Update - 01/09/2025

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another weekly update! I'm basically recovered now, even though I'm still not feeling at 100%, so thank you for all your support last week! As you saw, I managed to finish Choir of Flesh, and your response has been absolutely amazing! I think this is the best received game so far, which I didn't expect. You guys have already released videos, blogs, and started playing it and asking questions about it on the Blackoath Discord, and I'm loving every minute of it. If this is a representation of how the game will be received once I release it, it's going to be fantastic! I do need this game to do well and at least recover what I spent on it cause I went completely mad and spent way too much. It's also the fact that it ended up being 230 pages long, instead of the 100 or so initially planned, which means lots of more art... For its size, this is my most illustrated game to date. Riftbreakers 2e is going to have more illustrations overall, but it's also a larger book.

So what's next? Well, I'll keep updating CoF; my idea is to have the missing elements (ToC, bookmarks, etc.) this week, and Penny is slowly but surely finishing all the illustrations. In the meantime, please keep all the feedback coming, it's super useful! Once we're all happy with it, I'll send the files to Glynn so he can prepare them for Amazon/DTRPG, and I'll release the game!

Once CoF is properly finished, I'll wrap up Warren of the Ratkin, which is going to be September's Patreon release. I have José Antonio working on the art already, but as usual you guys will get the mostly artless version first, since he isn't the fastest. I want to get back to Across a Thousand Hollow Vaults this month, but I have so many little details to fix before that:

• I need to make sure CoF is perfect before releasing it

• I need to push a new Riftbreakers 2e update, since there are tons of fixes in my to-do list, and new art as well

• I'm working on refining some stuff from the core Ker Nethalas book. I don't want to release a new version of Ker Nethalas (it's too soon for that), so I'm working on just revamping certain sections within the book itself, without changing page numbers or layout too much. Just making the game clearer and easier to use, overall. Mostly a change for new players, if you're familiar with the game you already know how to play it.

• I really, really need to finish Tales from the Green, since it's been essentially done for a month. I just need to write 20 stat blocks and that's about it. I don't know why I'm stretching it so much...

So as you see, I have lots of things to do. And of course, I have Frostbound Exiles almost finished, and Sacrifice 2e as well... This is going to be a very busy end of the year! Oh, and did I mention I'm working on a bestiary for Ker Nethalas?

So anyway, this week I'll be really busy as you can see, working on those items on my list. I hope you all have a great one!
