Update 02/02/2026
Hello, and welcome to another weekly update! I hope you all had a great weekend. I spent mine working, since I have lots of things to do! I'm back at working on Ker Nethalas stuff, this time revamping the Quickstart rules so that they match the Gravebound Edition changes, and preparing for what comes next. I'm a bit conflicted as to how to release the new batch of Gravebound Editon updates (the core rulebook, the Book of Masteries, and The Vaelorian Codex). Ideally I would release them as soon as each one of them is done, but that would mean that I first release the core rulebook, while still having the older Vaelorian Codex zines and the older Book of Masteries available, which is not a good thing since I know people are going to be confused by it. So I might just wait until the three books are completed, and upload them all at once. That does mean the whole line of books will be delayed until summer, most likely... No ideal solution, here.
Last week you finally got to see a glimpse of my fabled Empire Undying. I hope you like what you saw! I really think it's a pretty cool setting, and am excited to continue working on the game. For now, though, my focus is on getting all the Ker Nethalas stuff fixed and ready to go, and continuing my work on Into the Warp & Ruin. As soon as the Quickstart is done, I'll go back to writing the locations for Into the Warp & Ruin. I have one finalized, and I want a total of four different ones. These are pretty large areas that you'll visit again and again, so you'll become familiar with their particularities, but still be surprised by the elements that change within each map. If you've played an extraction shooter you know what I mean.
I have a handful of Choir of Flesh Black Edition copies left, so those will go up for sale on the store ASAP, and this week I'll probably announce the release of Apocrypha as well.
I think that's it for this week, I'm sorry I don't have much else to tell! Have a great week!

You could add a note in the Gravebound edition telling people to wait for gravebound editions of the other things. That way, it's understandable that previous content goes to the previous edition and this edition will receive updates in the form of those suplements updated to gravebound.
I think the Ker Nethalas release should be stepped. Change the description in sales to bold print say which edition the optional books are for. I have seen this in DivethruRPG. I feel like if WOTC can have stepped release schedule why not you? But I understand the wanting to have a clean new start.
The problem is that people don't expect much from companies like WotC, and they usually demand more from indie publishers. For example, nobody would even consider asking for a printer friendly PDF of the different D&D books, but me? If I don't offer one people really get angry and I've had people insult me for it. It seems that since I'm more approachable and just a person, people feel more at ease asking for stuff, or complaining about it. Which is why I have to be very careful with how I do this...
