Update - 05/01/2026

Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope you all had a great start of the new year. I started the year with a light flu, it seems, nothing too bad, but annoying nonetheless. I haven't really done anything fun lately, other than watching Himeutsugi's brutal 30 hours Blackoath Marathon, which has them playing through basically all my games. I didn't manage to watch all of it for obvious reasons (I don't know how they survived), but it was a lot of fun watching what I could, and I'm still going through the bits I missed. I recommend anyone curious about my games to go check it out!

I have done great progress with getting Ker Nethalas' Gravebound Edition books ready, though. The core book is basically done, with the index being worked on, and the Vaelorian Codex book has been heavily edited and fixed, so I'll be uploading a new beta version soon. I also added the last batch of fixes to Warlord Ascendant 2e, and uploaded the print files to amazon and DTRPG, and did the same for Apocrypha. So yeah, things are moving!

The rest of my time was spent working on The Book of Masteries. After a lot of back and forth, I've ended up implementing quite big changes and additions to the book. As you already know, the Forge of Souls section has been moved to The Vaelorian Codex, so to compensate for it, I've added a new type of Mastery: the Soulbound Masteries. These are Masteries that you can only pick when creating a character, and cannot be learned after you've started playing the game. I think it adds a cool aspect of character building to the game! I'm also rounding up the number of regular Masteries up to 25, so that means we have quite a few new ones. Stuff like the Blood Adept or the Archivist, but there's more, you'll see! I'm having a lot of fun adding these new Masteries to the game, and I cannot wait to share them with you.

This starting week I'll continue working on getting all the Ker Nethalas books right, and I think I should be able to finally go back to Into the Warp & ruin. It's been about three weeks since I last wrote anything for the game, due to how focused I've been with all the Ker Nethalas fixes and additions. I still want to have the game done for next month, though!

So I think that's it for now, I hope you all have a great week!
