Update - 23/12/24

Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? I hope you all had a nice couple of days. I've already started with the family meetings, as I had one on Sunday, and this coming Wednesday I'll be meeting my mother and brother. Which means less work done, but it is what it is.

Last week was spent mostly working on Sacrifice 2e, getting the Character Creation chapter ready for you guys. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the whole thing completed in time, since I keep adding more details. I ended up adding a unique feature (or two) to each Occupation (unique abilities such as Cantrips for Arcanists, or combat stuff for the Wardancer), nationality tables, flavor tables tailored to each Occupation, lists of recommended Talents... There are seven Occupations, so it all adds up. I am really excited to playtest this game, though! I don't know which Occupation to begin with. My goal would be to try to make a hybrid melee/caster, so that means starting with Arcanist or Mercenary, for example, and then work my way towards the Adept (to be able to cast Incantations and perform Rituals) or Martial (to be able to use Combat Maneuvers) Talent, depending on how I start. My initial plan was for all Occupations to have access to Combat Maneuvers, since they're very fun, but then I thought it would be cooler to allow people to work towards unlocking those. This has created interesting alternative paths, like for example the Commoner Occupation being geared towards focusing on using Masterwork gear, since they'll not have any use for their Concentration or Stamina otherwise. I know this is confusing now, but it's all pretty straightforward, you'll see!

Other than that, I've work a little bit more on Across a Thousand Hollow Vaults, but not that much. It's really been a week focused on Sacrifice, so it's been fun. This week it will be more of the same, trying to get the Character Creation chapter as done as possible for you guys. Oh yeah, and if you missed it, Geek Gamers added Ker Nethalas to her end of the year best of 2024! Really cool!

I'm afraid that's all I have to say for the time being, so to those of you who celebrate, I wish you happy holidays! Try to get some gaming done between bites of food and seeing old friends and family!
