Update - 07/12/2020

Hey! Another week is gone, a new one begins. This past week has been working on a few different things; from arranging art commissions for the Sand of the Eternal Sun expansion and the Marrow & Splinters zine for Disciples of Bone & Shadow, to looking into methods of investigation for the upcoming Narrative Playbook expansion for Seekers Beyond the Shroud, and many other little things here and there. I'm also trying to add more gameplay to the memories mechanic for Under Ashen Skies; I thought maybe to give the option to reject a memory, or make them intrusive and persistent until you have to accept it, but I still am not really sure how to expand that side of gameplay. I don't want to add too many systems and there already a few in place, so whatever I incorporate has to be an expansion to what I already have. All this is an attempt to add a bit more of narrative gameplay to UAS; let's see if I manage!

I assume most of you have already seen it, but I received some photos from the print of the Conquered Sun Edition of Disciples, and it looks epic! Here's one:

As for this month's Patreon content, there seems to be a tie! I think I should be able to do both (unless I go too crazy with the resting table), so I'll keep you guys posted. I don't think I will be able to completely finish the GM emulation section for Seekers though because there are too many missing pieces; I'll rework what I already have from Disciples into Seekers, and work from there. I know I'm going to eventually need things like randomly generated clue tables and faction actions (yes, I'm adding a faction meta-game to Seekers, so the world feels more alive), so those types of things will have to go on their respective chapters/sections. For now, I'll just work on the very basics: the Augur, Action & Theme tables, etc. Like I said, basically a re-skin of what I have with Disciples, because that works well, it's been tested, and there's no need to reinvent new systems.

This starting week I think I'm going to work on putting together all the materials for the Marrow & Splinters zine. I thought that, instead of going over all the Patreon content and apply the recent HP and damage changes to it, I could just skip ahead and work directly on the zine. The zine will be available as a free PDF for all Evocatus and Master patrons, and I'm planning on printing 100 copies myself and then leave it as a PoD title on DTRPG.

Here's the cover, for those few of you who are not in the Discord server!

I love it, and hope you guys do too!

So that's it for this week, hope you have a great one!
