Some plans

One thing I think will be an interesting adventure is to just go down my roster and blurb out some stuff about characters. I put most of the names that I've Been Known by in my intro, but some of them are more than just handles and are characters that I've run things with in one form or another, and taking time to sort out and categorize some of them would be a neat way to prime the pump to do more with some of them.

There's also a non-zero chance that I'll be doing a bit of a long-winded rant about a coworker because it'll be very helpful to my task of maintaining Customer Service level composure around the guy if I have a chance to be as brutal as I want somewhere it'd never get back to them. Will be good pressure relief because Oh Man there are some things that do not spark joy.

As a tangent to the first one, I've been playing a lot of Library of Ruina and Soul Sacrifice lately and have been tempted to try and put a character in one of those settings and play around with things, but an explanation of why those settings hook me so well would be fun. They share elements of "We're taking common fairy tale or folklore things and twisting them", but they aren't just making it gritty and violent. Red Hood/Big and Will Be Bad Wolf is practically an essay on their own.
