Hello! Another week of updates! This past week has been mostly focused on my Big Secret Project, which is coming along nicely. I think I'll be able to have the layout done within the next two weeks, but then it's a matter of waiting for all the art to be finished. I don't know how realistic this is, but I'm hoping to release it in March, so an official announcement would come in 3-4 weeks! As I mentioned before, this is something I've been planning for a while, and I'm really happy to be working on it. It's going to be an amazing release, you'll see! And yes, I am releasing this myself. I'll give you guys another hint: I am just doing the layout, cleaning it up, and publishing this, I did not write it.

Aside from that, I've been working on the Active Events for this month's Patreon release. I'm very happy with how it's going so far, and it's going to add a lot of interesting and flexible gameplay to Disciples of Bone & Shadow! I want to thank all of you for voting on the future Patreon content poll, by the way. It looks like most of you don't mind seeing alternating content, so I guess I'll keep dedicating one month to Seekers and the next one to Disciples, with perhaps a tiny bit more focus on Seekers, since so many of you want to see stuff for it. Fortunately, I have lots (and I mean lots) of ideas for it, so things are going to be happening constantly.

I mentioned planning on releasing "Trees are People too", the Seekers scenario, as an improved version for ZineQuest 3, but Matt said they're too busy with other Exalted Funeral projects, so it looks like I'll be skipping ZQ this year. I could release it myself, but I'm afraid it's way too many projects for me to handle at once. I still plan on releasing it as a stand-alone zine, but probably straight to DTRPG. It shouldn't take me that much time to rework it and make it look nice, so I'll do so in between other projects. 

And guess what? I may have started yet another project, but this one is purely a personal project that I'm dealing with during my free time (so about 1 hour a day). It's really a passion project turned serious because it involves a collaboration with another creator (and no, it's not the Diogo Nogueira project, that is yet another thing that will happen this year. That one's for Seekers, by the way! And totally Matt's fault... I don't have any dates for that because it all needs to fit into EF's release schedule. But it would involve a KS, so it's a big deal!). It's also relatively easy to deal with because we're working on an existing framework, so it could be done in a month or so. We'll see!

I realize I keep teasing new projects and ideas and then nothing happens, haha. But things will start to show up, I promise! For example, the zines will be finally in my hands on Thursday, so that's another thing off the list! After that, the next release will most likely be the Big Secret Project, unless I pull a magic trick and manage to finish some of the other minor things first... (doubt it, but who knows). I feel like several projects should pop up all at once, so it's going to be fun! In any case, this year is going to see a lot of releases from my side, just wait! I love working with EF, but their release schedule was acting as a bottleneck, and having taken the step to publish stuff independently from them is really going to accelerate things, you'll see!

Hope everyone has a great week!
