The State of the Outhouse

 


Okay so now that I'm mentally to a place where I am comfortable working on putting material out again here is an update.

The next release I'm going for is Clandestine Societies Issue Two. I've got everything written for it and I'm going through and looking at it once again after having left it alone for over a year. Tidying up the writing a bit here and there and spotting mistakes. Got a few stock art pics selected for it but need to find a few more. 

I will not be using any fancy layout program. I'm going to do everything in LibreOffice and just transferring straight over into pdf. I don't have the patience or proper headspace to leap back into doing fancy layouts of any sort. Simple in approach is how I'm going to be doing things. 

It will likely be the last product I do that uses the WaRP mechanics in it. Not for certain as there are some things I've already written that I may use at some point. But I've found myself drifting away from that system and I don't think I can properly stat stuff out for it with no plans on ever playtesting anything.

After that I'm not sure what to focus on next. Will keep putting up blog posts and, once there are enough, compiling some of the better ones together as a release. I've even done a new Be A Better Player article (number 21) and I'm working on a second one. 

Once I push the new Clandestine Societies entry out the door I'll focus on what to do next as a release. 

I will not be using AI in any form. Most likely I'll be doing a lot of free stock art/images. If I make a few bucks extra I have my eye on a few pieces that are cost efficient from over on DrivethruRPG. My stuff makes very little money so I don't have anything near what it would take to hire an artist to do specific pieces. It is what is and the money just isn't there for that.

Be A Better Player goes Copper

  Over on DrivethruRPG our product "Be A Better Player Vol One" has become a copper best seller.  It's taken a while to achieve that first medal. Hopefully it will only go up from here.

Looking toward 2026

  It's a new year and I think everything is back on track once again. So what do I want to achieve with Truly Rural Productions in 2026. Well here are a few goals and ideas.  A website for Truly Rural up over on neocities. I do so much like the idea of people having webpages instead of just social media sites. Also I'm a big fan of the 'wild west' era of the internet. So with neocities I get that chance. I've been self teaching myself HTML again, since I've forgotten most of it, and running a page for a local gaming group over there. Now I've started on one for Truly Rural . It's still a work in progress. More Clandestine Societies. My goal is to get at least two more issues out this year. One of them being cult themed.  A cyberpunk release like Clandestine Societies. While the random chart collection was fun I don't want to just do charts. So I'm going for that quick short ezine type of thing. Just trying to decide what to call it. Where CS has ...
