Update - 18/08/2025
Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope the summer is treating you well (well, for those of you in the northern hemisphere at least) and that you had a nice weekend. I spent mine working, didn't really do anything worth mentioning. Last week I broke a tooth, but I was really lucky to find a dentist quickly, and that they managed to reconstruct it, instead of having to pull it out. And that's about the most exciting thing that has happened to me this summer, haha. Oh well, we also got the news that my aunt's cancer didn't reach her brain, so it definitely improves her chances of surviving it. Overall it's been a good week on the personal level!
Yesterday I was blessed by the gods of randomness and Salvage & Sorcery was picked as the Deal of the Day on DTRPG. I guess this proves how it's really just random, and that I was simply very fucking unlucky last time, since I had to wait a whole year for one of my books to be picked as their Deal of the Day. And now, just two months later, another one gets picked! I think it would make more sense if they had some system to guarantee you can't go 6 months without a Deal of the Day, and that it can't happen twice during that period, but I don't know if that's even possible. In any case, I'm happy cause getting chosen as Deal of the Day on DTRPG means you sell in a single day the same amount of books you would in a week or two (across all titles, not only of the chosen book), so it's definitely a blessing.
In other news, in case you missed it, Gwydion recorded another video for the official Blackoath YouTube channel. I really need to show Warlord Ascendant some love, since I think it's a really cool game.
So last week I finally finished the bestiary chapter for Choir of Flesh, and I've started working on the gear and loot chapter, which is the last one. I'm confident I'll have it all done for this week, so I can guarantee you guys will get the finished game next one! It will most likely be missing some art, but Penny is working super fast, so who knows, maybe it's truly done by then. I'm going to start proper playtesting this week, I'm so excited to play it! David has already started working on the character sheets, and I hope it doesn't take him too long to have them done, since this time around we don't really need anything that complex.
And I think that's it for this week, as usual, I'll keep you posted of anything exciting happening!

Sounds like good news all around. I didn’t get a chance to comment on the last blog but I was impressed with the art in choir of flesh. I have an unrelated question about DriveThru and creators because I’ve always been curious about how the Deal of the Day was conducted. When creators upload a product is there a selection you make that allows it to be featured as a deal of the day and do you get to select the percent that the discount will be? I’d like to know how that works. Thanks.
Glad you like the art for Choir of Flesh! It's going to have LOTS of it, you'll see soon! As for DTRPG's Deal of the Day, you get to submit 1 title. You can choose the discount, up to 50%. Then it enters a pool, and it gets selected randomly.
