Update - 20/10/2025
Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope you all had a great weekend. I spent it working on Warlord Ascendant 2e, and little else. I'm finally done with the bestiary chapter, and I'm currently working on the last chapter, the Gear & Spoils of War chapter. This will take me some time because I've added a new Trait system to gear that is activated during combat, which means I must come up with tons of unique traits! Once that's done, I will move on to the appendices. I'm still hoping I'll be able to have it all done before the month's over, but I might have to leave out the appendices in the version of the book I'll share with you next week (which will be a fully playable one). David is working on all the gameplay sheets, so let's hope he has the Warband ones ready to go next week as well! I think he will, for what he's shown me so far.
In other news, my dog's surgery went great, and despite having around 100 staples across her whole body, she's already back in shape, running and barking at everything. This week they'll give me the lab results, so let's hope the tumors aren't the aggressive type and that this is the end of it.
I'm afraid I don't have much else to share with you this week, it's one of those periods when I'm totally focused on getting a game done, so there's nothing else going around. I'm very happy with all the changes I've done to Warlord Ascendant, and I'm dying to get a game going. I think I'll probably first give the new Risen Warband a try, and once I'm done with the Lone Wolf rules, I'll make my version of Guts and go kill whole armies alone! Can't wait!
Have a great week!

Glad to hear your dog is doing better! I have played Warlord Ascendant and just wondering what the biggest change will be in the new version? Your changing combat right? Will the Management and Battle phases be the same?
The biggest change is the ruleset: it's going from D20 to D100. The rest are all additions. The game remains the same, there's just more of it, and the addition of Strongholds and towns for you to manage, as well as the Lone Wolf mode, and the Active Enemy mode. So if you like 1e, you're going to love 2e.
Glad to hear your dog is doing well after surgery! One of my rats recently had to get a massive tumor removed, so I know how scary it can be. She hated the meds as well so I had to sneak them into her food haha, all is good though. Hopefully your dog is handling it better!
Oh man I love rats, but they're so smart that you grow attached to them super quickly, and they live for so short, I can't handle the emotional trauma. My dog is doing great so far, she'll have the staples removed later this week!
Yeeeeah, glad to hear that your pup is doing great!
Thank you!
