Update - 21/04/2025

Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! i hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I spent it mostly working at home but I did get to go out Saturday night with friends and had a great time. At least I did, my wife got food poisoning and spent the whole Sunday in bed... That's what we get for exiting the house, haha. Jokes aside, she's fine, and also had fun, despite everything.

So the week went as expected, I worked on Riftbreakers 2e and Tales from the Green. Things are moving along very nicely in both fronts, and I'll be able to show you my progress with Riftbreakers very soon! I'm very excited to finally be able to play this, but I can't until I finish the Bestiary, and that's still a few weeks away. I'm wrapping up the exploration chapter right now, and next comes the crafting chapter, which is going to take me quite a while. As opposed to 1e, 2e will not have random magic creation rules; instead, you'll have a list of items you can craft, and the ingredients required. This makes it much easier, I believe, and it should feel less daunting and confusing.

Oh yeah, before I forget, Gwydion had the fantastic idea of creating a Solo RPG Day! He's in the process of organizing it all, so if any of you wants to help, don't hesitate reaching out!

In other news, the third Vaelorian Codex for Ker Nethalas is well underway, and I finally have the cover! What do you guys think?

I think it has an amazing old school feel, I love it! The zine will take a while to be done, but I should be able to share it with you guys soon because the text is done!

and I haven't forgotten about Machine Gods, I just haven't had the time to work on the Advanced Rules lately. I want to wrap up Riftbreakers 2e first, before going back to Machine Gods. This is mostly because making those books is honestly very fucking expensive, the art is several thousands, and since they're Patreon exclusives, I don't really recoup what I spend on them. Yes, the offset copies I'm making of the first two books (and eventually of any other future Machine Gods releases) help, but they don't even scratch the surface of what I spend on them. Not complaining, though, I knew that would be the case when I decided to make them Patreon exclusives, I just need to pace myself with the expenses. I don't want to spend all my savings on art for a game that will not give me any significant returns any time soon. At least not until I have other new stuff for sale, such as Riftbreakers 2e!

I guess that's it for now, I'm going back to working on Tales from the Green. Have a great week!
