Yesterday I launched the Kickstarter for my game a second time. The first one was three years ago and failed.
There were a number of reasons. I set an unrealistic goal and didn't have a following. I still don't. One day in and I have only two pledges. Perhaps its because over the last three years of trying to survive I still have a small following. I play every week and have hundreds of sessions on YouTube but its not enough.
My game doesn't piggy back on the success of others. It doesn't have magic or Orcs. Its not fun and colorful. Its honestly not for children. (Although I have played it with my niece and nephew. Watered down obviously.) I made the game for myself. But it would be nice to make a living on the books, novels, merch and media that I have. They say keep trying but I am getting tired.
Right now I am living out of my truck trying to survive. My savings is almost gone and I don't know where or what to do...
I have always felt alone. Even having grown up with a large family. Most are married and have kids but here I am. Writing something no one will read or see. Surrounded by hills and the setting sun...

Bored with the daily strife of high school, I spent my time creating a post-apocalyptic TTRPG. Follow me as I launch the game, a series of novels and short stories.
