Looking Ahead at 2025

I've had a few people reach out and ask about the print status of Apothecaria expansions like Familiar Shelter and Dance of Seasons and I figured it would be a good idea (and hopefully exciting for you lot) to see what my intended release schedule for 2025 looks like.

As is always the case, things might change and some of these releases are dependent on things like conventions and other releases going well. And that no big life costs come up like they have been for the past couple months.

If everything goes to plan then 2025 should look a little something like this:

March

Wolf & Fang Detective Agency: The God Thief
Just in case you missed it, the paperback edition of Wolf & Fang came out this month! You can pick it up via blackwellwriter.com.

May

For Small Creature Such As We Kickstarter Fulfillment
Once FSCSAW has hit fulfillment I'll be releasing print copies of Love & Lust, A Guide To Fauna, and War! Each of these expansions are about 100 pages and as lovingly crafted as the base game.

Golf Quest
My goal is to get Golf Quest out around about the same time as FSCSAW and I'm excited to share our silly pencil flicking golf rpg with you all.

June

UKGE
Funds permitting, I want to have print copies of Our Once Proud House available on the stall and will have it available for sale on my website afterward.

There may also be a few other zine games lurking in the wings hoping to get launched at UKGE but that's a longshot so I won't get your hopes up just yet!

July

Dance of Seasons
This one is a bit of a doozy so it'll most likely have to wait until after UKGE unless we get a sudden windfall and can afford to print it in the middle of FSCSAW and Golf Quest fulfillment.

August

Shirefolk Kickstarter
Shirefolk, my delightful solo/ competitive journaling RPG about building up your home in the hill while making money doing oddjobs and spreading gossip about the other shirelings, should land on Kickstarter about this time to help fund the print run.

I've learned my lesson from the FSCSAW kickstarter and I won't be coming back to crowdfunding unless I've got a finished product that just needs help getting over the finish line. Right now Shirefolk is more than 100 pages and has nearly all the art in place so it should be fully finished by August.

September

By the time we get to September, all my big projects should be out of the way and I'll be quietly working away at things like DELVE: Reforged, Retronauts, CONTAIN, the Witch Market, Spirit Ranger and hopefully be into the editing phase of Wolf & Fang Detective Agency: Dead Again.

October

I want to get Bogle's Night and Familiar Shelter in print in time for Halloween.

November - December

Who knows?! Maybe I'll actually take a break for a little while which sounds well deserved after looking at my plans for this year XD

Or maybe I'll take us all by surprise and put together a kickstarter for all the weird little surprise projects that I make through the year. I've already got 3 in the oven so maybe some sort of collection Kickstarter would be the best way to get them out into the world.

Thanks for reading!

Let me know in the comments what project you're most excited for :)
