Update - 17/11/2025
Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope you all had a great weekend! Lately I'm having quite socially busy weekends, I must say: on Saturday I had a friend's birthday party, and Sunday I got to watch one of my favorite childhood bands, Helloween! Still, I did manage to get some work done, and the Gravebound Edition of Ker Nethalas is really almost done! I will most likely start playtesting it this week, I suspect enemies are going to need a boost to their Health...
The vote for which KN cover to use seems to indicate you guys prefer the one with the logo on top; I really couldn't choose because both versions have their positives and negatives, so I'll just do what the majority seems to want and use the more standard layout for the cover.
I've also finished the Apocrypha zine for Choir of Flesh. It turned out being 36 pages long, a bit less than I had planned, but if I'm being honest, right now I'm not really in the mood to work more on the system. I just don't want to come near any version of a D20 game because people keep hating the Dynamic TN mechanic, and I'm really tired of explaining myself. Besides, sales haven't been great, I don't think I'll even recover what I've spent on Apocrypha, not any time soon... I love the setting, so of course if I see that it gains popularity I'll come back to it, but for the time being, I think this is it for CoF.
This means that I will most likely rewrite Sacrifice 2e and turn it into a Momentum Engine game. I'll start looking into it early next year, once I'm done with the KN revamp.
This week I'll keep tweaking Warlord Ascendant 2e, which is coming along super nicely thanks to all the feedback I'm getting, and continue working on the changes to KN. I'm really excited to share it with you guys, so be ready to see the beta version here on Patreon very soon!
I think that's it for now, have a great week!

Helloween is a favorite of mine. Saw them in the late 80s with Amyhrax and Exodus at the MTV Headbangers Ball tour. I Want Out is one of my go to songs even today. Hey, how about a Metal inspired RPG 😉
That's awesome! The concert was spectacular, they played all their classics (including I Want Out!).
The Choir of Flesh setting is just awesome. Hope sales improve!
Thank you! I had lots of fun with it, for sure. My type of setting!
Sorry to hear about CoF. I really like the setting. I need to find time to play and start posting videos to hopefully get more interest in it!
Thanks! I'm not sure why it didn't do that well so far, considering the KS was a big success.
I'm really glad to hear you're thinking about moving Sacrifice second edition over to the Momentum Engine. I've been looking forward to the game's release already, but this would make it so much better. Anyway, jut my thoughts on the matter. You do what you think is best. Good luck with all you do.
Thank you, I'm glad you like the idea! It feels a bit silly, considering all the work I put into developing a skill based D20 ruleset that I would enjoy, but I'm just inviting trouble doing so, apparently. So D100 it is!
