usual routine. So hold on to your seats. Something else is coming on your way. :-)  O'Hoy Ahoy Everybody!  I've released a revised Carpe Diem, Carp Briem RPG, to the free waters and it's now swimming on waves of the Internet. Go & surf the waves with the new and even better, Carpe Diem, Carp Briem <3 https://krisseaappenatuominen.itch.io/carpe-diem-carp-briem


Talking about the moments and seized moments. Unfortunately, I had that "pretty preachy day" yesterday and the day before. Some folks apparently want that every single RPG must be made using one mold. And if your game is something else, it is not even a game, or it is somehow sh*tty in another way. For some odd reason, those kinds of "preachy" peeps decided to comment on my games, in that "preaching the Right Way of RPGness" -way, on various platforms. It was two pretty irritating days. I honestly admit it, I did cry. Not a river or a pond, but I really did cry.

But never mind that, because today, I shook my feathers and thought, whatever, and kept doing things that pleases me. Which is reading, planning, writing, developing, reviewing, etc. roleplaying games. And gateway games, too. Also, walking, communicating in nice openminded discords, and talking and laughing with my friends and other Loved Ones. And now I have had a very Peachy day.

So, I gotta remind you all, that as a game designer, writer, artist, reviewer, publisher, or even a player, one of the most precious things is, your mind. Keep in mind that it is good to get enough sleep, enough rest, enough fun and laughter, and in general, to live your life. It is very important to remember to keep care of your Mental Health. 

After all, if our brain is foggy all the time or it otherwise does not function, it ain't nice. At least to me, my Brain is one of the most (if not the most) important tools that I do own. So all Good People Out There, remember to take care of your brain(s) and your Mental Health of yours. This is also a reminder to myself, too. I like to keep my mind in my head. And not out swimming ;-)

That's me(last year) in the lake on a lovely winter's day

Talking about swimming, I want You to know two things. The first one is that one of the things that keep my mind healthy is winter swimming. As pictured above. Yes, that is me in the picture. It was taken last year on our winter swimming trip after the training session in the gym. The second thing that I wanna tell ya, is about the Carpe Diem, Carp Briem game of mine. 

Now that the revised Carpe Diem, Carp Briem (or as the friends of the game call it, Carpe Briem) is out and about and swimming, I've started to sketch some ideas about forth-coming supplements for the game. Yeah, and Yes, I am planning some more material for the game. After all, it has gained so much love from all the people that have heard about the game, it would be very stupid not to plan something for the bright future of the game.

There are also other gaming titles and supplements that I am sketching, drafting, and planning. Especially, I am once again, taking part in cool game development jams on itch.io. As usual, I am trying to have fun with the game design. And not to stick to the most used and obvious ways to make games. I mean, life is way too short to think too much about what others want from me or from the game. It's a great game if it's a great game for me and for the people I am gaming with it. If it pleases others, too, that is more than great, but it is not the main focus of my design.

But yeah, this time I swam a bit in the dark waters and I babbled and raved on a lot, again. So it is time to tune out and say goodbyes!

C ya, next time!

wishes, Krisse Tuominen.
