You know how if you eat nothing but nachos and talk only about nachos and have a nacho license plate on your car and run America’s favorite nacho website that you get the reputation of being “that nacho guy” and all other aspects about you are forgotten? Of course you do, and I feel your pain. Don’t fret though, I’m going to tell you how to break out of that slump in seven little words: Grey Seas are Dreaming of my Death.
See, if you get known as “that nacho guy”, the first thing you can do to mix things up is release a RPG based on the works of cabin-boy-turned-sailor-turned-fitness-expert-turned-weird-fiction-author William Hope Hodgson on Kickstarter. You then have to hope that the Venn diagram of nacho fans and fans of turn of the 20th century weird fiction authors has enough of an overlap that your project funds (it has) so you can begin your side-side hobby of RPG gaming. It’s so simple that anyone can do it!
(If you haven’t guessed, I made a RPG about fighting giant squids and sailing the weed choked Sargasso Sea. It’s available to order on Kickstarter now and will be through March 2nd. If you were to check it out that would be awesome, and while it doesn’t have any nachos, the sea is vast and deep and who knows what you might find…)
