Update - 17/02/2025

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was fine, on Saturday I was suppose to go and have dinner with a close friend but his father unfortunately passed away that same day, so we obviously cancelled. Since I was feeling down, I must admit I just spent Saturday playing PC games, something I never do. I was checking out Mind Over Magic, a game I bought quite a while back but that I never actually played more than five minutes. It's pretty fun and challenging!

I have been, of course, also working very had on Machine Gods the whole week. The Voidspire Territories book is coming along really well, and I'll be done with the writing this week. I've also started working on the layout, and I'll have it ready for you guys next week, guaranteed! It should be around 60 pages long, I think, which is what I was aiming towards, so I'm happy! I've worked really hard on this one, and it's the type of content that takes me the most to produce, so I really hope you guys like it. There should be a lot of directly playable content for you guys. As I mentioned before, there will be no new rules there, just the region of The Voidspire Territories for you to explore. All the new rules will come in the next book, Advanced Rules.

Speaking of advanced rules, I've come up with some really neat detailed overworld exploration procedures, adding an additional (and optional) step to it. It essentially consists on you trying to find anything potentially hidden in a map square. It's quick and easy to use, and I think it's actually fun! I'm also contemplating on adding a lifepath character creation system, but I need to see if it's a good match for what I'm planning on adding to characters. I'll keep you posted!

This week I'm hoping to be able to finally upload Karum Station Blues to DTRPG, so I can order the PoD proof copy. Fingers crossed! I'm still getting new art from Simone for Machine Gods, new art from Juan Antonio for The Book of Masteries, and new art from William for Ballark in Flames. So as always, art remains the main bottleneck, haha.

Oh, and before I forget, Richard and I have been working on the Ker Nethalas quickstart, and I think it's going to be great! This will be a free PDF available to everyone, but I'm planning on adding a PoD option to it, and you guys will of course get at-cost codes for it. I'm excited! It really simplifies a lot of the game and it adds a whole new Domain to explore, so I'm expecting even veterans wanting to snatch a copy of this!

And that's it for now, I'm going back to the Voidspire Territories. Have a great week!
