Update - 22/04/2024
Hello, and welcome to a new weekly update! How was everyone's weekend? I spent it writing, playing some guitar, and finally finishing the Fallout TV show. I'm not a big fan of the setting, but the show was absolutely fantastic, and I'm excited to see it's been renewed already. Have you guys watched it?
In other news, I finally wrapped up Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate! Or at least for now, I might return to it to add some more locations, it depends on how the Kickstarter goes. This week I'll work on the layout, and as soon as it's done, I'll give you guys access to this WIP version. As you know most of the art is still missing, although I have continued commissioning some pieces here and there. I'm really happy with how the game turned out, and although I'm sure I'll tweak and change a few things from here to release, I think it's in a good place. I will do some more playtesting in the upcoming weeks.
This week I didn't work at all on Across a Thousand Hollow Vaults. Instead, I continued with the Riftbreakers revamp, which is going slow but at least now I know exactly what I want to change and add (yes, I'm adding some new material). I know I said I would release ATHV before this Riftbreakers revamp, but I'm inspired and it's easier for me to work on something if I actually want to do it, instead of forcing myself. Not that I don't want to work on ATHV, I'm really eager to do so, but Riftbreakers is just sitting there, all I need is to dedicate a few hours to it and we'll have it done. I've also commissioned a new cover from Felipe Faria. Here's the sketch he sent me two days ago!
Looks cool, right? Can't wait to see it finished!
Last week I also released the Ker Nethalas zine, and so far it's being a great success! I'm still amazed by how much people are loving the game. It's reached Gold status on DTRPG already, even! So yeah, it's fantastic!
So this week I'll be working on the layout for RHBF, as I said, and continue with Riftbreakers and ATHV. I can't wait for you guys to see the text-complete version of RHBF! What do you think, is it going to be a success? I'm hoping it is, I'm trying something new here (science fantasy setting, no skills), and even though it has plenty of procedures, I think it's very easy to jump into it. And it has a couple of original mechanics and a fun lore, so let's hope it resonates with people the same way Ker Nethalas has!
That's it for this week, have a great one!

Wow I love how the cover is turning out! Amazing job from Felipe Faria!
Thanks! He's doing a great job, yeah
Congrats on the success with Ker Nethalas. I've watched videos of people comparing it to some top contenders - D100 Dungeon, 2D6 Dungeon, Four Against, etc. Pretty impressive. While I haven't gone through Ker Nethalas yet, the dark grittiness is my kind of environment. I just ordered printed copies of the rule book and zine so this can hit my gaming table.
Yeah, it's been really awesome to see it already included as one of the go-to dungeon crawlers!
